David Starkey is correct!
by Reality-Bites on Thu Aug 18, 2011 02:52 PM PDTOmid Djalili is from a small village in Southern Mozambique.
And rumour has it, Omid has been using skin lightening tablets and lotions to make himself look Iranian, so that he could forge a career as an Iranian-British comic in the UK.
Things people do for fame, eh?
I missed this episode - drat!
by Truthseeker9 on Thu Aug 18, 2011 12:31 PM PDTI am sure Omid Djalili will laugh his head off. But what is Starkey thinking? BTW DK, have you head about this? Although he is a bit of a dork I hope it will not happen.
