Louis Theroux: âI worry about not coming up to scratchâ Louis Theroux. Styling: Tanja Martin. Grooming: Petra Sellge at the Wall Group. Clothes, all Gucci. Photograph: David Vintiner/The Guardian He made a film on Joe Exotic a decade before Tiger King, lulls interviewees into personal revelations â and can rock a leather suit. So why is he so anxious? Sat 10 Apr 2021 03.00 EDT âThereâs no getting away from the fact that, even aged 50, Iâm a slightly awkward person, a fearful person, worry-prone,â says Louis Theroux, wriggling in his seat. The film-maker picks up and puts down a coffee without drinking. He wears all blue: navy sweater, stock denim, one of those indestructible plastic Casio watches on his wrist. âI worry about what people think,â Theroux continues, âI worry about giving offence, being judged, not coming up to scratch, being thin-skinned.â
