Akin's Blog - #1

11 November 08

I knew I was in trouble when people I hadn’t spoken to in ages started to leave messages on my phone.

It started off with the odd message from people that worked in the media, and now it has snowballed into screaming teenagers hurling themselves at me in front of Oxford Street tube station. In fact, I now live in mortal dread of perfect strangers walking up to me and maniacally asking for my autograph - okay I exaggerate a bit, but you get the idea: people have been really nice and congratulatory towards me on hearing or reading of my BAFTA nomination.

My wife hasn’t helped matter either. She had told my 'dirty big secret' to the next door neighbour, the double glazing guy and the child minder. Now their smiles are a little broader and their eyes brighten up just a little more when they say hi in the morning.
