Sheen/Lennon

Earlier today I pointed out how funny Michael Sheen is in the new sitcom Staged; now I read he's returning  his OBE to the Queen:

Michael Sheen has returned an honor presented to him by Queen Elizabeth so he could air his views on the British monarchy without appearing like a "hypocrite."  The Welsh star, who was given an Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2009 for services to drama, said in an online interview that he decided to give up the honor after conducting research into the history of Wales and its torturous relationship with England, particularly the centuries-old practice of handing the title of Prince of Wales to the heir apparent to the English throne, for the 2017 Raymond Williams Society lecture.

Of course the most famous instance of this is John Lennon returning his MBE, and no matter how many times I read it, exactly one of his reasons gets a genuine LOL every time.
