An End-of-the-Year Treat For Tom Jones Fans: A Very Silly, Very Funny Video Interview
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008
If nothing else, this November 20 online interview proves to everyone (especially those who take Sir Tom so very solemnly) that the man has a terrific sense of humor about himself.
By way of introduction, the site says:
At 184 yrs old, Tom has released his new album
Our HM film crew took the risky strategy of breaking in to Tom Jones hotel room disguised as cleaning maids and threatened to play him his new album non stop, unless he gave us an interview. What do you know, he was only too willing to oblige. Just goes to show, if you don’t try you never know.
So Tom, now you’ve tried, we all know — it doesn’t work.
We ended up getting a charming insight into a national treasure and asked him some indepth questions such as, “If your beard colour was sampled as a Dulux brand, what would it be called?” — Genius.
(Moderator’s Note: “Dulux” is paint)
Now, here, from HolyMoly.com comes this entirely silly interview with Sir Tom.
Thanks once again, Dre.

Wish I was the cleaning maid! Just goes to show what you learn on this site, I thought oregano was a spice for cooking.

Gill: It is. They were talking about “origami,” the Japanese art of paper-folding.

I appreciated watching this video. The interview gave me a chance to really just gaze at Tom, the man. He is truly blessed. His 68 years of age have only enhanced his virility and good looks and I loved his generosity of personality and humor and underlying sincerity. All these gifts manifest in his innovative 24 Hours CD that I often play.
