He knew Guy Ritchie for several years prior to both their endeavours
into the motion picture world. He & Guy became reacquainted just before

"Diamonds" now known as
Snatch : Tu braques ou tu raques (2000). He was always a

the shooting, Guy realised that he had discovered a real diamond in the rough.
