Anyway, just ask human cannonball, Diego Zeman. He grew up around circus performers and started training when he eight. “I was born into the circus and started with the trapeze and high wire,” he says. Moving on to the job of human cannonball was therefore an obvious next step.
But more tellingly, in this interview with the BBC, Diego said “I always feel nervous”.
Softie.
