The Bravo Truth Game

Peter Wyngarde makes a surprise confession: “I’m waiting for my third great love!”

Why does he sometimes dream at night of a James Bond character who looks just like Jason king? Why can’t he stand women who don’t have a sense of humour? And why does he consider it important that a man is able to fib convincingly?

Question: Are there any experiences in your life that you’d rather have missed?

Peter: None at all. Every experience, even a bad one, has its advantages.

Question: What is your greatest talent?

Peter: Energy and concentration.

Question: What about faults?

Peter: I’m too impatient an easily hurt.

Question: What do you think about marriage?

Peter: I was very young when I married and it went wrong. I think that everyone should be in love at least three times. Unfortunately, this wouldn’t be possible if you were wearing a wedding ring.

Question: Have you already at these three loves?

Peter: I’m still waiting for the third!

Question: What is your favourite food?

Peter: Fresh fish and lots of salads.

Question: Favourite drink?

Peter: French country wine.

Question: What quality do you appreciate most in a woman?

Peter: Humour. If a woman can’t laugh, she’d get on my nerves!

Question: What quality do you consider most important in a man?

Peter: To charmingly unconvincingly tell fibs!

Question: What is your favourite book?

Peter: The one I’m reading at the time.

Question: Who are your favourite favourite composers?

Peter: Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert.

Question: Favourite actors?

Peter: Laurence Olivier, Marlon Brando I’m Vivien Leigh, who died much too young.

Question: Do you have a dream part?

Peter: I dream of a part much along the lines of James Bond but not so terribly serious, more playful Jason King.

Question: Imagine you were living on a desert island for a year and you were only allowed to take three things with you. What would they be?

Peter: Three women a cool blonde, a fiery black haired one, and a gentle brunette.

Question: Have you been telling the truth in this Questionnaire?

Peter: If I said yes, you think I was lying. Therefore, I shall say no!
