London
(ANI):
Anglo-Welsh
actor
and
ex-footballer
Vinnie
Jones
has
earned
the
support
and
backing
of
his
close
pal
film
director
Quentin
Tarantino
in
Celebrity
Big
Brother.
Jones,
45,
had
become
friendly
with
Tarantino,
46,
after
they
first
met
in
2007,
when
the
actor
invited
the
director
to
his
place
for
a
barbecue.
And
now
the
Oscar
winner
believes
that
his
neighbour
and
friend
will
definitely
come
out
the
winner
of
the
show.
“If
the
winner
is
judged
on
personality
and
character,
then
Vinnie
can
be
the
only
winner," the
Sun
quoted
Tarantino
as
saying.
“He
is
one
of
the
most
charismatic
guys
in
Hollywood
and
people
who
know
him
not
only
know
that
he
is
a
fantastic
person
but
that
he
has
a
heart
of
pure
gold.
I"m
honoured
to
call
him
my
friend,"
he
said.
Tarantino
also
believes
that
Jones
has
taken
on
the
challenge
of
CBB
for
all
the
right
reasons.
“People
often
put
themselves
forward
for
reality
shows
because
they
are
broke
or
want
to
revive
their
career,
but
Vinnie
is
neither
of
those
things,"
he
said.
“He
is
going
to
get
some
time
away
from
worrying
about
his
son
Aaron,"
he
said
of
Jones"
18-year-old
son,
who
is
now
serving
in
Afghanistan.
He
is
very
proud
of
not
only
Aaron
but
all
his
family,
but
like
any
other
father
he
worries
-
that
is
only
natural.
I
don"t
know
about
the
other
contestants,
but
Vinnie
Jones
is
a
real
superstar,"
he
added.
