Andrew Lloyd Webber has revealed he has never watched any of his TV shows or even seen himself on the small screen.
Lloyd-Webber, 61, is about to search for an unknown to play Dorothy in 'The Wizard Of Oz', following the success of TV shows to find leads for 'The Sound Of Music', 'Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat', and 'Oliver!'.
But he told the Radio Times: "I have never seen myself on television. I never watch myself."
Lloyd-Webber, whose latest musical 'Love Never Dies' has received mixed reviews, also told the magazine that he had an inkling that something was not right before he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He said: "I did know that something was very odd. When I finished the recording of the (Love Never Dies) album I thought I should have the tests done and be checked out.
"I didn't know I had the cancer but I did have a funny feeling that something was wrong. I didn't articulate it like that. I didn't think, 'I must get it out of me.' Nothing showed up on the tests. It was only later, when the biopsy was done..."
The composer, who is now "in the clear", said: "They did some tests last week and nothing is showing up. Once you've had something like this you go every six months.
"Getting your continence back happens pretty quickly. I swim quite a lot. I didn't find that difficult. Sex drive does take a while to come back but, frankly, I've had five children, so in my case it's probably not a bad idea!"
He said: "The most important thing is my children have a father and my wife has a husband. In a way it's Madeleine I'm more worried about than me."
