OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Theroux sees porn as “junk food”.
The ‘Forbidden America’ star admitted to being a “user of porn” while comparing it to consuming greasy or sugary foods for those periods in your life “when you can’t get a decent meal”.
The 51-year-old documentary-maker told Radio Times magazine: “In my life, of course, I’ve been a user of porn. I sort of see it as a bit like … maybe this sounds harsh, but it’s a bit like junk food, right?
“But there are times in your life when you can’t get a decent meal, or you’re in a rush, or you’re just trying to get a need met.”
The ‘Weird Weekends’ star – whose new BBC Two three-part series begins with an episode titled ‘Porn’s Me Too’ – confessed to not being “proud” of his appetite for X-rated content.
Louis – who is married to producer Nancy Strang, with whom he has three sons – said: “It’s not something you’re especially proud of using.”
Along with Tuesday’s (08.02.22) episode about the reckoning of the porn industry, the two other installments of his latest documentaries will explore some other issues affecting the United States, such as gun crime among Florida rappers and he meets far-right activist Beardy Beardson, who threw him out of an interview.
Louis has joked he thinks he would’ve been able to “handle” Beardson because he joined the nation in taking part in Joe Wicks’ YouTube PE lessons.
He said: “I’ve been doing a lot of Joe Wicks. He was a weedy little guy who spent a long time on his computer gaming.
“There aren’t many people of whom it could be said that I could comfortably handle them in a physical altercation, but I think Beardson may be one of the few.”
