During the height of Supergrass' fame around 1995, Coombes received offers from "Italian Vogue" and most notably, "Calvin Klein",[REF][REF] to model for them in their ad campaigns and magazine publications, as well as an offer from Steven Spielberg to make a Monkees-style TV show of the band.
In 1999, Coombes made an appearance on the "Da Ali G Show" and played the Supergrass song "Sun Hits the Sky", whilst having to deal with Ali G 'remixing' it as he performed.
