Education: St. Wilfred's school

azure-colored hair (can look different; sometimes it is purple from the way you look at it) and high-pitched voice.

Eye color: Black (2 dents as his eyes..)

Height: 6 feet, 2 inches

Personality: Innocent, trusting, not terribly bright, certainly accident-prone, and irresponsible. Many fans have thought that he is gay but he has never shown any sign of fancying other men, he did say he loved murdoc in an interview in the apex tapes but that is more admiration for murdoc than actually fancying him. A lot of fans believe that he is either bisexual or bicurious. He suffers from migraines and because of the fact that his mother was a nurse when he was younger, he was given access to vast amounts of painkillers to stop his headaches. After the numerous beatings from murdoc, these began to get worse and so he became addicted to painkillers.
N

2-D is his nickname, which refers to the dents on his head obtained from two vehicular accidents involving Murdoc's car; Stu-Pot (short-form of his given name, Stuart Pot)

Hobbies/outside interests:
likes playing video games (has a particular fondness for widescreen Pong) and watching zombie films and Napoleon Dynamite.
Crushes: He has said in interviews that he likes Jane Birkin.



Artist Biography
2D (or 2-D, both spellings are used in official releases)'s real name is Stuart Pot, and his nickname before he was in the band was Stu-Pot. His previous family name was 'Tusspot,' but it was officially shortened to just 'Pot.' He was born and raised in Hertfordshire, England but moved to Crawley, West Sussex, because of a lawsuit that was being brought against him by his classical piano teacher Ivana Abramovitch for breaking her hand [source: Gorillaz XFM Takeover]. As revealed in the official band biography number one (see the band section) he used to work in Uncle Norm's organ emporium before he was famous, and it was there that he suffered an injury when Murdoc ram-raided the shop in an attempt to steal equipment to form his new band. This left one dent on his head, and left him in a deep catatonic state. As part of Murdoc's sentence for the attempted robbery he had to care for Stu-Pot for a certain amount of time, and during this time he injured Stu-Pot again, giving him another dent on the head (hence the name 2-D, short for 'two dents'). The injuries also fractured his eyeballs, and pushed them inward into his head (hence the black eyes). However this second injury brought him out of his state of paralysis, but definitely affected his psychology, in that it made him (even?) more vacant. He also gets terrible headaches, probably related to the injuries, and is most likely addicted to painkillers because of this. In the Gorillaz he sings lead vocals and plays keyboards. 2-D used to go out with Rachel Stevens (of S Club7 fame) for a short while, but Murdoc kept trying to hit on Rachel and in the end it broke them up [source: Celebrity Take Down DVD]. Rachel Stevens wasn't the only girl that Murdoc drove away from 2D. Paula, who used to be in the Gorilla(their band name was Gorilla after Paula left Kong and after Noodle came) was 2D's girlfriend for a time, and she left the band shortly after this photo was taken, due to 'a rather sticky incident involving Murdoc and her in the studio toilets(stall 3 infact) (resulting in Russel punching Murdoc in the face so hard that he broke his nose in about 5 places)' [source: Dr.Wurzel's website]. When 2-D first went to the US in Summer 2001 he met Adam Yauch from the Beastie Boys in New York and was influenced to start promoting the 'Free Tibet' campaign (wearing a 'Free Tibet' tshirt at The Brits, and joining silent protests outside the Chinese embassy in London, redecorated his room). 2D apparently [according to the Noodle blast] messed around with a lot of girls during his time off. The start of Phase Two sees him wielding knives and flicking cigarettes in interviews, whilst using a number of swearwords to describe entries in the 'Search For A Star' contest... a new direction for the previously dopey 2D?
