Um, I guess? I haven't seen that movie for a long time.
I'd guess not. That scene is branded onto my eyeballs for the sheer awkwardness he suddenly sprouts and the way his hands flap uselessly and the ends of his bent arms. He's done decently with the soccer ball all movie, and now complete klutz. Killed what should have been a marvellous moment for me.

Heh. Now I want to watch it again! I don't remember that at all.
He's considerably more graceful in
The Tudors!

That's awesome. He's channeling Kermit.
Are you counting that final running scene in Bend It Like Beckham?
Hee. The fact that I still manage to find him hot is proof of something.
I found this from the link interesting:
His role on Gormenghast as the self-serving cruel Steerpike, earned Jonathan’s character this fitting description: “His body gave the appearance of being malformed but it would be difficult to say exactly what gave it this gibbous quality. Limb by limb, it appeared that he was sound enough, but the sum of these several members accrued to an unexpectedly twisted total. “
Dammit, now I'm mad I missed
Gormenghast....
It's on DVD.
Ooh, I almost forgot that I live in an age where entertainment is recorded for people to play back later. Huzzah!
I'll also note that Peake's original illustrated draft is amazing.
