“What would Tim do? (I know three Tims very well; this was the one I met when I was three – the only one I’ve seen in the press) He would throw himself into this completely because it’s a laugh.”

I had a lot of fun at my own private photo shoot on the observation deck at Jo’burg International.
“You’ve modelled before, haven’t you?”
