After working with partners Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright to create a successful British sitcom (Spaced) and two hit feature films (Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz), Nick Frost now appears as '60s DJ Doctor Dave in the upcoming Pirate Radio. He's also a charming, soft-spoken Brit, and I encourage you to read this interview with his voice in your head.
Your character in this film, Dave, could be quite the sexual role model for full-figured men.
I think I'm going to be asked to appear on the cover of "All American Bear". It's pretty brave of Richard (Curtis, the director) to cast a 20 stone man in a romantic role. It's not everyday you get to just wander around naked and people don't give a sh*t.
Tom Sturridge (the film's lead) said the one scene he'd always remember was being naked with you in a tiny boat bathroom. If you had to show an alien race how different the human form can be I think Tom would be at one end and I'd be at the other. If you get the Blu-Ray version and pause, you will see a sliver of nut. Two hands couldn't contain my range.
This film is a love letter to 1960s rock. Were you familiar with the era's music?Growing up, my big love was house music. I was 15 or 16, going to raves and not going to school like naughty boy. In the first week of the film, I said to Richard, "I've never listened to a Rolling Stones record, don't tell anyone." And he immediately told Bill Nighy - he's a massive Stones nut - and Bill told me off for 5 minutes.
