Question Teaching famous people

I have just watched the repeat of Jonathon Ross On Friday Night. In it Eddie Izzard appeared and apparently he is some kind of PPL. . .. .I am a huge Eddie fan. I would have given my left arm to have taught him to fly. Its always illuminating to teach someone to fly. You share an awful lot of insight during the process. To have done this with EI would have been extraordinary. I almost got to teach someone famous whom I admired but it never came off. I am intrigued to hear other FI's experiences in this respect.. .. .It seems a dissproportinate number of high profile people are pilots. Probably a function of wealth and their travel experience.. I will never forget Eddie Izzards routine about flying in S Ireland in something like a Twotter and the pilot having Jammy Dodger biscuits.... .. .WWW
