Rosey Grier, immortalized in needlepoint: - and by my own hands to boot! If anyone would have told me that I would go from football to needlepoint, I would have laughed in their face. In fact, the whole thing started as a joke, but it's turned into one of the most enjoyable and satisfying things I've ever done. I try to turn other guys on to needlepoint wherever I go -- from the dude sitting next to me on a plane to the guy working behind the scenes on a movie set. 'Smile all you want,' I tell them, 'but if you try it once, you'll keep coming back for more', and that's the truth brother. (via waxy)

If a guy that big wanted me to try it, I'd try it.

But what about Ray Milland's head on Rosey's shoulder, poo-poohing the whole idea?
