Under The Skin - Johansson & McWilliams

Under The Skin stars Scarlett Johansson as a seductive alien who preys on and kills Scotsmen. It's directed by British filmmaker Jonathan Glazer - who made the brilliant Sexy Beast.

Scarlett's character has a superbike-riding accomplice played by former GP star Jeremy McWilliams. In an exclusive interview with me, for one of my regular day job clients, Performance Bikes, McWill told me this...

‘There’s some running, stabbing, some killing, bit of everything. There are some really weird scenes in it. It’s not a talking part, I’m just murdering people and clearing up after [Johansson].'

In one scene, McWilliams is riding at 150mph down a Glasgow motorway, in another he is fighting a naked actor who has a real, almost Elephant Man-like disfigurement. Sex and the City it is not.

Jeremy McWilliams (#99), now 50 years old, will be trying to win one of the NorthWest 200 Supertwin races tonight and another on Saturday, on the Ryan Farquhar-prepared KMR Kawasaki 650. G

Edinburgh: Tonight

Short notice, but not to be missed.

Scottish Street Tracker

Blogger had a fit. We're not complaining, it's normally a brilliant service and totally free. But we lost a couple of interesting posts and the comments with them. It wasn't us. G

Hi Gary,
Theres hardly anybody up here in Scotland doing anything imaginative concerning bike-building though myself and a few mates have a right handful of things which go completely un-noticed because of our lack of desire to be seen. I, however, have grown tired of my friends efforts being enjoyed by us alone so i thought I would sneak you a shot of Paul's wee tracker.There was a helluva lot of time, effort and dosh went into this wee ride and I'd like to see it on your killer blog.
See wot ya think?
