“I’m anti social, I’m prickly, but I love people” that’s exactly me. Wow. He’s right, it feels good to know you’re not alone and not as weird as you think.
Same. 😅
Joe Gilgun is my favourite actor, not only do I love his work but he's also spoken candidly about mental health issues in ways that I have really identified with. I wish I knew him, he seems like such a stand up guy. Plus he swears as much as I do 😂 This is a great interview. 🖤
I completely agree. He is one
Of if not my favourite actor, not only that it’s the person he is that makes him so incredible. His bravery to speak so openly
About his personal struggles, which for
Most men of that
Age is so hard to do, makes him so important, Cos he will inspire other men to be
More open. He’s so normal and such a down to earth run of
The
Mill, British lad who’s showing others that mental health isn’t a stigma!!!
He’s lovely & incredibly talented. He talks about his childhood and it’s so relatable to so many working class families and he’s such a good role model for young ppl today. Bloody love him
The vest I've seen x
His brutal honesty is so endearing and him talking about this is just what the male population needs. These young lads need to be exposed to male role models who struggle with their emotional health and can still go on to be successful and lead fulfilling lives.
And Joe is looking mighty fine for 37!
All very true - cheers for the support💜
I’ve admired him since This is England came out and for over a decade, I’ll watch anything he’s in. I’d absolutely love to just talk to him all day and all night long. He’s an utterly fascinating person. Seth Rogan said he was the most interesting person he’d ever met.
I love watching interviews with Joe. He is SO charismatic, so relatable and so vulnerable in the candid way he always speaks to people. I could listen to him talk for hours. I do think it's admirable how humble he is and how proud he is of his roots, but I think it's such a shame that he doesn't recognise how talented and unironically intelligent he actually is. He's better at expressing himself than he realises. It's rare to see an actor be so frank about their mental health, and struggling with ADHD, BPD, depression and anxiety myself it's so important to have people vocalise those struggles and be able to incorporate them into their work. As debilitating as those things are they don't need to prevent you from pursuing your dreams, even if you have to navigate them a bit differently from others. He clearly understands how difficult it can be to regulate your emotions and see value in yourself without self destructing and it just makes him such a sincere person. He is such a delight and exactly the kind of guy you'd love to just go for a pint with and put the world to rights, because he has so much to say. And you would just be crying laughing. Thank you for discussing so many crucial topics and sharing this with us!
Thank you for being so open around your experience. I’m glad that this interview resonated with you🐝
Thank you for this interview. He's such a special person, and his perspective on mental health is so valuable.
Joe is a pure legend….one of the most genuinely nice decent honest blokes there is with buckets of talent to go with it.
So thankful to Joe & Edith for this interview. I've been fucking with depression for a few years now, those are the words that all of us needed. I've never related to anyone more than to Joe. Wholeheartedly admire all the honesty and simple truth from this lad. I wish in our world nowadays would be more people like him, more kindness, more love❤
I wanna hug everyone, who's struggling here. We're not alone, guys. Sending love to y'all from Russia❤
I could listen to him for days .
I spoke to Joe yesterday in Manchester I was stood with my little boy I turned round and said "Alreet woody" and he was like "Watch your little boy doesn't trip over his reins on his backpack there lad" Nice one Woody ❤️
You’re alright Joe it’s taken me till 40 to come to form some form of acceptance.
Spent years bitching about been dealt a bad hand now I’m just working on how to play the cards I’ve been dealt.
Thanks for been you 🤛
I got diagnosed with ADHD now, at 37. I've been living with my thoughts pinballing in my brain for nearly 4 decades, moods swinging like crazy, absurd impulsive decisions (i'm covered in tatts, and one REALLY SUCKS but it was the spur of the moment, heh) and abrasive anger, and self destructive attitude that i don't even perceive as such, literal panic everytime the phone rings 'cause I don't know what the person on the other side was, or could want (i still ask everyone to message me instead of calling) and it scares me. I forgot 17 whole months of my life cause i had a huge breakdown and can't remember a single thing, only that i'm still scared of my couch 'cause I know i spent most of my time vegetating there (just imagine a 37 YO scared of a damn couch). I'm the "smart kid that doesn't apply to her studies", like many kids are, and I still have to learn on my own a fuc*load of things like what a BPD reaction is , or why the heck I spent last morning crying my eyes out while asking myself why the heck I was crying my eyes out. We need information, we need actual diagnosis and we need to understand that getting through daily life with a brain that's constantly trying to sabotage you is a fucking nightmare, so we're not weak at all, and maybe we're not that broken either, it's just that what surrounds us is often too...rigid? Is this the right word? Not adaptable? I don't know. And now i gotta feed the cat or that gremlin's gonna eat me for dinner, also sorry for any mistake but English ain't my first language.
Joe Gilgun really explain BPD well. I suffer from it. You never feel like a whole person or a person worthy of love. We seem so eccentric and fun but theres a gory battle happening in our head. Thanks Joe. Good job repin the BPD folk.
Speaking as somebody with BPD who has a mum with BPD and also a sister with BPD for years I've been searching to find somebody who would understand me I gave up hope and then boom JOE GILGUN!!!! If I had a way to say thank you to you I would. I've always wanted to be an actor but thought there's no way as I can be so anti social but after watching you I've actually enrolled in uni.....all thanks to you. You're a very remarkable human being thank you so much for being so vulnerable and honest x
Joe gilgun is with out a doubt the most honest brilliant man to ever walk this planet! I home school my girls and mental health is something we learn daily. So my children grow to have empathy!
Joe gilgun you are the younger me pretty much. I have BPD and dyslexia I’m almost 50. I struggled all my life. I don’t like to be around people I like to be on my own most of the time.
Guy was simply sublime in Lockout (2012) and The Infiltrator (2016), among other stellar performances
He’s absolutely correct when he says each day always depends on how the mind is. Sometimes I’m good sometimes not so good. Each day is an experience.
Incredible interview. I love Joe, he is defo one of my fav actors for just how real he seems. Tell him if you ever see him again he has brought laughter, tears and warmth to me so I assume the world feels the same.
Known you since you were a kid Edith and its incredible what a wonderful woman you have grown into. Much love to you and your family x
Joseph Gilgun. I love you
In a world of people being their own public relations firms, it's so refreshing listening to someone with some transparency. Love your work, JG 💛👍☀🌻🌾
He is such a lovely and genuine guy and that's what makes him so lovable to those who are fortunate enough to meet him. ❤
My goodness, this film has been wonderful, I love brassic, especially Joe's character. I'm dyslexic, autistic, and most likely adhd, I feel like he's a kindered spirit, part of my tribe xxx
Thank you both xx If just one of us watches this a feels like we're not the only ones who's day to day can be a bit of an unpredictable fuckin minefield but it's OK I'm so glad he's so open about the reality of mental health issues. I lost 2 male family members to suicide last year and its not talked about enough 💙💜💙💜
I simply love him. He's so open and honest.
So many kids who mess about at school are neuro diverse. I've met many kids labelled disruptive who actually have adhd or autism. One kid couldn't read or write but when I asked him to tell me a story he had the most amazing imagination.
What a lovely interview with a fascinating man. I have my own problems and today is not a great day, but this really helped me. Thank you.
This is such an amazing interview. Thank you
Джозеф успехов тебе в твоем не лёгком путешествии!из России с любовью)
I love Joe Gilgun. I have MH issues and he’s an inspiration. Use to see him in town, never had the courage to have a chat with him. Huge regret
I hope you find some compassion for yourself in moments when you struggled to find the courage to go up to him - going up to any stranger can be difficult, we’re all human and sometimes it’s hard to say hello to someone new. Hopefully watching this video humanises him a little bit, he’s a really lovely guy and I’m sure would be grateful for the ‘hello’ - cheers for being so open, and I’m thankful for the comment ☀️
I’m diagnosed with bipolar disorder and when I am at my lowest point I come to this video and try to relate to someone going through the same thing it’s so hard to understand that you’re not on your own and this video helps me beyond belief if it wasn’t for Joe and this video I quite possibly wouldn’t be here
Thank you for sharing how helpful this video is to you in your harder moments. Big love💜
Great interview. I spent 4 years in Leeds and Joe reminds me of the straight forward kindness of the North.
Lots of wise words in this interview.
Thank you both I needed that & am sure I’m not alone.
I 100% agree that schools should be doing more emotional education, I know it would of massively benefited me, especially with everything like hormones, making friends etc going on
Joe ❤ I could talk to you for hours. We’d do each other’s heads in 😂 You have explained everything I feel and have felt to a T. And I single parent fulltime… it is HARD with this crazy head of mine. Loving your work ❤
What a lovely human
Love him in preacher
I love him ❤
He is incredible , thank gosh he exists .. most authentic person next to myself I’ve ever seen
Love this guy
Thank you both! It’s so refreshing to hear mental health be spoken about so raw and unapologetic Also dyslexia. Being dyslexic is a shit but I’ve leaned to “ride that wave” thanks jo🤣 and make it work for me. Let’s get talking kids! Seriously it’s really dose help ❤️
God, I LOVE this man! He’s just the most incredible and intelligent person I’ve ever seen in my life!💞👼🏻
Joe is always Joe. And that is one huge thing I love about him.
Love him💖

Feel you, Joe. I am an actress and I am multiple, autistic and bipolar too.

I rewatch this about once a month. Almost as a coping mechanism, Joe has such a calming effect on me. I find so many similarities with my mental health. This interview just makes me feel at ease so thank you ☮️💙
I’m so grateful to hear this works as a resource in your toolbox for self-regulation, that is my aim and it makes me happy that you’re able to calm yourself through this video. Big love and thanks for the comment🧡

Can I just say a massive, massive thank you to Joe for this! Especially the part where he actually acknowledges people that take care of people with mental health! 👏
Round of a f-ing applause!
It's soooo hard. And he is the only one I've heard acknowledge it. So thank you!

Have loved Joe in Preacher and Misfits - have just bought Brassic box set after a recommendation. I found this after searching for Brassic clips - I had no knowledge of Joe as a person until seeing this. Lovely man x
I love this guy x
I absolutely love Joe. He's such a genuine bloke
Such an informative perspective on how mental health is such a mixed bag. I can resonate with some so much of how Joe feels. Thank you for giving such a great response too. I subscribed instantly and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!

This was so great to watch. I loved this conversation and hearing the perspectives on mental health from people experiencing the difficulties of it and people having to witness the struggle as well. It's so good. Thanks for putting this out!
Thankyou! (:
Appreciate when a person with celebrity discusses one own mental health it help other to self assess. God bless the guy appreciate his talent and I am a huge fan of brassic... Much love from this side of the pond .... 🙏🏼✌🏼😎🗽
Ooooo just got to the tattoos in the head segment, and it is very relatable, I've had tattoos to relieve urges to self harm before, too. Bless you joe xxx
Brilliant interview. Congratulations to all those involved in this.
Looking forward for seeing more of your future content.
Thankyou☀️
I’m from the south in North America , no one where I live knows who he is but he’s my favorite actor and person in general 💗 I love how open he his about mental health and as someone who also struggles with learning disabilities and adhd he’s very relatable for me. Great interview!!
Appreciate the comment - 🧡 from England
Fuck, I’ve never empathized so much with an internet stranger. Joe, my dude, I feel a lot of what you say, especially the part about feeling like lots of work for other people. Thank you for using your platform to talk about mental health and promoting emotional intelligence. I’ve seen your work, and you’re talented as fuck. I wish you nothing but the best.
Also thank you Edith for this interview, this channel, and the organization. I’m not in the UK, but your work is so important. Keep it up and take care.
Joe you are such an honest inspiration, you are unique and that makes you someone we should all cherish and admire x
Powerful. Thank you.
No worries, glad you liked it!🐝
Brilliant 👏🏻
amazing and Talented Person wish you Joe health happiness and all the best from Russia with love💗❤️💗🇷🇺
I needed this
Wow😮 Joe, I share your BPD and ADHD. Suffered for years and diagnosed at 52. You describe your experience of life and others exactly as I see it. I’ve been a mental health professional but I’d feel it would be impactful to show my kids this video and then chat about it. Thank you 🙏 and yes it’s a fight
You can’t help but like this guy
Really enjoyed your interview - really made me feel stronger about how i feel & has given me some courage to be honest about myself so I can hopefully get some help. Sort of ran away from it years ago and just couldn't face it.
Hi Simon, glad you enjoyed the video! It’s lovely to hear that it has encouraged you towards personal growth - Thank you for sharing your experience, it’s great to hear you’ve found the strength towards being more honest with yourself and others around you. Warmest gratitude, Edith
he is one of my favorite actors, but now I like this guy even more, as a person.
Seems so down to earth. Would love to sit and have a chat with Joe. On my level really. I feel him when he says he'd like to be the out there guy and go out..I feel ya there mate.
The best interview I have ever seen!! It was so calming and educational by the way. Love the way you two talked about very important things in our lives like mental health, emotions, love and kindness and people who struggles with different disorders. There are so crucial topics for all of us. Jo is the best actor for me and he brings a lot to this world at least make people laugh and his creativity to make such TV series like Brassic! And I also like the interviewer, the style and very soothing voice 🥰
Aw mate what a sweet comment - Thankyou, cheers for the support and have a lovely day☀️🧡
Listened to every word - I just luv Joe, he’s honest and open. Great insight, thank you ❤
Thanks for opening up Joe. Agree with practically everything you've said. Keep going mate

Absolutely love Joe gilgun and his honesty. Wish there were more humans in the World like this..... ❤
Awesome video ! Thank u both ❤️ love from 🇫🇷
Thank you - big love and appreciation on your comment and view 🧡🎃🏵
Love Joe Gilgun, great interview. I did that same exercise as you during Scottish First Aid For Mental Health training with a hearing voices network charity and it was truly unnerving, really gives you an insight into how much of a mind f**k it must be to hear voices whilst going about your day to day life. So hard to concentrate. The girl who was sat in front of me made it worse as when I put my hand to my ear when the guy was twittering things to me and said “ohmygod” she gave me a weird look and went “what are you doing?” - awful experience even though it wasn’t real, great way to educate about it though!!
Thanks for the comment! Appreciate the response and yes, the activity was really eye opening to how some people may experience daily life - cheers for the response 🐝
