Cristians past... his DR breakdown makes sense now

[*mazedsalv**]

Very surprised this was not mentioned at all on his VT or by the press before, but this is on this site.

http://cristianmjc.com/biography/

Born in Blackburn England with a benign tumour on the left side of his head, he was raised in the village of Mellor near Blackburn. At the age of 3, he suffered from a rare disease known as Kawasaki’s Syndrome, which can be fatal. This caused total deafness in his left ear, which led to numerous hospital admissions and outpatient appointments.

The removal of the tumour left Cristian MJC with a large scar and combined with his deafness created problems with classmates and teachers who didn’t understand his deafness properly. This lead to him attending 4 primary schools in total.

After witnessing the death of both his maternal grandparents, and the effects ‘Meningitis’ had on his father, he became sure he wanted to study medicine and become a doctor. What fascinated him, was possessing the ability to alleviate the pain suffered by many, through his own personal skills.

People online were laughing at his breakdown and a few posters said (on DS) "Oh yeah, I'm sure you had a tough life". Never judge anyone. You don't know what someone has gone through. You can't assume someone has had an easy life based on how they act, they look etc...

[Firewire]

Surprised he didn't use this a sob story, that's respectable tbh. Very sad story.

[Rob!]

Wow.

Tbh he'd have done himself a few favours if this had been mentioned, because at the minute he looks like a bit of a cock.

[Jemal]

What a guy, I'll always defend him on here :worship:

[Jason.]

What a guy, I'll always defend him on here :worship:

Same.
I think people are too quick to judge. Especially on DS.

[Mystic Mock]

Well done to him for not using it unlike some contestants that shall remain nameless.

[Gusto Brunt]

Liked him from the word go.

Glad I wasn't one of those who made fun of his diary room breakdown. :)

[jyunga]

It's his own website though... you don't think anything in there is exaggerated to help drive his music career?

[*mazedsalv**]

Why would he make something that up? That's ridiculous.

I agree, some people clearly are blinded though.:joker:

[RichardG]

There is no exaggeration in that bio, just facts, and I doubt he would make something like that up. :laugh:

[y.winter]

I did wonder about his scar.
It's sad to read about his past, I give him credit for not using it in his VT.
I think he's trying to compensate over it by working out and proving himself in so many ways to be "one of the group" - so he got frustrated when it seemed not to work. I think he'd better off losing all of this and not trying too hard to impress (that's however why I didn't warm to him) - it will be then when he'll really shine.
Good luck to him with that.

[andybigbro]

That's such a shame! It's great he's overcome such troubles.

I wonder if he'll ever let the other housemates know.

[Vanessa]

Awwwwwwww! :bawling::hug:

:clap1: well said!

[bots]

With respect, many people overcome disabilities in their lives. He clearly doesn't want it to be an influencing factor, so why should anyone else try to make it one

True, but it doesn't stop those sob stories on X Factor and BGT. So my respect is there that he didn't mention it in the VT to garner up sympathy.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

aww :(

[Vanessa]

This makes me love him even more. :love:

[AnnieK]

Obviously he doesn't want it to define him....fair play to him. :love:

[Shaun]

Poor guy :love:

[Vanessa]

Obviously he doesn't want it to define him....fair play to him. :love:

i wonder if he has mentioned any of this in the House.

[Drew.]

Poor bloke

[Jemal]

It does say alot about him not to use it in his VT.
I always did wonder what that scar was

[Trasadkel1]

Credit to him. He has had a tough life by the sound of it.

[Natalie.]

Wondered where the scar was from

[Kazanne]

I like Christian,he may have good looks but he does seem a bit insecure,i think he is quite likable from what I have seen.

[Vanessa]

There's more to him than his looks, but he has his guard up all the time.

[Jason.]

There's a similar thread about this on DS, and the comments over there are just careless and nasty.

People making jokes, and one member even said they wanted his tumor in their ass. Disgusting.

DS can be really shocking sometimes. But ironically he's actually quite popular in there. :laugh:

[icecakes]

He seems lovely,why all the hate for him,dont get it,although its mainly males who dont like him.

[Vanessa]

Jealousy. :hehe:

[icecakes]

Jealousy. :hehe:

lol thats what I was thinking

[Lostie!]

Jealousy. :hehe:

I'm not a Cristian fan and it's nothing to do with jealousy. I don't see why I'd be jealous tbh. :shrug:

[Vanessa]

lol thats what I was thinking

He really is stunning looking, but has a good personality as well. What a great combination! :love:

[fitz2k2]

that explains that scar on his left head

[Heaven = Winner]

That's awful </3

[Smithy]

that explains that scar on his left head

I wonder what the scar on his right head is though :think:

[mizzy25]

I haven't even noticed a scar. hes absoltuly gorgeous looking and also has an amazing body. I can see him and Nick becoming firm friends .

[bots]

I don't have anything against the guy, he has grown on me a bit since the opening day or 2. I think his insecurities relate to his position currently hiding in the closet

[Vanessa]

I was thinking possibly bisexual, but i like that he's insecure. Makes a change from the usual over confident lads we get on this show.

[Jason.]

He really is stunning looking, but has a good personality as well. What a great combination! :love:

And he's intelligent.

Looks, personality, and intelligence.

I'm a straight male, so his looks do nothing for me. He is a good looking guy, though. He's hot.

[Vanessa]

He can be my toyboy anytime. :blush:

Phone number, please! :dance:

[Jason.]

Phone number, please! :dance:

Against TIBB rules, I'm afraid.
:joker:

[Vanessa]

Against TIBB rules, I'm afraid.
:joker:

I meant i need Christian's number. :blush2:

[Jason.]

I meant i need Christian's number. :blush2:

I know. I was joking.

[Jason.]

I hope we see more of him.
Danny's getting all the screen time for being thick. Piss off Danny.

[zakman440]

Poor guy. I'm still not a fan of him but what an awful thing to happen.

[Vanessa]

I know. I was joking.

:hee:

[Vanessa]

Poor guy. I'm still not a fan of him but what an awful thing to happen.

I love that he hasn't played on it to get votes.

[Jason.]

I love that he hasn't played on it to get votes.

I agree.

Respect.

[Vanessa]

I agree.

Respect.

I'm hoping he will open up to Nick eventually. They seem to get on well.

[Jason.]

I'm hoping he will open up to Nick eventually. They seem to get on well.

Yeah. I really like their friendship.

Nick's lovely.

[Vanessa]

Yeah. I really like their friendship.

Nick's lovely.

Nick seems to be the only one who gets Christian.

[icecakes]

I don't have anything against the guy, he has grown on me a bit since the opening day or 2. I think his insecurities relate to his position currently hiding in the closet

:hug:

[Jason.]

Nick seems to be the only one who gets Christian.

Yeah. I found it very telling, when he was the only one sticking up for him last night.

[Vanessa]

Yeah. I found it very telling, when he was the only one sticking up for him last night.

Awwww, Nick is lovely. :love:

[Razor]

Anyone know what newspaper wrote about him and which girl he was taking about when he mentioned not having enough money to keep up with her?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

stephanie davis

[Vanessa]

Not sure, but it was Stephanie Davies, i think from Hollyoaks.

[Razor]

Cheers Vanessa and Rose

[Vanessa]

At least he has good taste in women. Stephanie. :flutter:

[Jason.]

She plays Sinead from Hollyoaks.

[rusticgal]

I was taken by his breakdown in the diary room.. I felt that he had a vulnerability and past issues that we're going to surface...and that now makes sense.
So often good looking characters have little personality...but he seems so fragile in many ways.
He hasn't given anyone a clue to what he has been through...he hasn't used this as a 'sympathy vote'....and for that he has gone up in my estimations.
Fair play to him.....and I hope this works for him and that he finds himself in the house. I think he is desperate to be accepted but he needs to drop his guard and just be himself.

This.

[Will.]

still don't like him, if he stops pretending he's a celeb and is less arrogant and cocky, I might like him.

Very sad past though.

..I can completely understand that he wouldn't have mentioned it, I had something similar in that I had a benign brain tumour..as an adult though not as a child and also have some difficulties in fully hearing with the surgeries...I don't think it's something that you ever want to define you in any way because it was never something that you had control/choice over..it's not like...oh I did this and I did that and aren't I a lovely person so please don't evict me because these things just happen to you..and it's often a lose/lose thing anyway and probably for him and how he feels in that without saying it then the public would view him on 'surface' and he may seem vain etc and quite shallow..and if he did say these things about his past, it would be ..sob story...people will judge anyway and especially on BB because that's what it's meant to be and I think even with the 'sad' stuff/sad stories/pasts etc...although he's had some grim and sad times..?..he probably also doesn't want it to define him in a 'sympathy' way either because it's kind of the 'worst/most negative' things in our lives that can in a way become the most positive because of what you take from them so doesn't want to be thought of as 'poor guy' ..and one of the things that I've thought with him is that already in conversations he's asked other housemates about themselves and seemed genuinely interested in them and their lives and maybe in their pasts/their stories as well and many housemates just want to talk about themselves more than learn about the others so I think he's far from a 'shallow' person but maybe if he hadn't experienced these things in his life, then maybe that's what he would be more..?....so he probably doesn't see it as having a sad story at all...

[Gusto Brunt]

I don't understand the 'hate' for Cristian.

He's a good looking man, and probably get better looking as he ages.

He seems a nice guy. Not big-headed at all. AND extremely shy. :eek:

[chuff me dizzy]

Good lad, but I will have more respect for him if he gets to finals night without mentioning it

[cookiemonster]

i haven't noticed a scar or a DR breakdown? clearly haven't been paying much attention

Is there a date this was put online ?

[bots]

Its on his own site and the last update date is December 2013

[Jemal]

i do kind of think he should mention, so people know who the real him is.
On the other hand, i don't want him to come across as a sob story user because even though he hasn't already mentioned it in BB or in his VT people on here and on DS that already hate him will find a way too get on his back about it.

Its not coming across that it is putting him at a disadvantage in his interactions with other house mates. If he mentions it (like the Danny wedding) it comes across badly in my opinion. The voting public will have far more respect for him if he keeps quiet.

With Sam, there was an obvious hearing disability, but again, he didn't use it for sympathy, he just got on with it.

[uniquedude]

Every housemate has their haters and for all we know they could have gone through just as bad things, Helen could have had the worst childhood ever but people are still gonna hate. Just saying.

Props to him for not bringing it up for sympathy but everyone in the house has their own story.

[chuff me dizzy]

IF he keeps his past to himself the entire series I will have respect for him,but its early days, he's already dripped it in the diary room,and no doubt first time he's up the rest will be used

I disagree with your point about Sam. Sam played the deaf card way too much. Especially on live feed, when he was talking to Gina about how he wanted to be a Pete Bennett, towards deaf people, like how Pete is to people with Tourettes, and that he wanted the public to like him, etc.

He also played up with the fact he couldn't hear Emma on eviction nights on the tannoy, and things like that. Always feeling sorry for himself.

I for one didn't buy it, because he clearly heard his name being called out and the boos he got, but he pretended to hide it.

[Daniel-X]

Some housemates would try and use this to make the public feel sorry for a them. Glad he's not used it and gone in there and been himself I'm really warming to him these past couple of days I just hope he steers clear from Danny because when he's with him he's an idiot.

[GypsyGoth]

It's not that much of a sob story, it wouldn't even qualify him for the paralympics.

[QueenCharley]

Fair enough he's had it tough but who knows what the others have gone through too?

A lot of people have had battles with their demons or a string of unfortunate events, it'll unfold in the weeks to come.

In saying that, hope Cristian gets to share a bit about this, it might show a better side to him.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Sad thing is he will be nominated aswell.

[jennyjuniper]

I know I'm an old cynic, BUT when he came out of the diary room, he immediately took off his sunglasses and there were no sign of tears.
If his bio is accurate, then good on him for overcoming adversity when he was young, but that cocky front of his has to disappear if he's to stand any chance of winning the public over.

You do realise that big brother is edited.
So for all we know he could of stayed in the diary room for like an hour for his tears to dry lol.

[susie q]

Credit to him. He has had a tough life by the sound of it.

Yes indeed credit to him. Hes one that I dont feel very strongly about one or the other at the moment, so I wouldnt mind if he stayed for a while to see how he settles down.

[Vanessa]

I think he's lovely. He's so laid back he's starting to remind me of Chicken Stu. :laugh:

[reece(:]

Massive kudos on not using it as a sob story.

[jennyjuniper]

In that case he would have removed his sunglasses before he left the diary room. After all BB did ask him to remove them.

[Ammi]
