00:00As long as I can remember, I've wanted to sing, but it turned out not everybody loved
00:08the sound of my voice as much as my mum did, and I got teased and bullied.
00:12It was a seemingly endless drama full of singing and violence, kind of like an opera, the opera
00:20of my life.
00:33I knew you were mad for opera, but I didn't know you were completely psycho for it.
00:37There's an opera school that I'm saving up to go to in Venice.
00:41Have you signed up for the contest?
00:43£300 for the winner.
00:44What are you wearing?
00:46My God, he swallowed paparazzi!
00:51I'm actually here, opera school, in Venice.

01:26Right.
01:27What are you here for today, Paul?
01:32To sing opera.
01:33You've got to see this.
01:34Ready when you are.
01:35You know what you were put on this earth to do.
01:41You have an actual talent for singing.
01:46That was surprisingly exhilarating.
01:50You can be very proud of yourself.
01:56So you've shattered your collarbone, broken four ribs and dislocated your pelvis.
02:00You have got to stop doing this to me.
02:11You have got to stop doing this to me.
