I read a story in Empire magazine when TPM came out about how Alec Guiness, after being approached by a young fan, boasting he'd seen star wars over 100 times, told to said fan to promise him one thing - never watch star wars again.
I think I read somewhere that he also suggested to the child's mother that she get him professional help. :-P
I've heard the story about the 20-pound note before and it struck me as funny. I have a feeling it was done in jest.
