Stevenson speaking of the experience "I've tried the suit on, and what they've done is kind of sex him up: he's sort of slimmer but rounder, he's got every bit of that Falstaffian verve and vigor, and a bit of a beer gut to suggest that enormous appetite, but he's not the sort of Weeble-shaped figure he is in the comics. He's Falstaff with muscles. I've got this amazing foam-injected undersuit that flexes with me"
