Freddie Flintoff makes Shane Warne 'Benjamin Button' dig
Published Friday, Oct 7 2011, 10:57 BST | By Ryan Love | Add comment
Freddie Flintoff has taken a swipe at former Australian cricketer Shane Warne, comparing him to Benjamin Button.
Brad Pitt starred as the man who ages in reverse in the 2008 film, which was loosely based on a short story of the same name.
Flintoff made the dig on Sky1's A League of Their Own, which returns to the channel for a new series tonight at 10pm. Warne has attracted attention for his new youthful look, with some reports linking it to his relationship with actress Liz Hurley.
Ex-England cricketer Flintoff said of his former rival: "I saw him the other week and I don't know if you've seen that film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button? He's getting younger, isn't he?"
Demonstrating a small person with his hands, Flintoff quipped: "He's gonna end up about 80 in a nappy and about that big."
Meanwhile, tonight's episode also sees host James Corden admit to 'manscaping' his nether regions.
A League of Their Own returns to Sky1 tonight at 10pm.
