From Lakeside to Hollywood

The spit of him so he is

It’s been a fairly eventful few days for Scott Mitchell. He finally managed to win the BDO World Darts Championship last weekend and now he’s gone and revealed that he’s been mixing with Hollywood royalty and nobody even knew.

The Bournemouth native has been helping Johnny Depp and Billy Bob Thornton to  ‘get their oche on’ ahead of new film ‘London Fields’.

The film has a host of top stars involved including Amber Heard, Jim Sturgess and Cara Delevingne and is due to be released later this year

Mitchell was asked to be a coach to the two American actors for various scenes involving darts in the film and is proud to say that his arm has made the final cut ‘He(Depp) does throw darts in the film but when they hit where they are going, I have thrown them. I am a bit of a body double, stunt double, whatever you want to call it. Of course, we look alike.

Of course you do Scott.
