Talk:Matt Lucas

message: Can anybody confirm the factual accuracy of this sentence:
:Matt's hair fell after being knocked down by a car at the age of four.
It was changed from an earlier, completely different "fact" by an anonymous user. Joe D (t) 16:17, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I read in an interview with his mum in some TV giude that his hair fell out as a result of his dad leaving the family, but I have no knowlege of how true this is.--Crestville 18:15, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: In an interview on the series 1 DVD he did say it fell out in clumps when he was very young, but didn't give any reasons for it.  Joe D (t) 23:02, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Next, can we get references for Daffyd being based on Lucas?  IIRC, in the Radio 2 interview on the Series 1 DVD they say Daffyd's based on somebody they knew years ago who refused to believe anybody else he knew could be gay.  It's possible Daffyd is a combination of the two though... Joe D (t) 23:02, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: based the character Daffyd Thomas on himself, recalling how he felt he was "the only gay in the village" only to find out that everyone accepted it and wasn't shocked by it.
According to a recent interview on Michael Parkinson's chat show, this character was created by David Walliams, rather than by Matt himself. I have no idea if this is inconsistent with earlier interviews though - so don't like to change the article. - MykReeve T·C 20:53, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

message: There's a section in the David Walliams page about his work with Lucas. Should we also include that in this article (or even create a new one)? Apterygial 07:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I am translating the article into Chinese,but what is the meaning of "Write for Sacha Baron Cohen"? A writer to an artor or something?i can't understand.
我正在翻译这篇文章，但是其中一句“Lucas has written for actor Sacha Baron Cohen.”我不能理解。是Lucas为Cohen或他的角色写剧本还是什么其他的，谁能解释一下？--Zhufangliang (talk) 16:38, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The BBC site only says that McGee was "found hanged". This may have been accidental death rather than suicide and so I am changing the statement unless an alternate source that clearly states suicide as a cause of death is provided.—Ash (talk) 08:15, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The beeb now says he left a suicide note...  I think McGee deserves his own page?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.237.64.150 (talk) 08:17, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Now added the Daily Mail as a source and added the statement given there to the text. Note that Kevin McGee redirects to the right part of this article.—Ash (talk) 08:29, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Should this page have the Shooting Stars template at the bottom? The article is obviously about Matt Lucas in general, not his persona George Dawes on Shooting Stars, so it seems a little out of place. President Evil Zero (talk) 23:40, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Apparently ML is, by his own account, also a German citizen.  As far as I can see this is probably not of any particular notability, and may not even be strictly speaking verifiable, as there's only a primary source (his tweet) and some iffy-looking (and outright deprecated) UK media sources re-reporting this.  109.255.211.6 (talk) 00:43, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Entirely plausible. See German nationality law#Victims of Nazi persecution. Article 116 of the Grundgesetz gives a right to German nationality to anyone whose citizenship was revoked for political, racial or religious reasons under the Nazi regime, such as Lucas's Jewish grandmother, or their descendants.  There is now a similar provision under Austrian nationality law. 82.132.233.144 (talk) 16:58, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
