1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,015
This program me contains very strong
language from the start
2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,175
This isn't bad. Now you're talking.
Pretty swanky, innit?
3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,535
This doesn't look like your case.
4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,455
Why would you have a little...?
5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,695
Is that a man bag?
6
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:12,735
Yeah. For real?
7
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:13,855
Yeah, for real.
8
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,855
I guess that is what... Try it on.
9
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,935
Go on. It's pretty sick.
10
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:19,975
What's that for?
11
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,775
That's a fucking hairbrush.
12
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,095
Don't do me dirty like that.
Pull it out.
13
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,815
Pull the whole thing out,
you rascal.
14
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,895
It's a...
15
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,535
So, yeah, this is my closet.
Can I put one on? Yeah.
16
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,495
Do you want to try my jacket?
Are you sure?
17
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,455
We won't take long,
because we've got to get downstairs.
18
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:37,095
They're waiting for us. Do you
want to do the interview in that?
19
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,135
I mean, I wouldn't mind,
but... It's pretty cool, actually.
20
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:41,975
Oh, wow.
21
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,295
My arms are maybe longer than yours?
Yeah. Is that possible? Probably.
22
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,575
I guess I'm a little taller.
It's pretty fucking cool, that.
23
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,935
So, this is pretty mental.
It's pretty heavy.
24
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,615
Oh, I love that.
25
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,055
But I'm too old to get away
with this. Oh, it's quite...
26
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,695
It's quite a tight one, that.
27
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,415
No, no, look, I dojoe Wicks.
28
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,335
I know you do!
29
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,855
I've seen your Instagram.
Have you?
30
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:01,935
Something's gone wrong.
31
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,615
Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
32
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,335
Full on! Oldblud.
33
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,375
Oldblud!
34
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,255
That's pretty hard, man.
35
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,455
It's this way, isn't it?
36
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,775
I've almost fallen down
this staircase, like, six times.
37
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,815
Alcohol has that effect on people.
38
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,655
At a hotel in Paris,
39
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,455
I was with Dom Harrison,
40
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,855
the rock star
better known as Yungblud.
41
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,135
Oh, wow. This is cool, isn't it?
42
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,175
Right, isn't it? Wow.
43
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,095
This is the business.
Look at this room.
44
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,815
What?! Look at this wallpaper.
45
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,375
25 years old,
Dom has built a fan base
46
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,855
of almost religious intensity
for his emotionally-charged music,
47
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,215
and he'd agreed to let me
follow him.
48
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,575
Look at this nice, fancy chair.
49
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,175
Nice. How's it going?
50
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,255
Good, man. How are you?
Yeah, good. Paris.
51
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,375
Nice to see you.
I was very excited for this.
52
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,895
Do you know what I mean?
Were you?
53
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,215
Everything's up for discussion.
54
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,015
That's what I'm saying.
Nothing's off the table.
55
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,375
That's what I'm like.
56
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,575
I first met Yungblud in Los Angeles,
57
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,015
where he was nearing the end
of a tour of North America.
58
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,495
He'd done more than 30 shows
in 50 days
59
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,655
and he'd invited me along
for his last two nights.
60
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,055
Here he is. Am I allowed in?
Yeah, of course.
61
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,295
Can I come in? Oh, hello!
Hello! Hi! How are you?
62
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,735
I don't want to interrupt. You just do what
you're doing. I don't want to slow things down.
63
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,415
Hello. I'm just painting my nails.
How are you doing? How's it going?
64
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,255
Nice to meet you. Cuddles.
I don't want to get your jump messy.
65
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,455
I don't mind.
Ready for a rock show? Yeah, I am.
66
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,695
You've been on tour since
January 8th, is that right?
67
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,335
Dude, I left my mum and...
68
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,615
I literally went home for New Year,
back to Donny and, like,
69
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:12,095
left my mum and clad on
the 4th ofjanuary
70
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,855
and literally, just, like,
been going for it.
71
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,775
Oh, man, my cluck's up!
72
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,255
What the fuck?
73
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,535
Brother, I've missed my...
74
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,215
I haven't had my duck since
Ally Pally.
75
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,935
That looks fucking mental.
76
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,135
Amazing. I know.
77
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,295
What's the idea behind the duck?
78
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,535
To be honest, I just...
79
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,735
I literally just said, I was like,
80
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,935
"What if we had a red rubber duck
with spikes and a thing,"
81
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,615
and everyone was just like, "Why?"
82
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,575
I was like, "Exactly."
It's a punk duck.
83
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,455
It's a fucking punk duck.
84
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,535
My favourite part of
the show is, like...
85
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,455
...standing here beforehand
and then it dropping
86
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,975
and I get to see the crowd
for the first time.
87
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,135
The biggest misconception about me
is people - about Yungblud -
88
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,415
is people think that it's about me.
89
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,055
It's not about me,
it's about the connection.
90
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,495
Ancl that's why I can't wait
for you to see it tonight
91
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,215
because that's like...
92
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,015
It's like this wire
that connects to everyone.
93
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,175
So if the Wire's not like, bahhh,
I come on stage, I'm like,
94
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,175
"Fuck!" and I get really angry.
95
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,935
Because I'm like, want to,
like, I'm addicted to that kick,
96
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,175
you know what I mean?
97
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,855
Why don't you stand where
the Kabuki's going to drop?
98
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,495
That was...
Yo, Scott, we got my microphone?
99
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,935
Because I'll stand out here
like this... Tonight...
100
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,655
...and I'll be like...
..for one night only...
101
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,215
Legs out like this.
102
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,655
Arms behind your back.
103
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,815
Hold the microphone.
104
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:39,535
Ready? Lowering Kabuki
in three, two, one.
105
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,215
POP-
106
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,615
And then everyone's there'.!
107
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,015
THEY SCREAM AND LAUGH
108
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,695
Ancl that's what happens,
everyone's just like, ahh!
109
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,175
Oh, wow. Ancl everyone on the front
row's like, "Oh, my God!"
110
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,255
It's sick.
111
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,655
# I can't think, I can't lie
112
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,455
# I feel anxious all the time... #
113
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,655
Yungblud arrived on the pop scene
four years ago,
114
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,735
combining catchy riffs with lyrics
that deal with themes
115
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,815
of overcoming personal trauma.
116
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,495
At his shows, he encouraged
fans to come out on stage
117
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,255
about their sexuality and gender.
118
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:19,375
Kenya! This is Kenya!
119
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,215
CHEERING
120
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,975
Using social media,
121
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,895
he built a following in
the millions,
122
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,815
the so-called
Black Hearts Club,
123
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:31,855
talking openly about his own
mental health struggles.
124
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,815
I found the most beautiful community
of people
125
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:40,695
who love me every single clay
and I love them back.
126
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,495
But he also has his share of critics
who question his authenticity.
127
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,295
For both him and his fans,
128
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:56,655
the live shows are an opportunity
to connect with an outsider family.
129
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,095
What would you say his message is?
130
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,655
Like, for instance, like,
Polygraph Eyes,
131
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,295
for me, as a survivor
of sexual assault,
132
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,735
that it really does get
to you and your soul a lot.
133
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,975
We drove here from
Salt Lake City, Utah, yesterday.
134
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,295
That's a long way. Yes.
Yeah, it's about ten hours.
135
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,615
We got here last night.
136
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,975
Because you're here for the gig,
is this especially for that
137
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,255
or what do you wear in
the normal way of things?
138
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:28,495
I mean, this is fairly close
to what I wear regularly.
139
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,175
And, you know,
Salt Lake City, Utah
140
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,375
is kind of a conservative city,
right?
141
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,695
Yes, yeah.
142
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,895
It's basically Mormon.
You know, are you IDS?
143
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,095
Are you Mormon yourselves?
144
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,775
Yeah, both of us are, actually.
Yeah.
145
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,015
We're certainly pushing
boundaries, you know.
146
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,815
I've been here since, like,
the ass crack of dawn, so...
147
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:47,735
I snuck out of rehab to, like,
be here.
148
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,375
Seriously? Yeah.
149
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,855
What kind of rehab?
150
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,855
Like, drug substance.
151
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,455
Yeah.
Can you say what it was?
152
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,535
What the substance
was that you had an issue with?
153
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,215
I was using heroin and fentanyl.
154
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,575
Really? Yeah.
155
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,335
He's brought a community
of people together to just feel
156
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,015
like it's a safe place and like
it's a place where you belong.
157
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,015
Like, every time you come here,
158
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,215
people are so welcoming
and accepting,
159
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,535
and that's not, like,
a thing you really find in fanbases.
160
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,335
# Sing
161
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,535
# Ya, ya, ya, ya,
Ya, Ya, ya, ya
162
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,655
# Ya, ya, ya. #
You've got to keep your voice.
163
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,855
What happens if you
wouldn't do that?
164
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,495
# Ya... # I'd just sound shit
for the first couple of songs.
165
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,855
You know what I mean?
just a little bit. Not too much.
166
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,935
You've got to have a...
167
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,295
# A, E, I, O, U... #
168
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,375
Love you, baby. Oh, hi, baby.
I love you.
169
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,215
I'll see you afterwards.
Have a great show.
170
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,455

Do you do any falsetto? Not really.

Right, do you want to come see us
get really pissed and act up?
190
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,975
Right, then, fuckers.

and the Shrine Expo Hall
filled to bursting,
196
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,695
I was about to get my first
taste of live Yungblud.

In this family,

00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:52,975
you can be whatever the fuck you
want to be without judgment.
210
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,935
But what was striking is
how the music came mixed
211
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,495
with a mission to heal.
212
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,735
You can look like whatever
the fuck you want to look like.

You can love whoever
the fuck you want to love.

Ancl you can identify in any fucking
way you want to identify.
215
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,575
So, Los Angeles, I'll ask you again.
216
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,375

222
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,175
Back in Paris,
223
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,895
I was curious to know about
Dom's role
224
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,495
as a Gen 7. rock phenomenon.
225
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,455
So, let's talk about where you are,
226
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,495
because I'm aware of Yungblud
227
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,415
as someone that many people
have an idea
228
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,495
of who they think you are. Yeah.
229
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,135
Like younger fans or younger people
who you're on the radar of,
230
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,655
but then there's also many older
people who won't know who you are.
231
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:15,015
Yeah. And I have trouble
figuring out exactly how successful
232
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,175
you are in some ways... Yeah.
..because you've got passionate,
233
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,815
passionate fans and solid sales,
234
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,455
but not spectacular
kind of, your singles...
235
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,415
You told me this,
you've never had a top 40 hit.
236
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,775
Never. On your own. Never.
237
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,935
How would you describe
where you're at in your career?
238
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,775
I would just... I think
right now I'm at a crossroads.
239
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,935
You could either be massive
or you could kind of plateau.
240
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,695
I think that's what people
look at me as.
241
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,975
But the fan base is growing
242
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,015
and what I've been told is
we're going to hit arenas anyway.
243
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,975
Have you got arenas booked for
the next tour in the UK? I do, I do.
244
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,615
Which is mad. Yeah.
You know what I mean?
245
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,895
Ever since I was young,
I wanted to play stadiums.
246
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,135
That was the goal.
It was almost like I don't care
247
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,615
how many records I sell,
I just want live music
248
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,495
and kind of walking out
to big crowds
249
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,575
is what I've always dreamed of,
you know what I mean?
250
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,095
I never wanted... I never cared
about, like, discs or anything.
251
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,455
I was like, it was
always about, like, Wembley.
252
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,335
That was always the dream.
253
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,095
As long as I can play every night
254
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,495
and as long as the venues keep
getting bigger, that's my drive.
255
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,615
Did you see that Jagger
gave you a shout-out?
256
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,895
Pretty mental, that, innit?
257
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,935
He said something like, "Yungblud.
I like what Yungblud's doing.
258
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,615
"He's bringing energy to rock."
Or something like that. Pretty...
259
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,615
Do you know him?
I don't know him.
260
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,335
I mean, I know him from pretending
to be him in a mirror.
261
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,775
I think I know him,
but probably not.
262
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,415
You know, I think that was a...
263
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,015
I wonder how you crossed his radar.
I wonder, too.
264
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,135
I think it was definitely
a clay where I was like, what?!
265
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,735
Are you aware of being
a divisive figure?
266
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,135
Yeah.
267
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,935
I mean, I was surprised
when I looked at the internet.
268
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:06,135
You've obviously got absolutely
diehard fans, the Black Hearts Club,
269
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,655
who would do anything
for you and believe utterly in you
270
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:11,015
and see you as an almost sort of,
271
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,615
I don't want to say...
Well, religious.
272
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,375
Almost with a kind of like that
degree of fervour, right? Crazy.
273
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,615
And then there's people
who just think
274
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,575
you're absolute rubbish. Yeah, yeah.
275
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,295
This is what was so rough about...
276
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,095
...the past year.
277
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,295
You kind of cross a threshold
278
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,255
where it's not just this cult thing
that nobody knows about
279
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,055
and then everybody can have
their opinion about who you are.
280
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,975
People have talked about
my upbringing online.
281
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,775
People think my accent's fake.
282
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,575
They've said that, "Oh, he pretends
to be sort of working class,
283
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,295
"northern, and actually
he's middle class,
284
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,655
"went to private school." Yeah.
285
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:52,655
Because you went to a stage school
and were in a Disney show.
286
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:54,175
Never hidden that.
287
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,815
Literally the first lyric
I put out was,
288
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,415
"I'll admit I've never been broke,
but I have been broken." Right.
289
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,495
They can be like,
"Oh, he's putting on his accent,"
290
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,295
but I'm from the North,
I'm from Doncaster.
291
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,735
You know what I mean? Like,
you should hear my mum speak,
292
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,655
you should hear my clad speak,
we speak like this.
293
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:12,495
I never said I didn't go
to private school.
294
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,375
I never professed to be
a working class hero.
295
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,295
What I talked about since
the beginning of my career
296
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,895
was I felt misjudged
297
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,255
and it was never about me
being like,
298
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,575
"I came from this
and you can get here."
299
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,375
I never said that.
I never professed that.
300
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,095
"Yungblud queerbaits."
"Yungblud pretends to be gay."
301
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,855
It's like, how dare you question
my sexuality?
302
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,735
Like... That's an odd phrase,
queerbait. Yeah.
303
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,815
What does that mean?
It means to...
304
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,135
...to pretend to be queer.
305
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,615
To use it as a fashion statement
or a marketing statement.
306
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,095
But it's very easy to say,
because people don't know my life.
307
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,055
People don't know the partners
I've had.
308
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,855
Do you call yourself pansexual,
as I've read?
309
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,935
I think so, yeah.
310
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,775
That's what I would identify as.
311
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,055
It's not about the gender.
312
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,295
It's not about...
It's not about anything.
313
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,175
It's about the person.
314
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,815
Some people had an issue
with that.
315
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,735
That's like, "Oh, he goes
out with a woman, he's a man.
316
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,095
"He's just trying to make himself
sound more interesting."
317
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,295
YUNGBLUD SIGHS
You know what I mean?
318
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,815
But it's just like, how dare you?
319
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,535
I wouldn't judge you like that.
320
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,495
If you say this is what you are,
that's what you are,
321
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,695
do you know what I'm saying?
322
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,815
It's like, it's just, for me...
323
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,295
...that's what I am.
324
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,415
When I came down to London,
325
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:34,855
I experimented with every
kind of thing.
326
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,175
Objects?
327
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,095
Yeah. That's pretty normal.
328
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,375
Do you still find yourself attracted
to men from time to time?
329
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,735
As I say, attracted, yeah.
330
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,735
I'm attracted to people,
you know what I'm saying?
331
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,255
But I think would I...
332
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,135
You said Shawn Mendes.
333
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,175
Yeah, gorgeous-looking guy.
A right stunner.
334
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,415
Harry Styles, gorgeous. Hm.
335
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,255
Beautiful, do you know what I mean?
336
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,495
Again, I'd kiss him.
Don't know if he'd kiss me.
337
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,815
But I think the beautiful thing
about sexuality
338
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,055
and sexual expression
is it can change.
339
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,735
It can, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
340
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,975
Ancl I think we should be liberal
and open to things changing
341
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,095
and not judge people.
342
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,535
If someone was this one minute
343
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,495
and they want to be that
the next minute,
344
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,935
that's their life
and that's beautiful.
345
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,655
Yeah. You know?
346
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,135
But I write these songs and
I say these messages
347
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,815
because I want teachers,
I want doctors,
348
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,335
I want youth leaders,
349
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,535
no matter who they are
in a position of authority
350
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,135
to respect other
people's expression
351
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,135
and respect their pronouns
and respect their sexuality
352
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,695
and respect their race.
353
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,175
That's what I want to...
354
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:52,015
I want obviously to incite chaos
and liberation in young people,
355
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,495
but I also want to be like,
"All right, teacher.
356
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,015
"That shit can really fuck
someone up,
357
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,415
"so pay attention to it."
358
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,855
Ancl I am going to talk about
sexuality, gender, race,
359
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,535
sexual abuse, mental abuse, trauma,
360
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,215
because that's what I want to bring
to a mainstream audience
361
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,015
and these are the questions and
the conversations I want to have.
362
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,655
In Phoenix, the night
after his Los Angeles show,
363
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,855
it was the very last date
of the Yungblud North American tour.
364
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,495
Is this the new one?
365
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,015
# What is your name?
366
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,455
# Where are you from?
367
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,615
# Why are you running?
Why'd you stop?
368
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,095
# Big English eyes
369
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:50,575
# You're telling lies
370
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,615
# Show me your teeth,
I'll know you're not
371
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,135
# Are you happy?
372
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,735
# Are you sad?
373
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:06,255
# Are you hurting like I am?
374
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,655
# If you're hurting, you can... #
375
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,975
So is that new? Yeah.
376
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,255
When did you write that?
377
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,415
It's been going around my head
for a couple months,
378
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,895
but I've been fixing...
379
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,295
I got the...
Twiddling with it, fiddling with it.
380
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,255
I got most of it today, lyrically.
381
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,295
That's nice.
382
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,495
Is this the stuff your fans
gave you today? Yeah.
383
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,815
Can we have a quick look at it?
Course you can.
384
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,175
I always have it brought
into my dressing room
385
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,775
so no-one leaves it
or forgets it. Is it?
386
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,295
A nice picture.
387
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,815
So sick, with my logos.
388
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,495
Another one. Yeah.
389
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,575
What will you do with
all of it, though?
390
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,295
You have to chuck it, don't you?
391
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,935
No, I actually don't.
392
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:03,575
I keep it and, basically,
like, send it to my mum.
393
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,135
She loves it.
394
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,615
I read it and then put it in boxes.
395
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,215
I want to look at it when I'm old.
396
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,055
You know what I mean?
397
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,455
"Hi, Dom.
398
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,575
"Your music helps me heal
from traumas from years ago.
399
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,695
"When I was 12,
my house burned down
400
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,055
"two days before Christmas."
401
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,735
Gosh, there's a lot of trauma
out there. This is a long one.
402
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,455
I always said if, like,
if you feel like you've got
403
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,495
nowhere to go...
404
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:30,895
...come here.
405
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,615
It must be tough, though,
because, look,
406
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,695
you can't give everyone
everything that they need, right?
407
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,175
I mean, even to read all
of the messages would be a lot.
408
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,935
I read as much as I can.
409
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,975
Yeah. I really do.
410
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,095
It fuels me.
411
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:46,175
You know what I mean?
412
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,815
Like, say, like,
I've had a shit clay
413
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,775
or the record didn't do as well
as I wanted to or blah, blah, blah,
414
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,055
it kind of makes it...
415
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,615
That's what it's about.
416
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,575
Sometimes, like, I feel like if you
were to read my Instagram DMs,
417
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,095
it can get quite dark,
you know what I mean?
418
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:06,695
But I don't know,
I just take it on, because...
419
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,255
I didn't expect to be here,
but I am,
420
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:18,615
and I'm grateful for it
and I love them.
421
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,735
I love how they make each other feel
and I love how they make me feel.
422
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:22,815
People believe in you.
423
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,375
But it is... In the end,
you can only do so much.
424
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,855
Completely and it does
get exhausting, but it's like...
425
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,215
You can be a role model
or you can be an entertainer
426
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,055
and you can be someone
they look up to,
427
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,175
but you can't be a kind of physical
presence in their lives
428
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,415
on a daily basis. No.
429
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,135
They have to find their own
solutions.
430
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,575
I think that's what
the music says, though, a lot.
431
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,535
It's like, go out and be yourself.
432
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:47,695
It's within you.
433
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,375
Dom! What?
434
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,615
Whoo! Last show, baby.
435
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,575
Oh, my God.
It's the last show. Shit.
436
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,335
I need to, like... Three minutes.
437
00:20:57,360 --> 00:20:59,375
Three minutes? Three minutes.
438
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,015
I haven't even warmed my voice up.
439
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,055
SCREAMING
440
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,975
Welcome back.
441
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,295
Have you missed me?
442
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,975
Cos I've certainly missed you.
443
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,055
ROCK MUSIC PLAYS
444
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:34,295
I'll tell you what, I am feeling
the fucking love.
445
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,055
Because I'm with my fucking family,
baby!
446
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,615
CHEERING
447
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,135
Now, I've found a friend in
the meet and greet.
448
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,095
Where are you?
449
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:52,455
There you are.
450
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,215
One of the regular features
of Dom's show
451
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,735
involves him inviting a member
of the audience up on stage...
452
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,175
Now, what's your name?
453
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,615
Cheyenne. You have something to say,
don't you?
454
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,855
...where, with his support,
they make a public declaration
455
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,775
about something deeply personal.
456
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,895
I just want to say
that I like girls.
457
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,055
CHEERING
458
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,135
Do you want to know why
I can stand on this fucking stage
459
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,535
in this fucking skirt
no matter what
460
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,415
my mum, my clad, the internet,
and my friends say?
461
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,335
Do you want to know
why I can do that?
462
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,335
Because of each
and every one of you.
463
00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:39,495
Ancl I fucking love you.
464
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,535
I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you, I love you.
465
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,815
You, you, you, you, you,
you, you, you, you, you,
466
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,095
YOU, YOU, you, you...
467
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:49,575
The emotion of the crowd
resembled a revivalist meeting,
468
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,695
an audience joined together
looking for release.
469
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,055
Phoenix!
470
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,135
# To figure it all out on your own
471
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,655
# Watch me take a good thing and
fuck it all up in one night... #
472
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,615
Presiding over everything,
473
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,535
creating and feeding on the energy,
was Dom.
474
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,055
# Alone at midnight
475
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,375
# Inside my mind,
tryna get things right
476
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,575
# So you don't wake in
the morning. #
477
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,495
CHEERING
478
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,135
Oh, I'll just... Yes.
479
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,855
How's that look? All right?
480
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:39,175
Are you all right talking about
mental health stuff?
481
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,895
Yeah, I always think it's, like,
kind of what I'm here for.
482
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,895
I think it's what makes
Yungblud Yungblud.
483
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,855
What, showing your wounds?
Absolutely.
484
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,135
I think being vulnerable,
you know.
485
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,615
Do you have a mental health
diagnosis?
486
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,095
I mean, I had ADHD. I got diagnosed
with that when I was a kid, but...
487
00:23:58,120 --> 00:23:59,575
ADHD stands for...
488
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,295
Attention Deficit...
Attention Deficit...
489
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,655
...Hyperactivity Disorder.
..Hyperactivity Disorder, yeah.
490
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,215
Yeah. How did they realise that
you might have something?
491
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,535
It just, like... It's just like you
kind of do a test about, like...
492
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,695
But were you acting up?
..concentration...
493
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,615
Were you struggling at school
or at home, or...?
494
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,495
No, it was more
concentration span
495
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,615
and I was just boop, boop,
b00p,b00p,b00p,
496
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,375
like, everywhere
and mood swings, etc.
497
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,735
Ancl it's kind of
my biggest happiness
498
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,575
and my biggest curse.
499
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,335
The ADHD?
Cos I ain't slept in ten years.
500
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,015
Right, it's a source of
enormous...
501
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,135
Yeah, it's a source of energy...
..energy and creativity.
502
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,735
Ancl that's the thing.
I think, like, yeah,
503
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,535
it's how I create so much
and how I can kind of like...
504
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,935
I've had probably about three hours'
sleep in two clays
505
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,975
and I've clone two shows,
this interview
506
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,255
and 45 bits of press
and loved every minute of it.
507
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,615
What's the status of your
mental health at the moment?
508
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,215
I'm kind of in a period
of, like, redemption,
509
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,655
but it's interesting
when we're backstage at the show
510
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,735
and people are like,
and my friends there are like,
511
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,695
"Do you really want to go
and meet him afterwards?
512
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,615
"Do you really want to go and
do that?"
513
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:10,375
Ancl I'm like, "Yeah, I do,"
because my fan base is the cure
514
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,815
to the pain I feel daily,
you know what I mean?
515
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,735
Still feel daily. Really?
516
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,815
Yeah, absolutely.
Of course it is, completely.
517
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,295
But did you really mean that?
518
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,495
No, I do. Really?
Absolutely really mean it.
519
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,695
I only say that because
being around you,
520
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,975
you're so up, you're so positive.
No, I understand that.
521
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,375
That's why people
don't believe me. I get it.
522
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,575
It's like, yeah, man, I'm up and
I'm energetic and I'm buzzing,
523
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,655
but what I sing about is...
524
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,215
...pain and...
525
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,015
"struggles,
526
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,455
but I sing about it through a...
527
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,455
...from a place of wit and
from a place of confidence
528
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,775
and a place of happiness,
529
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,855
because there's two sides
of my personality... Right.
530
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,615
...that have merged together to help.
531
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,575
I think that's why I do it so much,
532
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,015
because I felt lonely and
I spent a lot of time
533
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,535
on my own in my own head,
so I cherish it,
534
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,815
I cherish every
single person that I come across,
535
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,975
because I'm like,
536
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,255
"How lucky am I to go all over the
world and meet someone in Paris,
537
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,735
"meet someone in Phoenix,
meet someone in Lisbon?"
538
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,775
Some people would view that as
a grind, though, wouldn't they?
539
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,255
There's many musicians who come
off the road because they're like,
540
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,775
"I just can't handle being
around people all the time."
541
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,895
I love it. I think when
I'm on my own,
542
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,615
that's when I get freaked out.
543
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,975
Really? When I'm on tour
and when I'm with my family,
544
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,815
I'm better than ever.
545
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,975
Do you mean your family family
or your fan base? My fan base.
546
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,575
I call them my family,
because I see them every night.
547
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,575
It's literally that thing
about what is Yungblud?
548
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,175
When you come into the room...
549
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,215
...everything's all right.
550
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,815
For them, for me,
that's what it represents.
551
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,575
Should we talk about, like,
you've mentioned a few times...
552
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,815
...about your upbringing and,
you know... Can do if you want.
553
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,615
...the home that you grew up in?
554
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:03,895
If you want, yeah.
555
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,695
And I've read you describe it
as abusive...
556
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,535
Yeah. ..which is obviously
a very heavy term.
557
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,975
It was crazy.
558
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,015
It was like...
559
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,375
I grew up in a family business
where it was so turbulent.
560
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,215
It was up and down all the time.
561
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,295
I grew up in that shop
and I... A guitar...?
562
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,295
It was a musical instrument shop?
A music shop.
563
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,495
It was a music shop.
564
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,895
But I think the pressures
of that came home
565
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,215
and that had a big effect on...
566
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:34,695
...me and my sisters.
567
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,815
My parents have this weird,
beautifully dark relationship
568
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,255
where I don't think
I've ever seen two people love
569
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,375
each other as much as they have,
570
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,215
but I don't think I've seen anybody
hurt each other as much.
571
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,415
But what was happening?
572
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,335
It was physically and mentally
and emotionally abusive.
573
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,175
I've always wanted to build a world
where I could exist to escape
574
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,095
what was going on around me.
575
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:10,455
I think this is us.
576
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,175
This one, right? This one. Killer.
577
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,415
You don't mind travelling backwards
or anything?
578
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,975
This is luxury, isn't it?
579
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,815
I know, killer. This isn't bad.
YUNGBLUD SIGHS
580
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,735
We were on our way to Dom's
hometown of Doncaster.
581
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,975
He'd grown up the eldest
of three children.
582
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,655
His mum and dad ran
a family-owned guitar shop
583
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,375
with a rock star clientele.
584
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:34,575
I'll play you this.
585
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,495
This is a song called
Miss Those Days.
586
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,015
My dad's mates in the shop
filmed this video for us.
587
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,735
You look so young. So young.
588
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,055
Sort of 14, 15.
589
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,695
# Night after night goes by... #
590
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,015
Before the make-up
and black nail polish,
591
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,255
there was stage school
and an acting role as a moody teen
592
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,815
in a kid's TV show.
593
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,415
You're leaving?
594
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,415
Maybe I just lost the motivation
to hang around.
595
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,295
And early performances
under the name Harrison.
596
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,895
# We were messing around... #
597
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,255
I do, I love it, man.
598
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,015
As if Louis Theroux's in Donny!
599
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,815
I'm so excited right now.
600
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,575
We're in Donny!
601
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:22,935
Mind the gap.
602
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,575
Welcome to Donny.
603
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,695
Well, it's, like, so much nicer
than it used to be here.
604
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,735
So, there used to be a car park.
605
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,655
This was? Yeah.
606
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,895
You're Yungblud, aren't you? I am.
607
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,535
How are you? Oh, my God.
Nice to meet you. Are you well?
608
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,615
Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you having a nice clay?
609
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,215
How are you?
Cool, I like your shoes.
610
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,575
They're sick. Thanks.
611
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:44,935
How's it going? Oh, my God.
612
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,335
Are you well?
Do you want a cuddle? Yes, please.
613
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,775
All right. Thank you.
614
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,455
Shall we take a picture? Yeah.
615
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,455
Rockin'. Have a nice clay. You too.
616
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,415
Hello, mate. How are you?
Not too bad.
617
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,175
Good, man. How's it going?
618
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,735
How'd you do it?
How'd you get famous?
619
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,855
How did I get famous? Yeah.
620
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,415
I just put songs on
t'internet and tried my best.
621
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,575
I don't know.
622
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:09,815
I'd love to do it, but...
623
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,775
Oh, do you sing? Yeah.
624
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,135
I've put it all over Facebook.
I've got loads of videos.
625
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,895
Do you? Love it, man.
626
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,495
Yeah, nice one.
Good luck with your career.
627
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,415
See you later, guys.
628
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,575
Do you know what?
I used to play here for gigs.
629
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,415
This is a venue called The Leopard.
630
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:24,615
Everyone, like, if you...
631
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,335
Everyone's who's ever
played, like... PHONE PINGS
632
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,295
Oh, my mum.
633
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,895
"Call and get milk, please, darts."
634
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,695
Mate, sir, can we...?
635
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,255
Sir, can we stop here?
636
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,215
Fucking hell.
"Mum, I'm with Louis Theroux."
637
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,255
"I don't give a fuck.
Get some milk."
638
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,335
Sorted.
639
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,615
Here, we're here.
640
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,455
I'll get my bag-
641
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,735
And the milk.
Can't forget the bloody milk.
642
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,135
With everything Dom had told me
about his family,
643
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,375
I was curious to meet them
for their perspective on his stardom
644
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,775
and his life growing up.
645
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,815
Mum! Hi!
646
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,095
Hi. What's up?
647
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,815
All right? Hi, darling.
THEY KISS
648
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,055
This is Louis.
649
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,735
Hi. Hi, nice to meet you.
Louis. You must be Samantha.
650
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,215
Or Sam. Or Sam? Yeah.
651
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,775
Samantha's my telling off name.
652
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,015
I hope you're not going to
be using it. I wouldn't.
653
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,655
It'll be Sam.
We got you some milk.
654
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,735
Louis. Nice to meet you. Hello.
All right? How's it going?
655
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,575
You must be just in. I am.
656
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,615
Vibes. Wow, this is so lovely.
657
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,775
Shall I embarrass you and say
are you all fans of Dom's music?
658
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,335
I mean, do you have a favourite?
659
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,775
How do you describe
your relationship with...?
660
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,495
She hated it at first, didn't you?
661
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,775
I like his more melodic stuff.
662
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,255
I mean, in my opinion,
663
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,975
as I say to everybody,
because I've invited friends,
664
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,375
I said, "You might not like his
music, but the show's fantastic."
665
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,975
You've been to his gigs. Amazing.
666
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,135
It is amazing. It's mad.
667
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,255
Dom, I mean, this is critical mum,
668
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,655
but he'll say, "Oh, Mum, what was
that performance like?"
669
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,255
I'm like, "Can you just stand
still and sing a song?"
670
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,535
You know, like, I love,
I love your energy.
671
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,895
I appreciate that everybody
loves your energy and I buy
672
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,375
into it and everything.
673
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,695
But you've got such a great voice.
674
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,935
Just stand still and sing a song.
675
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,735
OK. Interesting feedback.
676
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,015
I think, I think I'll get,
I think I'll get the mums,
677
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,015
do you know what I mean,
if I do that.
678
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,415
I don't know if I'm, I don't if
I'm ready for it yet, maybe.
679
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,295
Maybe you're not.
680
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,295
I just think that for young
people like myself,
681
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,895
it's very meaningful,
like, it helps people.
682
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,375
I can see why he does it
683
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,495
because, like, sometimes I listen
to it when I feel a bit down
684
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,215
and it just helps me.
685
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,575
Wow. That's nice to hear.
686
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,415
Yeah. Yeah.
687
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,935
How old are you, Izzie.
688
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,655
15? Right. Yeah.
689
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,575
Oh, my God. What the hell?
690
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,015
Oh, yeah.
I've got you an album here.
691
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,895
I like seeing physical photos.
It's all on screens now.
692
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,575
Or is that you?
Outside of church, yeah.
693
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,495
Look at you actually doing
it like a Yungblud face. Yeah.
694
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,175
That's so cute. Is that you? ls
that me? Yeah, of course it is.
695
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,695
Oh, my God. That's so crazy.
Proper chubby.
696
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:14,295
He could sing every nursery rhyme,
but just, you had to hold his hand
697
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,415
because he kept falling over
cos he was so fat,
698
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:17,695
he couldn't walk for ages.
699
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:19,895
Oh, look at that.
700
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,815
Oh. Smiler.
701
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,615
You know, I've been
with Dom a few days.
702
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,015
We've talked about everything.
703
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,975
And one of the things that came up,
it's a bit delicate, but was aspects
704
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,855
of his upbringing where the family
wasn't always totally harmonious.
705
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,335
Can I put it that way?
706
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,495
No. Um, whether it was conflict
or whatever it was that you went
707
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,975
through was what would you say?
708
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,975
It was just turbulent, wasn't it?
709
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,855
It was never easy.
710
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,495
We did shout at each other,
you know, excessively, really.
711
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,175
Ancl you had anger issues.
Yeah, I had anger issues.
712
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,255
And I'm still going for therapy
every week
713
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,135
because I've got anger issues.
714
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,015
The last few years have been a lot
calmer, but obviously I needed
715
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,055
therapy to control my anger bursts.
716
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,935
And that's, that's what I did,
really, you know?
717
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,535
When we first met, we were 16.
718
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,895
You fancy the pants of each
other, you don't necessarily
719
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,295
respect each other.
720
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,615
Ancl I think our neutral...
I'm not trying to justify it,
721
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,095
...but our neutral position
is probably one of disrespect
722
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,375
and youth and passion
723
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,095
and we need to shout loudest
and we need to get our own way.
724
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,375
We went to counselling for quite
a few years and I think we learned
725
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,055
to respect each other.
726
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,855
Because that was a term
that Dom used was abusive
727
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,495
and the household or that the
relationship was abusive.
728
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,255
That's obviously a big word.
729
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,375
Is it, is it a shock to hear
the term abusive?
730
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,895
I don't think, you know...
I'd say your behaviour.
731
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:53,295
...my behaviour wasn't, as I said,
it wasn't, in my opinion, one sided.
732
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:59,135
It was smashing things up and
physical behaviour,
733
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,775
do you know what I mean,
734
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,455
and shouting and screaming and,
735
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:09,855
yeah, I mean, all of it, you know?
736
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,575
You all right, Dom?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
737
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,335
Sorry, it fucking freaks me out.
738
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,295
I don't, you know what I mean, it's
rough, you know what I'm saying?
739
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:18,855
Sorry.
740
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,735
I just think we haven't resolved
a lot of stuff together yet.
741
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,375
Sam and just in, was it,
were you conscious of the extent
742
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,655
to which the children were
being exposed...?
743
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,215
Not at the time?
744
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:37,135
When I started reading interviews
about how the relationship
745
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,375
between his clad and I
impacted on him,
746
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:45,895
I took it and I felt quite guilty.
747
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,975
One thing I've noticed is
that you've been very, you know,
748
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,855
you express a lot of it
in your music,
749
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,255
this experience of going through
what you went through.
750
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,815
I think, I think, I think
that was just I just needed to put
751
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,975
that shit somewhere, you know?
752
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,975
I mean, that was, like,
literally it.
753
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,775
I've not been here.
754
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,935
Do you know what I mean?
755
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,975
Ancl that's why I feel rough
sometimes about putting
756
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,495
it in my songs because I never got
to fucking talk about it.
757
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,095
That's why when that kind of
thing gets brought up,
758
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,015
I'm like, I can write about it.
759
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,295
I can sing about
it because I have to.
760
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,895
It's fucking mental.
761
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,495
Do you know what I mean?
762
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,135
It's all mental.
763
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,655
...you know what I'm saying,
cos, like, I love my family.
764
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,135
I do.
765
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,215
We know you do. I know.
But it's like I've not been here.
766
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:38,535
Shit, you know what I mean?
767
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,615
I think our family is very close to
say what we've been through, really.
768
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,455
A little later, we repaired
to the pub for a drink.
769
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,815
Speaking to Dom's family, I felt I'd
had a glimpse of a household full
770
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,015
of love, one that had come
through its share of angst,
771
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,015
but also its share of healing...
772
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:19,655
...and how much all of this
had fuel led Dom's music.
773
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,935
MUSIC PLAYS
774
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:32,175
CROWD SCREAMS
775
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:44,615
Back in Phoenix, Dom came off stage
after the last show of his tour.
776
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,335
That's America clone,
777
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,775
until we play next time in the big
boy rooms. They were feeling it.
778
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,935
Yo, man, it's all a fucking
abundance of love.
779
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,615
Yeah. It's fucking rock and roll,
but it's love.
780
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,215
That's it.
Like, I'm not a fucking punk.
781
00:38:02,240 --> 00:38:05,375
I'm a hippie. Fucking love.
782
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,615
You're a showman.
783
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:10,735
# Day-oh
784
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,255
# Dey-eh-eh-oh
785
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,495
# Da-ra-di-ra-di-ro. #
786
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,135
Right then, everybody.
787
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:24,335
When the agent said, "Let's do 15",
we said "Nay, we will do 36",
788
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,895
and we visited every kid, in every
town and made them feel
789
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,735
like they can be who they are.
790
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,495
I fucking adore you all.
791
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,015
Thank you so much.
792
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,815
Ancl next time we play,
it's fucking arenas, baby.
793
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,655
CHEERING
794
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,935
Cheers. Cheers, you fuckers.
CORK POPS
795
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,335
CHEERING
796
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,095
A little later,
797
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,295
Dom went out to meet fans who'd
remained behind to see him.
798
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,935
Oh, fucking, I'm proud of you.
Well, as I say, like, be yourself.
799
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,655
Always be yourself. Never fucking let anyone tell
you that you should be anything otherwise, OK.
800
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,735
Adore you, be safe.
Goodnight, thank you.
801
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:18,975
Never be ashamed.
802
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,855
Never be ashamed.
803
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,935
Dress the way...
You look fucking amazing.
804
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:26,975
Never be ashamed.
805
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,135
Well, fucking, like, I'm so,
that makes me so happy.
806
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,575
You're fucking cool as fuck.
807
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:37,775
I adore you.
808
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,655
FANS CHATTER INDISTINCTLY
809
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,095
In my time with him,
I'd come to see how Dom's perception
810
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,695
of his own struggles were key
to his connection with fans
811
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:53,175
and I'd been struck by the
intensity of the emotions.
812
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,135
But I was also aware of
hazards in the relationship.
813
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,015
Are you aware of what you think
it is that you are really good at?
814
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,415
No.
815
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:06,695
What do you think it is?
816
00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:09,255
What you've got is an ability
to connect with people.
817
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,055
And I read a quote of yours in a
different interview where you said,
818
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,575
"I'm more of a preacher than
I am a musician".
819
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,495
And the concerts, to me, felt almost
like people were coming to get
820
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:23,415
healed and to believe utterly
in what you had, in your sincerity,
821
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,415
in your emotion.
822
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,335
And in a sense, whether that's real
or not on your part is slightly
823
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:34,095
beside the point, because the
people were feeling it 100%.
824
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,895
Fully. I think,
I think it's so simple
825
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,655
when I actually kind
of scale it back
826
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:44,095
and all this complicated blur
and madness around it is literally
827
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:49,535
the idea that, like, you look at
someone and they look at you back
828
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,375
and you truly kind of
829
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,615
empathise with him and the idea
that we are going through
830
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,135
the same thing. Hmm.
831
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:03,855
Ancl I think, like, I am out here
and I am hurting and I am lonely
832
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,815
and I'm terrified.
833
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:06,855
Ancl I am...
834
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,815
...wanting something more, and that
other person feels that way, too.
835
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,295
And I feel like I've seen that and
been part of it a little bit,
836
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,215
like I feel
mainly what I experienced
837
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:18,695
when I was with you was your
ability to make people feel
838
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:21,295
like they were being loved
and supported...
839
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,055
...by someone.
840
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,575
But the people who love
you and your music,
841
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,375
many of them have trauma
in their background.
842
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,735
And that's like a powder keg,
isn't it?
843
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,495
And it's something that in talking
about it, you know, you can open
844
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,895
something up and then
have a great night.
845
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,855
And then they're dealing
with the consequences
846
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,775
after you've gone on to the next
town to do your next show, right.
847
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,815
And I don't want to make too much
of it, like, I like you, Dom,
848
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,215
and I like what you're doing,
849
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:51,255
and at the same time, I do see
risks. Is that making any sense?
850
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:55,175
I think, I think I
understand you, but also...
851
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,655
...| kind of disagree, too,
because I think
852
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,415
what it's truly about...
853
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,455
...is this is a community that...
854
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,375
...every clay,
I'm like a broken record.
855
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,935
I say, "Share
this trauma with this community
856
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,855
"and it will ease the burden".
857
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,015
Ancl from my experience,
that's what happens.
858
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,575
Ancl I'm out here every single
night, every single clay
859
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:22,935
meeting these people.
860
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:29,655
It's about people and them
fucking screaming out.
861
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,775
Ancl everyone else is taking
the burden.
862
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,455
Ancl I always say,
"If you've ever felt this way,
863
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,175
"or you are carrying this,
864
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,735
"leave it in the room tonight
and meet someone",
865
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,255
because that's the difference.
866
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,375
It's not like, they're not
there to be, like,
867
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,815
"Hey, man, I can't wait till
he plays the banger".
868
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,335
It's to meet people. It's to go,
"You're like me. I feel like shit.
869
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,535
"It's 2am and my clad is
smashing up the kitchen again.
870
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,455
"My dad's misgendered me again."
871
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,295
It finds a sense of family
and a sense of belonging.
872
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,655
And, yes, it's a business.
Yes, it's a thing.
873
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,855
Like, I'm not saying it's not,
874
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,895
like, I love it if,
when we, when we go number one.
875
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,935
I think that's amazing.
Every clay I go,
876
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,615
"Look how big we're getting".
Like a big cuddle.
877
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,295
Like it's going to be all
right, man.
878
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,095
You know what I mean? That's,
like, genuinely what it became.
879
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,295
How are you doing?
880
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:21,895
I think we covered a lot of bases.
881
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,175
I appreciate you telling my story.
882
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:28,135
Yeah. Because a lot of people
don't like me
883
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,095
cos they don't understand me,
I think.
884
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,735
I appreciate you giving me
an opportunity to maybe change
885
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,655
some people's minds. Definitely.
886
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,455
I think people don't see
how real it is.
887
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,135
Yeah, that's, that's, that's
the thing, I think.
888
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,415
I think that is the biggest,
the biggest thing.
889
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,015
Oh, thanks. A nice embrace. Yeah.
890
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,375
You all right, Dom?
891
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,135
I'm all right, man, are you?
892
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:52,535
What's going on?
893
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,055
I don't know. I'm quite drunk,
I'm having a shower after a show.
894
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,655
I mean, I have got a pretty big
penis. I mean, I'd get it out,
895
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,055
but, you know what I mean, I don't
want to make you uncomfortable.
896
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:04,815
I'm just completely comfortable.
897
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,415
I'm not looking down.
898
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:09,815
The thing about it is that
899
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,495
you wanted an uncensored,
untapped interview of Yungblud.
900
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,375
Well, this is Yungblud.
