Damn, very young - I remember seeing him in a documentary about giant humans. Seems he died of heart failure; the giant guy who played Tiny in Rob Zombie's film died young of something similar, guess the heart's under massive pressure to service a body that huge.

Anyone who pissed off Mary Whitehouse was a goodun. :yes:

About the song My Ding A Ling. :lol:

"One teacher," Whitehouse wrote to the BBC's Director General, "told us of how she found a class of small boys with their trousers undone, singing the song and giving it the indecent interpretation which—in spite of all the hullabaloo—is so obvious … We trust you will agree with us that it is no part of the function of the BBC to be the vehicle of songs which stimulate this kind of behaviour—indeed quite the reverse."

RIP.

Undoubtedly the most annoying character in all the Bond movies though, and massively dragged down both LALD and TMWTGG into stupid farces.
