David Attenborough

And I've met some of the people that he's worked with and they would say he can do it in like a quarter of the time that other people half his age would.

Liveline
David Attenborough

He can sit down, he'll get it done and he's famously known for having his cheese sandwich at the end of it.

Liveline
David Attenborough

You know, so he's, yeah, but again, his information's always science-backed, but he gives the message in a normal way that everyone can understand.

Liveline
David Attenborough

But he won't say something unless he knows something about science.

David Attenborough

I asked him about, I did a sleep study on elephants, and I asked him what his opinion was, and he was very confidently and calmly told me, well, I don't know anything about elephant sleep.

I met him back in, what, 2017, and we had a quick chat, and it was amazing.

Liveline
David Attenborough

He was at a dinner.

Liveline
David Attenborough

It was amazing.

Liveline
David Attenborough

It was a dinner in London.

Liveline
David Attenborough

So it was a nice relaxed atmosphere and he was as amazing as you would hope he to be.

Liveline
David Attenborough

Well, I certainly didn't see that.

Liveline
David Attenborough

I mean, I found him to be totally genuine.

Liveline
David Attenborough

And, you know, not to sound too cheesy, but I never met either my granddad.

Liveline
David Attenborough

They both died before I was born.

Liveline
David Attenborough

And I genuinely grew up, like, wishing and hoping he was my granddad.

Liveline
David Attenborough

And, of course, since then I've realised many people think the same way.

Liveline
David Attenborough

But I found him to be, you know, very genuine and very, you know, just...

Liveline
David Attenborough

I felt very warm.

Liveline
David Attenborough

My friends like me for being able to talk to a brick wall.

Liveline
David Attenborough

I enjoy talking.
