He then laughed it off, he was still down to earth but he had lost a lot of weight & had short blonde hair. He still
    looked ok though, we were both with our partners when I met him. We chatted for ages so he’s very friendly & didn’t mind chatting to random fans just walking past & saying hi 👋🏼 you rock Stan 👍😊
