Vinnie Jones' reveals political aspirations

Screen hardman Vinnie Jones believes he would make the perfect politician because he came from a humble background before finding fame on the soccer pitch and in Hollywood.

Despite his lowly beginnings, the X-Men: The Last Stand actor is a staunch supporter of the British Conservative Party, and hopes leader David Cameron will one day ask him to stand for election as a Member of Parliament (MP).

He says: "I'm a Conservative but I talk for the ordinary working classes. I get on with the boys at the pub but I can also mix with Prince Andrew.

"I understand both levels. The toffs haven't lived in council estates, they've just known big mansions. How can they understand how the postman feels? I would never say no to becoming an MP."
