Rob Beckett Explains How Difficult It Was Going To The Brits As A Giraffe
Comedian Rob Beckett has revealed how complicated it was going to the Brit Awards dressed as a giraffe.
Beckett was talking to Lorraine Kelly on her ITV morning show to promote his new TV show Rob Beckett's Smart TV and his new tour – entitled Giraffe – when the subject turned to his show-stealing appearance at the Brits on Sunday at the 02 Arena.
"Basically I got invited to the Brits but when you're a 38 year old comedian at the Brits no one really cares. The reason I'm going is to promote my new tour called giraffe so I thought I'll dress ike that and everyone took photos and spoke to me about it.
I thought it would be quite funny but I was scared to do it. I got there and then I was panicking. I was sat in a taxi outside the O2 in a flaccid giraffe costume and the nerves went through the roof and then I took the spare batteries and I got out and I just thought I want to go to the Brits dressed as a giraffe but that's not really me, that's not the kind of thing I do. However, it's not the kind of person you are until it is a person you are so I went to the Brits and and got in the paper and hopefully sold a few tickets by the time I was back home watching Gladiators in the morning with the kids. Job done .
But the danger is it's an inflatable suit. There's a little battery pack and a fan at the back, but in order for the fan to inflate I've got to time it right so it started to inflate in the car but I had to get out of the car before I got too big to get trapped in the car so that was stressful. I tipped the driver because he didn't need that in his life.
The worst part was I had to take the costume off to give out the award so I'm around the corner and I had to take my top off and I've basically I've got the giraffe costume down to my feet and I'm I'm topless lent over. Noone looks good like that, not even David Beckham.
Then I shoved it under the table when I got to the table. There was all the actors there, like the guy who played Bob Marley, Ashley Walters from Top Boy, people from Downtown Abbey. I was in normal clothes and they were going 'did you see that stupid idiot in a giraffe costume?'"
