One of those celebs is musician Pete Doherty, who Theroux says really \u201csurprised\u201d him, due to his \u201csoul-bearing\u201d nature.<\/p>\n
Speaking of Doherty, whose episode will air on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer on Tuesday 14th November, Theroux said: \u201cThere was quite a lot that I was surprised by.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was surprised by how funny he was, I was surprised that (maybe I shouldn\u2019t haven\u2019t been) his recovery still seemed precarious, and I would say that maybe I was sort of surprised by his level of openness.\u201d<\/p>
He continued: \u201cI suppose everyone curates a persona that they present in public and I\u2019m sure he does as well, but his curatorial choice seemed to be that he\u2019ll speak about anything. Occasionally he deflects a bit, but I never felt that he was especially unwilling to talk about stuff, so it\u2019s a very soul-bearing interview.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unlike Doherty, Theroux says it was \u201cchallenging\u201d to get the boxer to be \u201cvulnerable\u201d<\/a>, admitting that underneath Anthony\u2019s public character as an athlete there\u2019s \u201ca lot of vulnerability and certain levels of pain\u201d.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s someone who has\u2026 I don\u2019t know if this is true, but I think for boxers in general, I think he\u2019s someone who has a sense of how he needs to express himself, which is this inspirational, but vaguely sort of rooted in self-empowerment and self-help ways of thinking,\u201d Theroux explained.<\/p> \n
