LONDON — He’s gone to great lengths to shake off his once dour image, but a trip to Springfield is a step too far for British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Brown says he has no plans to follow predecessor Tony Blair in making a cameo appearance on Fox network’s “The Simpsons.”
Yeardley Smith, who provides the voice for the show’s Lisa Simpson — the gifted sister of delinquent Bart — has said she believed Brown should be invited to appear.
Blair recorded a voiceover for “The Simpsons” in 2003, starring in an episode in which the Simpson family visited Britain. Blair reportedly delivered his lines in a single take.
“I think Tony Blair did that. I don’t think that is for me,” Brown said Wednesday when asked if he would consider a cameo role.
