Transcript
Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00Hello, it's me, Louis Theroux, here to inform you that I'm back with a new series of my podcast, the Louis Theroux Podcast. Join me again on Tuesdays as I sit down with a smorgasbord of remarkable people from all walks of life, such as movie legend Willem Dafoe. Some guys got on the train and they were looking at me and whispering among each other and they looked rough so I thought, oh man, I'm going to get robbed. And then one looked at the other and he says, yeah, it's got to be him. Nobody looks like that mother****. Pop sensation Jade Thirlwall. It can be really lonely when you're that huge.
0:35You can't really say to your mate who works in Tesco out of having a really bad time at work. Like, how can you moan about a dream like that? Culinary icon, Jamie Oliver. Every book I write now goes through cultural appropriation specialists. Does it? Yeah, but ultimately through a bloody cookbook, I don't want to offend anyone. Actor and figure of some controversy, Armie Hammer. Is it a**hole behaviour? Absolutely. Does it make me a d**k? Absolutely. I have no problem admitting that. I was a d**k. But that's not illegal. And many, many more. So watch the Louis Theroux podcast on Spotify or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
