The VERY handsome David Harewood! He’s one of Britain’s finest actors, but what I wasn’t expecting was quite how much this conversation would move me. </p><p><br></p><p>David speaks so openly about experiencing psychosis, being sectioned and the devastating impact that racism throughout his life has had on his mental health. I was incredibly moved by his honesty, strength and courage in sharing such difficult experiences, but also by the hope he has for a new generation of Black talent who he hopes won&#39;t have to face the same struggles.</p><p><br></p><p>We also talk about the heartbreaking loss of his best friend Lui, the realities of being a working actor and some of the rockiest moments in his career - from his first day on Homeland to the rather bizarre time he spent half a day working as a bailiff!!</p><p><br></p><p>And here&#39;s something I genuinely couldn&#39;t believe… David is currently starring in Channel 4&#39;s new crime drama Pierre, and it&#39;s his FIRST EVER leading role. How is that possible?!</p><p>Such an honest, moving and surprisingly uplifting chat. Thank you so much, David, for joining me!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>CREDITS</strong></p><p>Producer: Ross Whyatt</p><p>Assistant Producer: Lydia Brownell</p><p>Videographers: Harry Sawkins</p><p>Audio Engineer: Miles Wheway</p><p>Senior Social Media Manager: Laura Coughlan</p><p>Production Manager: Archan Mohille</p><p>Production Coordinator: James Cox</p><p>Head of Content: Ewan Newbigging-Lister</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Want your MAD, SAD or BAD dilemmas answered?</strong> Email us at msb@jampotproductions.co.uk</p><p>#MadSadBad #PalomaFaith #DavidHarewood #MentalHealth #Psychosis #Homeland #GenerationalTrauma #Podcast</p>","author_name":"JamPot Productions"}
