More Hilarious Booshiness
Noel Fielding causes chaos backstage at NME Awards:
Mighty Boosh comic Noel Fielding caused chaos backstage when he jumped on TV presenter Nick Grimshaw's foot.
Poor Grimshaw, presenting C4's coverage of the NME Awards, told me: "The Doctors have said I've three broken toes." Ouch!
Shaggy-haired Noel, 24, who picked up Sexiest Male prize on the night, made me giggle when he said: "I think I look a bit like a goat - though women must like goats.
"It's great being sexiest, though. I can get up to all sorts - Russell Brand is going to be so jealous."
Sounds as though winning the award just might have given our Noel a big head.
This is great...I love especially how they say hes 24 and not 34...probably closer to how he looks, but nowhere near accurate :OP
And another:
Sexy Noel plans Mighty Boosh movie
Comedian Noel Fielding has been talking about winning the NME's sexiest male award and the possibility of a Mighty Boosh movie.
The skinny-jeans wearing Goth god, who also won the gong for best TV show, said: "It's ridiculous, how can I be sexiest male?
"I mean my mum and my girlfriend think I'm sexy, but other than that... everyone else is like 'he looks like a goblin to me'" - Noel Fielding"I mean my mum and my girlfriend think I'm sexy, but other than that... everyone else is like 'he looks like a goblin to me'."
Asked about the film, Noel said: "Ye there are rumours about a film.
"We've got an idea and some people want us to do it, so fingers crossed maybe the end of next year."
