Tony Hawks: 'I get ten emails a week for Tony Hawk'
Comedian Tony Hawks has been explaining how he replies to emails intended for the skateboarder, Tony Hawk. Hawks told Adrian Goldberg: 'I'm actually Tony Hawks with an 's', he's Tony Hawk without, but I still get 10 emails a week asking me to do a 909 or an ollie.'
Hawks added: 'I've started replying, as him, but an unexpected him, so I say "If you spent less time skateboarding and more time paying attention to punctuation these errors wouldn't happen."
Hawks revealed he doesn't have anything against Hawk as a person: 'I think he's a nice guy,' he said. 'I think he does a lot of good work for charity, judging by the mail that comes my way, he does open a lot of skate parks.'
