Peter Kay Turns Down Netflix Offer After Receiving Unusual Gift: The Air Fryer Story
Peter Kay recently revealed that he declined a significant offer from Netflix after they sent him an unusual gift. The renowned comedian, known for his work on the iconic TV show Phoenix Nights, is currently on tour. Netflix approached him to discuss licensing the series for their platform, but it was the peculiar gift they sent that made him reconsider the deal. During an appearance on Capital Breakfast, Peter shared the story of how Netflix sent him an air fryer in an attempt to persuade him. Despite his gratitude, he ultimately decided to turn down the offer.
Peter explained that Netflix contacted him last year to inquire about licensing Phoenix Nights for their platform. However, he found the content of the show to be outdated in today's context. Despite the laughter that ensued as he recounted the story, Peter was not swayed by the gift of an air fryer. He humorously mentioned that he would have preferred a Ninja air fryer instead of the Phillips one he received.
In addition to discussing the Netflix offer, Peter also mentioned that he has already written a film adaptation of Phoenix Nights. However, he expressed concerns about using makeup to de-age the actors for flashback scenes in the film. He emphasized the importance of realistic de-aging technology to accurately portray the characters' younger selves. Once his tour concludes, Peter plans to explore the possibilities of utilizing advanced de-aging technology for the film.
