Lol! folks from "down under" don't know the "fist bump?"

[RobCharles1981]

@303430 Please Elaborate ?

[HwangPasta]

@RobCharles1981 That's why he was holding out his fist, for a fist bump, but all the people left him hanging, lol. It's like a handshake or high five.

[poprocksxxcoke]

This statue seems pretty nice.

The ones in Belgium get cranky and won't let you film them if you don't have change :(

[RobCharles1981]

@poprocksxxcoke yeah he was cool what you could do is just poke him for attention like some people I've had words with on here.

[myluvforuinsatiable]

What if someone kicks into his balls? will he react the same? :/

[RobCharles1981]

@myluvforuinsatiable Thats a good question!

[amora1713]

i miss u cardiff

[BZLCharlie]

I love this guy

I once tried to make him move by poking him a few times...but he didn't XD

"What does he do when someone nicks his plate of money?"

One of my friends did this. He lost it. Chased him up the street and grapped him by the neck of his tshirt

[RobCharles1981]

I thought he was fantastic you don't get this sort of entertainment in Swansea I can say that.

Is this guy local?

So this guy actually ran after him in his act?

WTF!!

[BZLCharlie]

Yeah he's always in Cardiff normally next to one of the trees in the main street.

Yeah he did. It was histerical. He got really angry.

Funny you say that about swansea, I saw an amazing statue guy today in Swansea (he was gold). When I put money in his tray he grabbed me and went back into statue mode. I was there for like 10 minutes. A HUGE crowd gathered. He was damn good aswell

[RobCharles1981]

Is that A Face Mask this guy is wearing here?

Where in Swansea did you see that???

[BZLCharlie]

Nah that's his face. He paints it

Urmm...in the highstreet just down from Woolworths - that bit in the middle of the shops where you normally see random kids rides and stalls and stuff (sorry my knowledge of swansea isnt that great)

[cutterschoicenotmine]

He gets people stealing his tray quite a bit, hes an ok guy tho, I was doing a photography project and got a very close portrait of him.

Seriously, hes the worlds first bionic man!

[RobCharles1981]

Is this Guy Local ???

[cutterschoicenotmine]

dunno his website is thestatueandtheclown

[RobCharles1981]

Looking at it now......

[samsbudgie]

[RobCharles1981]

@samsbudgie :-)

[crazycharlee]

ive met him!!! i have a pic of me and my sister holding his hand!! i was amazed at him and then i was told there are loads of them everywhere hahahahaha :D xxx

[RobCharles1981]

Where is this guy from? Are you from Cardiff??

[crazycharlee]

Yeah! I'm not sure where he's from but I saw him in Cardiff town centre!!

[RobCharles1981]

Do you think he was local? Did he speak to you ???

[crazycharlee]

I'm not sure but I think he probably is local because he's there a lot! He didn't speak to me but held my hand - doing his act! :D

[RobCharles1981]

XD It's amazing how they do this!

[cornwall59]

They have a lot of this sort of thing in Barcelona,i remember it well !

[RobCharles1981]

Maybe this guy here is different I'm sure this guy is local!

[007vauxhall]

Brilliant

[RobCharles1981]

Thanks, I enjoyed filming this!

[advisorC101]

This is incredible! Now I'm stoned! XD

[RobCharles1981]

And I am!

Any answers to my questions??

[advisorC101]

Right.

1. He takes pills that stops him from you know what. (don't ask me how I know about that)

3. He kills them in a rock slide. Or he just runs after them.

5. Probably early in the morning until the moment the place is quite enough for him to slip away.

[RobCharles1981]

LOL

Good Answers!

[RobCharles1981]

Another One What about what does he do for Food and Drink?

[advisorC101]

He uh... must have some of those military issue survival pills (turkey flavour). Takes them before the show. They last hours :P

[RobCharles1981]

lol

[silverstartrucker]

Always a big attraction and a great act. I saw a guy once at the end of Brighton Pier dressed as a wild west cowboy, might be the same man. The kids love this...

[RobCharles1981]

I agree, I don't think its the same man I think its someone local in Cardiff, how the hell do they do this??
