Vinnie Jones joins Only Fools and Horses – The Musical!
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Vinnie, 59, says: “I love a bit of wheeler- dealing, you don’t forget where you come from.
“Anyway, I later found out all the nests of tables had a leg missing, in every box, and the toasters — the spring was so strong they’d shoot out and hit the roof.”He added: “One of the players got one for his mum for Christmas and they’d just decorated the kitchen and the toast comes out, ‘Bang!’ and it’s all black on the ceiling.
“They ask me to open up the garage and they shimmy between the wall and these TVs, which were wall to wall, ceiling to floor, and I never got asked about it. The show is now on a nationwide tour until July 5 next year, following its record-breaking four-year sold-out run in the West End.Vinnie, who will only appear in the Hammersmith dates, reveals he was offered a part in the stage production before it first launched but felt it was not the right time to take it on., his close friend and the man who sparked his acting career by casting him in 1998 Brit gangster flick Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels.
The duo — played by 6ft 4in Roy Marsden and 5ft 1in Christopher Ryan — terrified Del Boy, Rodney and the rest of the Nags Head regulars on the show. He adds: “I enjoy the acting, but football was my life. You could have cut my arm off for football. Like these people I’m working with now, acting is their everything, but my parallel is football.“I’d never cut my arm off for the acting, whereas I would have done for the football.
