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.

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...

..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.

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.

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.

[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

[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.

....I love you so much...

[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.
