Rob Brydon: 'I stole Catherine Zeta-Jones's lunch money'

Rob Brydon has recalled that he once stole Catherine Zeta-Jones's lunch money when they were both children.
The Trip star revealed that he was once tasked with delivering money to Zeta-Jones when they were both attending Dumbarton House School in Wales, but inadvertently ended up spending the cash instead.
Brydon told BBC News: "When I was 10 or 11 or 12, I was going into school one day and Catherine's mother said, 'I've forgotten to give Catherine her lunch money, will you give it to her?' I said I would.
"I went to the shop to get my lunch and then went to buy sweets. I bought pineapple chunks or cola cubes and I thought I had a lot of money, then realised it was money for Catherine."
Brydon admitted that he never really got to know Zeta-Jones as a kid, adding that she didn't even remember him when they met again as adults.
"I didn't know her but I remember her - she was always dancing or performing in things," the comic remembered. "I met her briefly once at the BAFTAs and congratulated her, but I'm sure she wouldn't have a clue who I was. I've spent four minutes in her company."
Brydon recently told Digital Spy that he's unsure if he'll reunite with Steve Coogan and director Michael Winterbottom for another series of The Trip.
