...large steak, a bowl of fruit salad, several bowls of tea with cream. When not in training he drinks as many as three bottles of champagne at a sitting, eats twice as many grapefruit, breakfasts on cornflakes which he prefers to pulverize by wrapping them up in a bath-towel and pounding the towel on the floor. Friendly, sociable, he likes to frighten the patrons of cabarets with his ferocious grin.
