00:00Jack Thorne, tell our audience about what's happened to you because of the success of

00:06Well, it's been very interesting.

00:08You know, I've been on the television a little bit.

00:11What's been happening in the last few days is my picture is being circulated with questions

00:24questions as to whether I'm a man or not, weird things like people saying that I'm Jewish

00:29when I'm not.
