GIAMATTI THRILLED ABOUT BRITISH FART FILM

Actor PAUL GIAMATTI's favourite movie experience was on the set of a little-known British film about a kid who couldn't stop farting.
The Oscar nominated star of Sideways has gone on to become one of Hollywood's most respected actors, but he fears his best work came on 2002 film Thunderpants, which featured Ned Beatty, Stephen Fry and Harry Potter's best friend Rupert Grint.
Giamatti says, "Thunderpants is a fine motion picture that I made in England a long time ago about a kid who farts uncontrollably.
"This came across my desk and I had to be a part of it... I play a guy from NASA who kidnaps him (kid) so that he can power a rocket.
"Strangely enough this picture never made it across the Atlantic but I think it was huge in England for a while. It's one of my favourite pictures; I loved making this movie... It's every variation on a fart joke that you could possible imagine."
