I noticed he had "Pacem in teris" tattooed on the inside of his left wrist. Which, from my rudimentary Latin, I know means "Peace on Earth".
So I thought that implied he had an idealistic kindly outlook... wishing for world peace is the sort of thing that Miss World candidates always say.
However, I didn't know that "Pacem in teris" was also the title of a papal encyclical by Pope John XXIII. (see Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacem_in_Terris))
And I read that apparently he attended St Cuthberts Catholic Community College in St Helens.
Anyway, I thought it was a rather unusual tattoo for a young guy to choose to have. Didn't think he looked to be the devout religious sort...?
Or I could be totally wrong. I haven't seen him say his prayers yet. :p
