Did anyone else see this story about Lee's fellow ADWD contestant

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/news/a433181/any-dream-will-do-star-axed-from-panto-due-to-porn-career.html

It's in the Sun and the Daily Mail as well!

I hope Craig's acting has improved since ADWD:-

LINKY THING

I see Craig is interviewed in the Sun newspaper online again today.
He says he earns more money in his new career move and gets to spend more
time with his wife, which is fair enough, but in my personal opinion
I don't think this is a very wise move for him for his future career,
apparently his talent agent management have dropped him and I should
imagine it will be difficult for him to ever move on from this career
choice in the future.

The couple of photos they have printed are not very tasteful either.

I came across The Sun online article today Maggiemay. I didn't dare click on the video links embedded in it - definitely tmi!

This is probably the most publicity Craig had had since his ADWD days and I'm sure it won't do his new career in adult entertainment any harm at all! I think you're right, however, that it will be difficult for him to move back into mainstream theatre now. He seems happy enough anyway since the hours and the pay are good. Can't see that the new career will be a long-term choice though - it seems he's already fibbing about his age since he is apparently listed as 29 on his 'talent' agency's website but I seem to remember that during ADWD he was the same age as Lee who is now 31

I just read the interview...oh dear! "I Took Up Porn Roles So I Could Spend More Time With My Wife". I'm sure she really appreciates that, Craig!

Re: age - he's definitely 31 (same age as Lee). His birthday is a couple of months before Lee's.

Oh, dear. This sounds so dire, so tacky. His wife supports this decision? Really?

Blimey, it just gets more and more bizarre!

According to the article, Craig's wife's employers (in her 'day job') don't know she does adult movies. Well, they will now!

She might just be another getting her P45 on Monday!

Well, if they're both in the porn biz, that makes sense at least! Still kind of dire and tacky, but to each his own.

Yuk!!!!

Well I'm staggered. I wonder what Bil Kenwright has to say. Craig was featured as Mr Nice Guy and appeared with his then girlfriend with matching crucifixes. Though he had done gigs with some male stripper group!

Times must be hard if he has to do porn films to pay the bills. I wonder what the other Josephs are up to?

Yes I would like to know that,I wonder what Lewis is doing?

I don't think it's that times are hard - Craig had recently done a short run in a play and had the panto lined up for Christmas. He commented in one of the articles that porn pays more than a leading role in a touring production, so I think it's a case of doing it for the money rather than because there's no other work available. He strikes me as someone who likes the 'good life' (i.e. luxury holidays, nice car, designer clothes) but struggles to pay for all the luxuries on a stage actor's wage. Therefore, I don't have much sympathy for him on that score. He could easily have carried on with his stage career, but he just seems to want money and a luxury lifestyle.

AmandaF and Acer, of the Josephs I know about, Keith is still touring as Joseph (with occasional breaks), Daniel is about to be in a touring version of the film High Society (he has the Frank Sinatra role - good for him!), Anthony is understudying Raoul in Phantom and Lewis is .... er ... hairdressing!

Don't know about the others I'm afraid.

OK - here's what I can find on the others.

KEITH - 'Touring Joseph', then panto this Christmas (Playing Prince Charming in 'Cinderella' in Whitley Bay)

LEWIS - Qualified as a hairdresser in July. As far as I know, he's still auditioning for stuff.

BEN - Panto this Christmas (playing Jack in 'Jack & The Beanstalk' in Wolverhampton).

CRAIG - Porn!!!

DANIEL - Playing Captain Walker in a one-off concert performance of 'Tommy'. Starts tour of 'High Society' in January (playing Mike Connor).

ROB - Panto this Christmas (playing the prince in Snow White at King's Theatre, Portsmouth)

CHRIS B - Currently lead vocalist on cruise ship Equinox. Playing a lead role in the film 'The Dark Side' (filming starts in 2013).

SEAMUS - Been doing some vocal coaching in Chichester, was a 'Superstar' contestant (made top 20) in July. Unable to find anything after that.

JOHNDEEP - Unable to find any recent news. I did find three tracks by him (including 'Why God?') LINKY THING

CHRIS C - Unable to find any recent news.

Thanks for the updates Jo. Am surprised by the hairdressing move, I suppose it makes a change from waitering, while "resting".

Thanks Jo and A/Liz,very interesting they are doing ok

Ben has been in the touring show Dreamboats and Petticoats which I saw in Aylesbury at the beginning of october. He wasn't bad.
