Paul John Hollywood (born 1 March 1966) is an English baker and celebrity chef, best known for being a judge on the BBC One's ''The Great British Bake Off'' alongside Mary Berry since 2010. He has worked as a baker since taking up the career at his father's bakery as a teenager and has gone on to become head baker at a number of hotels around Britain. After returning from working in Cyprus, Hollywood began appearing in guest spots on a number of British television programmes on both BBC and ITV. ==Biography== Paul John Hollywood was born in 1966 in Wallasey, Wirral, the son of bakery proprietor, John F.

Harman;〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/featuredarticles/2015/who-do-you-think-you-are/paul-hollywood-248/ )〕 his grandfather was head baker at The Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool.〔 He was a pupil at The Mosslands School. Hollywood studied sculpture at the Wallasey School of Art, but quit the course to start work as a baker. He first worked in his father's bakery in York (the headquarters of a chain called Bread Winner which eventually stretched all the way down the east coast from Aberdeen to Lincolnshire) and then in other bakeries on Merseyside. He eventually went on to become head baker at a number of hotels, including The Dorchester, Chester Grosvenor and Spa and the Cliveden Hotel. He then left the UK for Cyprus, where he worked at two resorts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://goodfood.uktv.co.uk/people/paul-hollywood/ )〕 Hollywood has appeared in guest spots on a number of television programmes, including BBC One's ''The Generation Game'', ''The Heaven and Earth Show'' and ITV's ''This Morning''〔 and ''The Alan Titchmarsh Show''. Since the show launched in 2010, Hollywood has been a judge on the BBC2 programme ''The Great British Bake Off''. In this capacity, he has been described as the "antidote" to judges such as Len Goodman or Simon Cowell in other reality TV programmes, on account of his straightforward and honest manner and because his judging is restricted purely to the finished product. His partnership with Mary Berry has been described in ''The Guardian'' as being the "secret weapon" of the show and potentially one of the best judging combinations to have appeared on reality TV. Hollywood ran his own artisanal baking business based in Aylesham, Kent, which supplied stores such as Harrods and Waitrose but closed this in 2013 due to his increasing media commitments.〔 The Gourmand World Cookbook Awards named his 2005 book ''100 Great Breads'' as the "Top Bread and Pastry Book" for that year.〔 In 2008, Hollywood created an almond and roquefort sourdough recipe that was said to be the most expensive bread in Britain.〔 The roquefort is supplied from a specialist in France at £15 per kilo, while the flour for the bread is made by a miller in Wiltshire. Hollywood describes it as a "Rolls-Royce of loaves". Hollywood is a guest speaker at several food festivals, including the Cumbrian Food Festival, and the BBC Good Food Show and the Cake and Bake Show, both in London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbcgoodfoodshow.com/paul-hollywood )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thecakeandbakeshow.co.uk/star-speakers/paul-hollywood/ )〕 In May 2013, Hollywood began appearing as a judge on ''The American Baking Competition'' on CBS. Hollywood has also starred in ''Sadie J'', a children's television programme. In 2013, he presented "Paul Hollywood's Bread" on BBC Two, in which he gave advice on recipes for different types of bread; however, also featured on the series were recipes for some cakes such as the Danish pastry. He also presented in ''Paul Hollywood's Pies and Puds'', a cookery television series on BBC One. In August 2015 Hollywood was featured on the BBC genealogy documentary series ''Who Do You Think You Are?''. The programme revealed that his grandfather Norman Harman, who served in the army during World War II, saw action in the Tunisia Campaign and at the Battle of Anzio and that his great-great-grandfather, Kenneth MacKenzie, had been a policeman in the City of Glasgow Police in the 1850s. Hollywood's great-great-great-grandfather, Donald MacKenzie, had been a crofter in Poolewe, Wester Ross. Donald had also been the post-runner between Poolewe and Dingwall, where he delivered post on foot over a distance of .
