Hot Wax

Footballer Emmanuel Petit is clearly petrified of Ruby Wax. So scared, he can't speak. 'Boy, you speak a lot when you don't speak,' Wax says, referring to his voluminous silence in response to one of her brazen queries.

And indeed he does look quite profound and mysterious for a moment, until you realise he's just frightened of the mad lady - the one who accosted him in the car park, tried to chat him up during an interview, asked his lovely new wife what he was like in bed then made best friends with her, had a proper full-on go at his boss at Barcelona FC for not playing him because it ruined her documentary, then cornered him in Britain (he now plays for Chelsea) for a final interview which had him almost falling off the single bed where she tried to snuggle next to him, Paula Yates-style.

He is - how you say? - making bricks.

His wife, however, clearly doesn't have any fear of Ruby, doesn't see any sides and opens up so trustingly the Wax almost melts.
