DOWNTIME WITH... ADAM BEARD "I got my missus a fake Gucci bag. She thinks it's real so is pretty chuffed!"

The Wales lock talks WWE, Adam Sandler films and gifting poo timers

WHAT’S THE funniest thing you’ve seen or heard on the pitch?

I was playing in the second row with Bradley Davies. He was renowned as a bit of a joker and Jack the Lad. We were going backwards in one scrum and he was making ‘beep-beep’ noises like a car reversing. It was funny but pretty hard to get the props going forward after that!

What really annoys you? 

Loud eating. When you can hear someone chewing really loudly or with their mouth open. 

If your house was on fire, what one item would you save?

My phone. I think everyone would pick that these days. 

What’s the best thing you’ve ever bought?

We went to Turkey and they do pretty good fakes out there. I got my missus a fake Gucci bag and she thinks it’s real, so she’s pretty chuffed with that!

And the silliest? 

When we first got together we used to buy each other practical joke gifts for Christmas. I’d say a poo timer was the funniest I bought. 

What’s the best present you’ve ever received?
