Manx actor Joe Locke has brought Island folk lore to the red carpet.
Locke was at the London Premiere of his show Agatha All Along when he was asked about superstitions.
The actor then spelt out R-A-T and said he had to touch wood if anyone said the word around him.
Locke is starring in the Marvel show with episodes coming out weekly.
