Sir David Jason whose age is now 84‚ cant seem to escape the spirit of Del Boy - a character he played for more than twenty years. The well-known actor admits having constant mental chats with his famous alter-ego
You walk around with the ghost of Del Boy on your shoulder peering over your shoulder saying‚ ʼGo on Tell her Bonjourʼ
The actor - who played the role from early 80s till early 2000s - is now trying to break free from this type-cast situation; he believes that experienced performers like him have lots to give to modern productions
Last year brought life-changing news when Sir David met his previously unknown daughter Abi Harris (who he had with co-star Jennifer Hill about fifty years ago). The family including his wife of nearly twenty years and Abis son are now getting closer: they plan to spend x-mas together playing board-games
His new projects include a co-hosted BBC-2 show with Jay Blades called “David and Jays Touring Toolshed“ where they visit different shows looking for:
- Air shows
- Steam rallies
- Craft fairs
- Vintage festivals
The actor has also written a fresh memoir (even though he thought he had nothing more to tell). The book talks about meeting his daughter and denies rumors about problems with his old co-star Nicholas Lyndhurst - they just dont have enough time to meet up these days
