Trivia

In The Neverending Story music video, Limahl (Christopher Hamill) is accompanied by actress Mandy Newton, who lip syncs the words sung by Beth Anderson. Mandy was hired to "perform" the song in the video, because she was already in the UK and had previously worked with Limahl, while Beth was expensively located in the US. Mandy Newton performed with Limahl as a backup singer on many occasions during his solo career. Neither Limahl nor Beth actually met during the recording of the song, but later performed together on a few occasions in the US.

His stage name, Limahl is an anagram of his last name, Hamill.

On May 12th 2002 he held a surprise concert for the contestants in the Norwegian Big Brother-house. When joining them for a drink in the house after the show his first question was: "So, has there been any shagging going on!?"

In the early 80's, there was a lack of products suitable for Limahl's particular hairstyle, so he used baby oil in his hair to achieve his look.

In his teens, he worked as a hairdresser.
