Patrick Stewart is one of the UK's most respected actors, having spent nigh on a lifetime on our television screens as well as having a long career on the stage and the silver screen. But somehow, during all that time, he managed to avoid eating pizza. We'd never pegged him as a fussy eater...

Stewart tweeted a picture of himself chowing down on a slice in Brooklyn, where he's lived since 2012.

He tweeted: "My first ever pizza "slice". Please note: the authentic NY fold." Being Twitter, Stewart was almost instantly bombarded with questions asking how he possibly could have made it to this point of his life without eating a pizza.

"How did you make it this far without ever eating a slice? How'd you like it? The more of a dive the place is, the better the pizza", tweeted one fan.
