To say Brian Blessed is a bit of a character is an understatement.
The larger-than-life actor recently hit the headlines for a story he told about delivering a baby in a London park, but his latest revelation is even more grandiose.
Blessed claims to have met Pablo Picasso when he was a teenager, according to the Daily Mail.
Naturally when you come into contact with one of the most famous artists of his generation, you’ll ask him for a picture.
But despite going on to act in The Legend of the Tamworth Two and Mist: The Tale of a Sheepdog Puppy, 14-year-old Blessed had very high standards.
“I threw his drawing on the floor and in doing so threw away about £50million,” he said.
The piece in question is now on display in an art gallery in Sheffield, and Blessed seems to regret his decision.
