"Yes, I’m still a man."
Shane Warne is not ashamed at being labelled a metrosexual. He’s masculine enough for Elizabeth Hurley.

“I don’t know what Liz saw in me.”

"SW does not wear eye makeup or have an ‘eye liner tattoo’ – his eyes were born that way!"

“Beauty is skin-deep.Hence, I’m returning my Estee Lauder products.”

What he said:
“It will be a shoot-out between both bowling attacks."
Shane Warne believes that the better bowling side will take the honours in the India versus England Test series, beginning on the 21st of July, 2011.
What he really meant:
“The faster and the more furious, the better.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“It’s the Wild West all over again. Hey, wait a second, was cricket played out there—then?”“…precious few have ever had a) any concept of how to go about it or, b) any awareness that, no matter how hard you try, you cannot dictate how you are remembered.”

MUMBAI—
Shane Warne has been offered the villain’s role in Dhoom3 by Yash Raj films.
The move comes as a surprise as Aamir Khan was initially signed on as the fresh, new villain in the series.
However, it is learnt that the Khan had a difference of opinion with Aditya Chopra about his role in the movie. He felt that his part was not meaty enough. The part has now gone to a man who has sworn off large portions of red meat.
