We asked Chris who he’d like to have dinner with – past or present and this was his response – “George Orwell. I’d value his insights. Roger Waters from Pink Floyd would be a very close second (highly opinionated, talented and funny). I’m married but if I was single there is a whole other list….” That might just be more information than we need!
