The gentle giant Harry Uzoka is a lovely, calm human being. Which is one of the reasons why India Hobson instantly took a shine to him when shooting for the first book (available here). This shine was enough for us to give him a 6 page spread in 'Closer'.
As soon as India met him to shoot around his own home, he presented the book 'The Alchemist' to her. She learned that this book fuels his thoughts and there-fore his actions. Throughout the day, he texted his girlfriend Leomie and tweeted using his IPad, to which India discovered he loves more then sweets!
Extracts from Harry's story "Not Yet Written"
"We'd been talking about holidays, and I've spent all my summer travelling across Europe - where as Harry has always holiday'd in Manchester. He has family there and has never been abroad. The place he most wants to go in all the world is Egypt. And to prove his Mak-tub theory, we saw no less than 17 adverts from the tourist board of Egypt. And so it is written. (India Hobson)
"I believe in signs. I always tweet about this thing called 'Mak-tub' and it means 'it is written' and I really like that - it's like, that's the way something is supposed to be." (Harry Uzoka)
