LIFE'S A GAZ

Full Monty star glad to reprise steely stripper role for Disney

ROBERT Carlyle thought The Full Monty was going to be "a load of f***ing pish" when it came out in 1997, and he had a few doubts about bringing it back.

As he returns to the role of Gaz for an eight-part Disney+ series, the Scottish actor admitted: "I guess I'd lost sight of the film and what it was about, you know? I started thinking, 'I don't know whether this is going to work".

But Robert, 62, now feels the tale of hard-up, unemployed Sheffield steelworkers is relevant due to Britain's present financial woes.
