Johnny Vegas: “I don’t want to be a dad who’s a role model for being a drunk”
Johnny Vegas: “I don’t want to be a dad who’s a role model for being a drunk”
Johnny Vegas is adjusting himself in his seat to tell the story. “What I
really love cooking at weekends is a Sunday brunch,” he says, waving his
Marlboro Light about in the air for emphasis. “But I’m not one of those

about three hours with me, so it’s a question of getting up early to make a
start. The thing is, though” — he adopts his trademark tone of jolly despair
and his cigarette hand comes sadly to rest on the table — “the food’s just
never all that magnificent in the end. You know that feeling, ‘This should
taste better’? Because of all that work that I’ve done, it really should” —
mock-sobbing now — “just somehow taste ... better! Do you know what I mean?”
