Tragic ex-Neighbours star Guy Pearce that he is unable to remember the beginning of his breakthrough film Memento.
He dropped the bombshell during a conversation with a fan.
“Yeah, I love Guy. I think he’s brilliant in everything he does. Even that time travel one,” said Guy Pearce super fan Mike Fromneighbours, who recently had his name changed by deed poll.
“So, I met him recently, just by coincidence. I’d been outside his LA home for four and a half weeks in a tent and we just happened to run into each other.”
Mr Fromneighbours took the opportunity to ask Guy clarify a plot point about Memento.
“Yeah, right at the start of the film, if you freeze-frame it, you can see that he’s got a tattoo that says ‘crispie’ right at the top of his inner thigh, so I asked him what it was and he said he couldn’t remember the start of the film.”
The brave star tried to make light of his condition.
“Yeah, he laughed as he said it and walked away, you know, quite briskly. But, I could tell that it was something more. Something bad. Because of the connection I have with Guy.
“I just want him to know that he’ll be there to support him with his brain problem.”
Mr Fromneighbours has promised to remain in his tent outside Guy’s house until the star makes a complete recovery
A great comfort, we’re sure.
