Johnny Vegas has shared details of his battle with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a new two-part documentary following his public art project. The comedian, who graduated from art college 25 years ago, was filmed over four years as he created a sculpture for his hometown of St Helens.
Speaking about his diagnosis, Vegas described how comedy helped him cope with the condition. The documentary, airing on Channel 4 at 9pm, shows the comedian navigating his ADHD while working on the project alongside his 'longsuffering personal assistant' Bev.
Vegas, known for his distinctive stand-up style and acting roles, said the sculpture was a way to give back to the community that shaped him. The project marks a departure from typical celebrity art exhibitions, focusing on personal and local significance rather than commercial gain.
The documentary offers a raw and honest look at the comedian's struggles and triumphs, highlighting how his creative pursuits have provided salvation amidst his ADHD journey.
