VIDEO: This short interview with the 1990s Ronald McDonald is absolutely brilliant

'Like any superhero, he's ready at a moment's notice — Ronald can appear.'

Did you know only a handful of men have ever played fast food salesman and arguable childhood icon Ronald McDonald? Just nine have been the Big Clown himself - including Joe Maggard.

Maggard played Ronald between 1995 and 2007, before being replaced by the current actor. The Guardian produced this six-minute web documentary on Maggard's life after the make-up, and it's fascinating.
