Covent Garden - Street Performer - Roman Warrior

In my opinion the best of the living statues in Covent Garden...

Note: YouTube disabled the original audio, hence the current song is no longer what I say it is in the final credits. While I'm not as happy with the replacement song, it's hopefully better than a silent video.

Is his body real? It looks fake!

[robtron2]

@Marky88P - Yeah, it's covered in some kind of silver paint, and obviously has spent many hours in the gym, but aside from that its real.

[bonfid]

I thought human statues were supposed to be still. Isn't that the point? I'm just sayin'

[robtron2]

@bonfid I don't think there's really a rule book on the subject, but I think generally speaking the 'statues' that move and interact with the crowd, make the most money. This guy was brilliant, and easily the most entertaining statue I've seen to date.

@robtron2

Brilliant???, If you say so. Seems more like mildly amusing to me. And yeah, sorry, I've never seen a statue move before, human or otherwise. The point of human statues is that they are absolutely still, so that people think that they are real statues. The surprise them when they move. I'm sure this guy makes more bucks than most, but his skills are lousy, IMO.

@coleportewagner - my apologies if I used incorrect terminology or voiced a different opinion to yours. Yes, perhaps his skills at standing perfectly still and pretending to be a real statue are lousy, but doing that simply won't pay the bills. But thank you.

@Marky88P how do u think his body is fake???? yeah, he has airbrushing paint but other then that that is his body. lol

[MrShaun42088]

I tried to film him on my mobile once, but you did a much better job, he's one of the best living statues in Covent Garden, south bank also has some great street actors & living statues by County Hall which made me jump out of my skin once, since they looked so lifelike as I walked past, until they started moving suddenly!! xd

[SnowPrincess67]

Saw this guy last year and thought he was brilliant. He really draws a crowd. Definitely puts a smile on peoples faces.

[coleportewagner]

Statues don't move. This guy's a f'n mime.

[11thhourreprieve]

@coleportewagner he's an interactive statue, way more fun for the punters.

[11thhourreprieve]

@bonfid everything's interactive these days, even TV. I think it's a better show for punters who pose with him and get photos because he's interactive rather than ignorant until people pop cash in his pocket.
