Boy George: “I Used to Love Hating People…"

Описание: “I used to love hating people.” Now, Boy George says he actively chooses kindness.

This week, Boy George joins Fearne to talk about ego, jealousy, fame, grief and the mindset shift that changed everything. From embracing the Three Principles to tapping every morning, he explains how learning to pause before reacting helped him let go of resentment and feel lighter than ever.

He opens up about loving fame (and why he’d do it differently if he could start again), AI, and why “hating someone is completely pointless”. Boy George also shares moving reflections on his late mum, why he still talks to her daily, what it was like being with her when she passed, and how her spirit continues to guide him.

Plus, he discusses community, identity, spirituality, star signs, choosing compassion over chaos, and why being nice is actually a thrill.
