Izzard back on the marathons

[Dreadhead]

anybody read this? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...s-around-South-Africa-for-Nelson-Mandela.html

Eddie Izzard running another 27 marathons barefoot or in barefoot running shoes. he gives a good message but also glad to see him promoting barefoot running too especially after his last 43 marathons which was just crazy.

the guy is a hero

I have a lot of respect for people like him, David Walliams etc. Anyone that can do that is great in mmy mind.

 

[Dreadhead]

yup definitly. im a huge fan of his stand ups too so was already a fan but his determination for marathons is impressive and pretty damn inspriring

won't be cake or death for mr izzard for a while
in seriousness i think highly of folk who are 'celebrities' but give something back

 

[Dreadhead]

arfarfarf aye. to be fair i dont think of eddie izzard as much of a celebrity, hes often overlooked and seems to have withdrawn a little from standup and yet doesnt progress much in hollywood so hes always sort of behind the scenes. its great seeing him giving something back as you said and getting out there for a good cause

Fair play to the chap.

Love his humour, he has to be one of the best comics we have these days.
