Jack Whitehall: From Fangirling Over The Rock to Fatherhood

Описание: Jack Whitehall joins Romesh for a fast, funny and surprisingly candid chat that jumps from his early stand-up days and cringe-inducing “Danny Dyer” phase to his darkest acting role yet in Malice. He talks about prepping to play a manipulative villain, juggling that mindset with new-dad life, fangirling over The Rock on Jungle Cruise, blowing auditions, and navigating the circuit as the posh kid everyone expected to hate. They also get into panel shows, parenting, their unexpectedly famous parents and why teenagers insist stand-up is “dead”.

A Ranga Bee Production in partnership with Listen.
