George Burgess

Tommy Badweight Birmingham.

Like talking beers, pizza.

That's your fight name, Badweight.

Pies and pizza.

Gallo's Pies.

That's what I was eating.

Gallo's Pies.

How many pies a day were you eating?

Gallo, Sean Garlic, Charles, they just used to send me pies.

I was like, I need to put on weight.

It was like.

Just being a big, big bear.

Big hairy bear.

Just proper man, you know, like I was playing a character who works on a fishing trawler, commercial fishing boat, you know, he works 200 bucks a week.

and he probably gets pies from the servo and he doesn't can't afford a haircut so it did not make sense for me to step into this role and look like george burgess the nrl player i could not do that the audience would it was called straight away so like everyone who watches the film they don't know it's me until after oh that's that's you so i think that i pulled it off and the way it's starting to come off now so yeah how much did you put on for the rock

20, 30 kilos, I reckon.

Fucking hell.

Because the film, we were due to start filming after Australia Day.

And then it got delayed till December.

So I was ready on January.
