Outkast: "it's a real leg"

Andre Benjamin, aka Andre 3000, one half of the successful hip hop band Outkast, has been attempting to put to bed some old rumours about him in a recent television interview.

Speaking on MTV's daily TRL show, he said: "That happened in '94 - somebody said the way I walk . . . one of my legs may be fake. But they're real, they're not wooden. I'm not Pinocchio boy!" (reported by Digital Spy)

So, prosthesis conoisseurs, why not check him out in forthcoming movie Four Brothers to see if his gait is consistent with that of a fleshy limbed fella, or indeed, if he is a disability bro fresh from the imagination of the worryingly broody fairy tale father, Gepetto.
