Bake Off’s Paul Hollywood left dangling in air as he becomes superhero for new project

Great British Bake Off star Paul Hollywood has been dangling in the air as he channeled his inner superhero.

The TV host appeared hoisted into the air for a flying scene for the commercial while wearing what looked like a Marvel Superhero costume. Paul flashed a subtle grin as he was snapped all bulked up in his costume.

In one picture, he can be seen flailing around on a harness after what looks like making a leap of faith. We aren’t clear what else will be included in the advert yet but it’s clear to say Paul will be a focal part of the action.

The TV host was dressed up in a bright red and blue outfit that could rival some of Hollywood’s most famous superheroes. However, this scene was shot in London not the Hollywood Hills.

This comes after Paul recently opened up about the impact fame has had on his personal life and how he has developed trust issues over time. In an interview with The Times, Paul opened up about being in the spotlight.

He said: “I don’t trust people anymore. I’m really wary of who gets close and I never used to be like that. In fact, I’m a hermit, whereas I used to be the life and soul of the party. I was always first down the bowling alley. But now quite often someone suggests going out and I’ll say, ‘Yeah, I’ll be there,’ and I don’t go.”

The star added: “There is no school that tells you how to deal with being in the public eye. And however much you think you’re not going to change, it’s impossible to stay the same. I defy anyone to do it.”

Back when Bake Off transferred from BBC to Channel 4, Paul was the only original member of the on-screen team to remain on the show. At the time, there were also reports claiming that his salary had been bumped up as a result.

Talking about this, he added: “I was called every name under the sun. It was so horrendous, I actually cried. No one wants to be painted as the pantomime villain, especially when I was just sticking with a job I loved. But you can’t kick against it.

“David Walliams actually took me aside and said, ‘Mate, it’s just a game. Enjoy it.’ You’re clickbait, basically. But it hurt me. After a while, though, I got tough. I just thought, ‘OK, I’ll be your bad guy’.”
