Who’s Who #10: Eddie Izzard

Someone’s killed 100,000 people. We’re almost going, “Well done! You killed 100,000 people? You must get up very early in the morning! I can’t even get down the gym.

Steve McQueen in The Great Escape

Eddie Izzard on The Great Escape: On the day of the escape, Steve McQueen has joined up. The British have trilby hats, overcoats, canoe, bit of a rabbit. And, er… Steve’s just there in jeans and a T-shirt. Disguised as an American man.

He romps out, jumps on a motorbike, knocks a guy off. Within minutes he reaches Switzerland. This is from Poland. And if you don’t know the geography, it goes Poland, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Venezuela, Africa, Beirut, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and then Switzerland, where the Nazi gold comes from. So, yes.
