Things I am allergic to: people who believe in star signs and think nothing of starting a conversation with: 'Hi, my name's Lucy. I'm a Sagittarius;' rodents (apart from miniature hamsters, which are not in fact rodents but small, breathing, brown balls of cotton wool); and people who go to the gym.
I am allergic to fancy dress. This is actual fact.
I am allergic to sweating. Seriously I get in shape by lying down.
If I'm not doing the work I want, I usually suffer a psychological allergic reaction and get ill.
I'm allergic to dogs, so I couldn't even adopt what gay men typically adopt when they have that maternal gene.
No, I am not allergic to lemon, though fresh pineapple can pose problems.
Lie and tell the waiter that you're deathly allergic to butter. This way you can enjoy the steak without all the excess fat.
The only thing I'm allergic to is criticism.
One of the things I have an allergic reaction to playing, especially as a black actor, is the mandatory kind of best friend/cop/detective type. You will never see me in that movie.
My daughter couldn't care less about me being famous. She finds it revolting and, like a lot of teenagers, is virtually allergic to me. That started at 12 and hasn't gone anywhere yet.
