He knew Guy Ritchie for several years prior to both their endeavours
into the motion picture world. He & Guy became reacquainted just before
the release of Guy's showstopper "Lock Stock..." at which point Guy
politely informed Ade of his new project, titled at that time
"Diamonds" now known as
Snatch - Lo strappo (2000). He was always a
character that appealed to Guy and as the the days progressed during
the shooting, Guy realised that he had discovered a real diamond in the rough.
