Salut!

I was back at RADA last week. I am really finding it a voyage of self-discovery, because I am someone who naturally tends to keep a lot of things inside, and learning to convey meaning not just in words, but in actions, is actually quite liberating.

When I say actions, I don't mean physically but more in terms of expression. And it's not as easy as one might think. Towards the end of the week I was up on stage and gave my first performance - my adrenalin was pumping, but once I got into it, I really enjoyed myself!

On Wednesday I did a Power Boat Offshore test in Southampton with the world champion Steve Curtis. I am looking at possibly competing with him in the future, which would be very exciting!

I was supposed to be back to class today, but I found out over the weekend that my first football coach has passed away and it is his funeral today. It is very sad news for me, as he was a hugely inspirational person in my career.

I'm back at class tomorrow, and then heading over to Belfast in the afternoon for the John Daly show. On Wednesday I will be attending a RADA lunch at the Savoy which Lord Attenborough has invited me to.

For those of you who have emailed asking about my Sainte-Maxime Beach Soccer tournament, this year it will be from Friday 4th July until Sunday 6th July.

Have a good week!

A bientôt
