This clip of Ross Kemp facing down a guy who pulled a gun on him is jaw-dropping stuff
You might have seen the Ross Kemp clip that’s gone viral after the former EastEnder tried Spice in his new prison documentary for ITV.
The clip prompted composer, musician and all-round Twitter good guy @MrNickHarvey to share another clip from 5 years ago which he reckons is even more extraordinary. And he reckons right.
A lot of people are sharing the Ross Kemp on spice video, but I’ve worked on a number of his documentaries over the years, and this clip, when a gun was pulled on him in Papua New Guinea, is even more extraordinary. pic.twitter.com/y8ADCRhJoD

We take it all back, Ross, we really do.
Jesus Christ!

Props to the camera and boom operator still going about their jobs.

I mean it’s good, but I still think my tactic of sobbing uncontrollably and soling myself would be equally effective.

If the camera hadn’t been there it would have been an anecdote no one would have believed!

Kemp later said of the incident, which featured in his – Google, Google – Extreme World documentary series:
“You know if you get down on your hands and knees, you’re going to become a victim. What they’re going to do… you just don’t know. I don’t know to this day if they were going to hurt us. Or if they were just testing us, testing our mettle to see if we’d capitulate, and because we didn’t, we earned respect I think.”
Although some people still didn’t believe it.
That was so obviously staged, I cringed.

Tough crowd. Not as tough as Kemp though.
