The poor spend too much money on huge TVs and fatty food, claims Jamie Oliver. But Simon Pegg isn’t convinced.
“It’s very dodgy to accuse people of neglect in that respect,” Pegg tells me. “When people are in dire straits you do what you can to be happy.”
Pegg is doing his bit to make us all happy by voicing a bunch of animated insects who star in a new healthy eating iPad app for kids called Henri Le Worm.
Pegg, whose most recent film is The World’s End, is also set to return to the small screen.“I just did a pilot for a Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption writer/director) show called Mob City which is coming out at the end of this year,” he disclosed.
“You only have to look at the kind of actors now working in TV. It’s no longer film’s poorer cousin.”
