Lewis Capaldi drunk during interview on The Graham Norton Show

The singer was recently a guest in the British program The Graham Norton Show and very nervous about it. “That day I had been told that my song ‘Before You Go‘ was number 1 in Great Britain, so I had a lot of red wine down.” Lewis admits to being “quite drunk” during this television appearance. “Actually, the whole interview is a blur. I can’t remember exactly what I said.”

Fortunately, Lewis can laugh about it. He is therefore known for regularly poking fun at himself and he is not alone in this, he says. “Surprisingly many celebrities sometimes make a mess of themselves, you know. Just not when the camera is on. I think that’s part of it, that you present yourself perfectly. But I always joke at my own expense, I do that to everyone.”

There is a reason that he has a surprising amount of self-mockery, according to the singer. “It has to do with a lack of self-confidence and other insecurities anyway. But actually you should ask my therapist about this.”
