Sir Patrick Stewart is by most accounts an hilarious and delightful person to be around. He was recently involved in quite the spate with his Shakespearean-actor colleague, Thomas Middleditch. I’m not entirely certain what set off the row, but Thomas was the first to fire a (rather unintelligible) shot:
It took Sir Patrick about a week to respond (perhaps because he didn’t even notice to begin with), but then it was off to the races:
The insults became more and more sophisticated:
The two soon discovered the joys of Photoshop, and went to town creating scenarios for their heated feud. On Stewart’s part, he painted Thomas as “Middlebitch,” his personal servant:
Car Washer Middlebitch
Personal Chef Middlebitch
Smells-of-Farts Middlebitch
Hedge-Trimming Middlebitch
Wood-Chopping Middlebitch
Middleditch, for his part, painted Sir Patrick as “Sir Fatrick Poowart,” a doddering oldie-olson on the brink of inevitable death:
Not-Long-Now Stewart
Sir Fatrick
There was also this miscellaneous insult:
Poowart
Things seem to have cooled down as of this week, though, which is a minor shame. It’s always a joy when two people with such obvious affection for each other decide to publicly delight each other and us by extension.
Even Lower, Middlebitch.
