Podcast cover

Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud

The podcast explores themes of self-perception, addiction, and the impact of childhood experiences on one's life and career. Actor Richard E. Grant discusses his childhood marked by his parents' dysfunctional relationship and his father's alcoholism, which led him to be drawn to addicts and drama. Grant also touches on his long-standing crush on Barbra Streisand, which began in adolescence and continues to this day, and how his wife encouraged it. He reflects on his career, particularly his role in *Withnail & I*, and his experiences in the fashion world, including walking in shows for Burberry and Miu Miu.
