HOSKINS SUFFERED TO BE BADGER

British actor BOB HOSKINS is still suffering from recurrent aches and pains after playing BADGER in an upcoming TV version of THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS. The LONG GOOD FRIDAY star, 64, began to feel his age as he painstakingly mastered the correct stance for his character in the BBC adaptation of the KENNETH GRAHAME children's classic. He says, "I've got aches and pains from the way Badger stands. "I gave him a certain walk, all hunched shoulders, and moving from side to side. "Now my shoulders, joints and back are paying the price."
