Loved this interview of Eddie the Eagle I would love to see him in action on The ski slopes Normally I don’t like sports but this bloke was so inspiring And I really enjoy watching the movie

What a wonderful man , shame
On us English not to sponsor Eddy, loved the film , keep going
Eddy , think of the money and
Have a great life , you are a real inspiration to us all, God bless you

[@lewisdean22]

Yes shame on all you English definitely

[@clubredken13]

I wish he had said something about how he trained.
Because that is the reason the movie was made. Crazy kid starts...
you know... ski jumping. I live in B.C. so I remember Eddie the Eagle..
from childhood.
But did he go to a hill at 20 and just start jumping? We all want to know.

[@justmadeit2]

I'm guessing Eddie would have made some decent money from the film about him? Hope so. Good bloke
