Скачать или смотреть Jordan Stephens: ‘Love can’t be intellectualised’

’I don’t think there’s anything braver in the world than somebody having their heart broken, then opening their heart again’.

Writer and performer Jordan Stephens – perhaps best known as one half of duo Rizzle Kicks – discusses the whirling, complex and often conflicting emotions brought about by his experience of, and attempts to understand, love.

In conversation with Africa Brooke, Stephens explores how his idea of what love is has evolved; from overthinking relationships in his twenties to finding a sense of oneness and ultimately allowing himself to surrender to the feeling.

He also touches on the worst kind of love – that involving people engaging through control – and why Andrew Lincoln’s character in Love Actually is arguably one of the worst men ever to be portrayed on screen.

This video is taken from Stephens’ appearance at our 2024 London Literature Festival introducing his candid and moving memoir ‘Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak & Dogs’.
