Sitting at a desk in the Newcastle school, he often was asleep in the class, unaware that the teacher for few minutes looks directly at him. Classmates called him "an alien". Rowan, in school, he was considered as a fool. He was terribly naive: If someone tells him, for example, that his whole back is white – he will take his clothes like ten times a day. The only one in class who did not laugh at him, was a serious boy named Tony Blair. More than anything, Rowan wanted to be like everyone else, but he could not. It's good that the teacher quickly got used to his involuntary expressions. Moreover, for achievements in physics and mathematics, he was sent to Oxford at the Faculty of Engineering. There he became acquainted with Richard Curtis, a student activist in the theater.
