More later but first a Photo



This is Toby Froud. He was the baby in the movie Labyrinth. He has taken after both his parents and is quite an artist in his own right.

The puppet is Milo which Toby built.

I am grateful I got to jam with Toby on puppets.

Goodness, I can still see that baby in his face! He grew up to be quite cute! I'm glad he's taken after his parents. :)

You can tell that Wendy is very proud of him and his achievements when she talks about him. He had his new portfolio with him that had pictures of his last show at University. He has his father's artistic sense.

OMG! I can totally see it in his face! :) Wow, that's so cool that you got to know him. Dance, magic, dance...

This is my fourth year of doing the class and it is always fun. Toby and I end up talking puppets at some point. He had some really cool ones he created for kids to use.

OMG! I can't believe that's Toby! Wow :) He grew up into quite the cutie didn't he? *g*

And now I must go home and watch the Labyrinth tonight :)

Yeah and with a lovely British accent too.

He is a really sweet kid.

The last pic I saw of him he was rockin some serious satyr legs at Faeriecon. Sometimes I wonder how strange (and awesome) it must be to see your baby self jamming with David Bowie. :-)

We asked him if he remember anything of shooting the film and he said No. Not really. He says that honestly it was so early in his life that any memories would probably be mixed up with seeing the movie later.

And very well mannered too.

We swapped scary fan stories for a while. He won hands down.

Wait... Toby is THAT old now? Huh... wow. I mean he's not OLD... just older than my brain was having him, because I keep forgetting that the 80's were 20 years ago. I don't sem to forget that I'm 30... just that 30 means... well... 30.

Yep. He turned 21 while in the US two years ago and got taken out on a bar tour of New York.

Heh--I wonder if he remembers any of the filming.

[identity profile] puppetmaker40.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
We asked him that and he says honestly no because he can't sort out what he might have seen at the time and what he has seen since then because he watched the film.

Dear heavens, he still has the cheeks and the curls!
