In the UK the Guardian has published a list of questions school children would like to ask celebrities, including this question for Damian Lewis from a 10 year-old named Bali King:
To Damian Lewis “Sometimes people in year 6 and year 4 make up songs about my hair and follow me round singing them, like, ‘Get back in your biscuit tin, Ginger, Ginger.’ Did anything like that happen to you at school?”
Poor Bali King! I wish I could tell him that those kids are just jealous and that red hair is beautiful. In fact, the 4,600 women of the Damian Lewis Yahoo! Group think that red-headed men can be gorgeous!
Hopefully Bali will have a chance to attend Root
