He was one of the fastest bowlers when he was playing international cricket. Now that this Aussie has become an actor, Brett Lee still hasn’t forgotten the importance of line, length and the speed at which to give answers to the questions that the media hurls at him.

The cricketer has worked in an Australian film titled UNIndian which has just been released. When he was asked by an Indian journalist whether he has watched Bollywood films, he was quick to reply that he has and that his favourite actors are Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta.

Now, I’m not judging, but by the looks of it (and who his favourite actors are), Brett L still has a lot to learn about the art of acting.
