Louis Theroux Answers Your Questions | Actually Me
Ойын-сауық
Louis Theroux joins British GQ in Actually Me, as he goes online to answer the internet’s questions. The British-American documentarian responds to questions from Twitter & Reddit, as well as replying to KZread, TikTok & Instagram comments.
Louis Theroux reveals how he came up with the now-legendary ‘Jiggle Jiggle’ rap, which took the internet by storm after an appearance on Amelia Dimoldenberg’s ‘Chicken Shop Date’ KZread series. ‘The money is jiggling-jiggling, hence wiggling-wiggling has quite a straightforward auditory association,’ says Louis Theroux. ‘I tell you what it isn’t… It’s not an exotic lounge scenario, where I’m flinging my money at the dancer.’ Watch the full episode as Louis Theroux goes undercover with British GQ in Actually Me.
The brand new Spotify Exclusive Podcast, ‘The Louis Theroux Podcast’ is available to stream now on Spotify, with new episodes landing every Tuesday.

You know, I'm honestly surprised that Louis Theroux took a moment out of his busy schedule of being a Lovecraftian hivemind to do this. What a guy, am I right?

I agree with that somewhat, but if you've seen his interviews, I'm sure you have, his demeanor is always calm, friendly and approachable. That seems to be his personality, rather than trying to trick his interviewee into opening up. He's has a benevolent personality, which lowers peoples guard.
I love how analytical he is over every detail, even when it comes to reading tweets. Brilliant bloke!
Glad Louis is getting his due. The guy was making shows 20+ years ahead of his time - and was making them better than our generation can.

@@timmasters1195 this statement is incredibly dismissive of the work theroux has done to turn taboo subjects into popular discussion. personally i don't think there's been a better gonzo journalist for a long time. also comparing him to a comedian and a children's programme just because they're popular is a bit of a dumb take to say the least.
Louis is so brilliant and interesting. I could listen to him talk all day ❤

The exec at the Beeb who put his name in the title of his first gig was insightful, the way Louis describes it I can easily picture how it happened along with the thought processes going on. Great interview.
Absolute living legend, was able to access people that would not otherwise open up and all through his beguiling innocent like charm that belies a sharp investigative mind. I like that he name checked Stacey Dooley too, she's cut from the same cloth
I saw Louis on the tube in London recently and was awkwardly gawping at him for a moment as I confirmed it was him and then considered going up and saying something. Let’s hope him looking back at me a few times wasn’t him thinking that scientology was back on him. I’m sure his departure at the next stop was unrelated.

I wouldn't worry. Sure it happens to him all the time. He's used to it by now.
Louis is very clever and has studied political philosophy and understands how circumstances affect individuals so he listens, really listens. He probably helps people improve.
Exotic lounge scenario and Norwegian cruise ship singer audition….hilarious, the man’s a legend
Funny how he was suprised that the BBC wanted to use his name, but seems to have forgotten that his father is a famous writer ... who got famous by writing many bestselling books about going to strange and interesting places and interviewing strange and interesting people ...

But people don’t necessarily link them. They don’t necessarily assume all the famous Theroux’s are related (even though they kinda all are what with Justin Theroux being his cousin and Marcel Theroux being his brother…)
This man is an icon at this stage. Love him.
His new podcast is really good, it’s nice he’s producing content in a different manner but still having his great interviewing skills. Hope his eyebrow recovers from his alopecia.

I'm quite curious if Louis Theroux has heard the Tom Cardy song named after him. I'd be interested in hearing his thoughts on it, if he has.
"if you take a chill pill" i love this dude
I simply adore this man
I've heard covers of his rap song randomly and it always makes my day
We know he's brilliant, for sure a national treasure. But I also love how he will raise others up so genuinely, whether its a grime artist or a fellow interviewer.
What a fabulous man, a true icon by ever sense of the word.
The analogy with saurons eye was great👍
Hip-Hop Connection is something I’ve not heard of for a long time. A long time. I worked on their website. We called it Hip-Op Connection in the office, but mostly when joking about the other chap who worked on the site with me who we affectionately called Grandad.

I was so heart broken before watching this and then Louis saved the day. Need me a man like Louis 😮💨
"Inscribing your life on to destiny" - I love that. Louis remains as wonderful as always.
that was really interesting 👍🏻
If you had never seen Louis in anything you would never think he would be so great on camera.
This was great
"Distinctive, that's better" I love this man and the pragmatic way that he sees through the cognitive disonance and conditionng 👏
Weird Weekends is some of the best television ever produced.
I'd never heard of Louis until the Tom Cardy song "Get Louis Theroux it" but i like him!
Let's go Louis! I was like name drop Dave and he did!! My respect has sky rocketed! 👊
Been a fan ever since I moved to the UK in the 90s and watched Weird Weekend, the branding worked.
This man is genuinely good in every hood.
Louis shouting out Nines and NW10, big up 🔥
3:20 the answer is Pete and Bas
Absolute legend
my love for this man is immeasurable.
I have all the DVDs of him and i think the Jimmy savile one is the best doc
2:46 cant be worst than theater audition you did for that broadway episode 😁
Last xmas eve I arrvied at my mums for the holidays and she proceeded to make us watch a Louis doco on THE P*RN INDUSTRY for the next few hours. It was the most uncomfortable and funny xmas eve we've had in a while. 😂

He clearly hasn't heard of REN yet as he is probably the best British musician now and for the future.
ateez is coming to the UK the 8th November, y'all should get them here again for some content ! + they have a comeback soon so it can be fun
I wish he could stop being so goddang adorable for 2 minutes.
I think the closing remark of people he's interviewed being actors in their own drama is a selection bias, they're the ones being interviewed. Lots of people out there that happily take a supporting role, or even a behind the scenes role in life :)
I love Louis
Haven't missed a Louis documentary yet and I never plan to.
Louis Theroux is the goat
I love that he wants a tattoo of himself 😂
3:01 obviously it’s Loyle Carner, those guys are talented but aren’t even close. Then probably Little Simz. If it’s “of all time” then Roots Manuva has to be in there too.
Surprisingly deep hiphop knowledge
"that's to do with the wiggling, not the jiggling" :D

I'd have liked to ask Louis his impressions of Elliot Smith.
“I also enjoy seeing your sexy moves” 😂
I was beginning to feel omnipotent.
Nines! Yes Louis.
I'd like Louis to get a tattoo of Park Ranger Louis 😅
Real ones know him from “only money that I want” 🇿🇦
That is one fresh shirt Mr Theroux is wearing.

I’m going undercover…IT’S ME ! (Love Louis )
