His mum's book "Cry Salty Tears" is a great read. What a strong woman who suffered under his dad's tyranny. Her love for George is palpable throughout.
I was born the year after Boy George and we went to the same secondary school - Eltham Green. He was the year above me but I dont remember him - but maybe played truant a lot. I know he hated school but I loved it. He might remember me as the artistic 14 year old with a moustache :). I lived not far from him and those sets brought back memories of my childhood. The wallpaper was vile, TVs small and adults smoked all the time. He has led a chequered life but I admire him for his personality and peseverance.
i love boy george It must be very emotional for him to be there A talented and unique artist adorably sincere and honest with his fans always Blessings to him🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
When George said he wanted to be loved it resonated so much. I think that’s all any of us who were known as “weird” or “different” have ever longed for. ❤❤❤ I love him so much … so he has accomplished being loved and millions of people have loved and continue to love him, too.
That first paragraph of your comment, about those of us who were known (and, in my case, bullied) for being weird or different carries such a profound meaning. Thank you for posting those words.
So nostalgic to watch , I grew up in the 70's so seeing a lot of the things surrounding boy George brought back memories for me too , the furniture, Jackie magazine , record players and vinyl (still play vinyl)and so much more . Love you George even now , your so funny , charismatic and down to earth 🌎
Absolutely. I'm the same age as George, and his life and my life back then wasn't much different at all. I was the rebellious, boisterous child of a no nonsense father and a seamstress mom. I lived in my own mind and imagination. I loved music and made it my career for a time. In the 80's, my style of clothes, music and life was very similar. I felt a connection and fell in love with Boy George and his music. Matter of fact, I just saw Boy George, Berlin and Howard Jones in concert a couple days ago. I'm here because I've become obsessed with him again. ❤
@@Prieze868 the middle park house they moved out of to the next house on Shooter’s Hill which is where I lived a few doors away & my daughters went to the little school opposite so we’d walk passed everyday & always prayed that I’d get a glimpse & I’d never have had the guts to knock on the door 🫣 ❤
Vinyls are special, the sleeve design & the print meant so much. Sifting through the record boxes ❤ The dust making it crackle a little😆 We had to take it in turns to choose a record & fight over who was going to put the needle on! If there was a song that had a swear word we’d play that bit over & over! Judge Dredd- Up with the Cock record was confiscated 😂🤣😅
Boy George is TV Gold! He has the courage to be himself and be cheerful. I completely relate to the triggers he experienced when returning to his Irish childhood home. People were only doing their best under difficult circumstances. Go George!
The reason I loved Boy George in the 70’s is the reason why I still love him. He was so funny, smart, truthful and most of all transparent…somethings never change, he did but not that much and only for the better ❤❤
The thing I've always loved about George is how despite his massive stardom and success, he obviously cares very much about family and staying true to his roots.
I love his mother sure strong lady ♥ not had an easy life, her and George together sure a strong bond between them.I lost my mother 12 years ago and miss her so much she liked George.
Blimey my mum's perents had that picture on their wall bk in the 70s and 80s, I so remember it. I was always told it looked like me lol. I can so connect with how George is feeling about going bk to his house. Feeling emotional.
Mr George, it was a pleasure watching your documentary.I have always enjoyed your music and your unique and powerful personality. You are an inspiration . Peace and blessings!

I Love it when George says.. 'alright Kev', and Kev goes ' alright bruv'... It's not often you see where George comes from. Class... What an amazin guy....
This documentary touring the house where George lived during his adolescence it's interesting and beautiful. In addition to imagining a bit what it was like to be a teenager in the 70s, fashion, hobbies, music. A great contribution, thanks for sharing.
A minha Mãe morreu faz 4 anos....deixei a casa e entrei numa depressão profunda. O meu caminho não tem sido fácil. Tenho muitas saudades da minha Mãe e das recordações que tive que deixar para trás. Ver o teu vídeo fico feliz por ainda poderes visitar a casa e tuas memórias de infância. Desejo-te toda a felicidade do mundo...és um ser com o coração no sítio certo. Amor de Portugal 🇵🇹
Émouvante plongée dans l’intimité de George, qui nous aide à mieux comprendre sa personnalité si riche et authentique, si attendrissante aussi ; on a du mal à quitter George quand la vidéo se termine, on se sent tellement bien, avec lui, c’est comme une évidence d’harmonie et de bien être ….. 👍❤️❤️❤️🤩🤗👏👏
This was touching and made me cry. An interesting experience to look Back and BE in the ACTUAL space we grew up in ( I have yet to do this, pictures alone are enough of a trigger) I definitely relate to your dysfunctional family dynamics😞
I inherited my mothers younger sister’s record player when I was a kid. It looked very much like the one George left carrying. Sadly I no longer have the original record player but I managed to find a similar one a few years ago. I still have all the vinyl that came with my aunts one though! I absolutely lived for music - it was my saviour then and it remains so to this day. Such a powerful trigger to old memories.
Gracias Boy George por compartir y, mostrar a donde vivias y lo humilde que eres!! Mi hermoso amgel de luz. 💗❤💓💋💘💘😍😍😍😘😘 como no admirarte, si eres increíble. 💋💋💋😘😘😘😘Todo mi amor para ti.
Watching this now brings back the childhood of boy george and his siblings. I find it so interesting. Thank you my love for sharing this. You're such an amazing creature. I so love you Boy George!...then and now. 😘😍
I love this man, so sharp and entertaining. Our office went on a coach trip to Belgium some years ago a d George kept us singing to Karma Chameleon all the way to Brussels. Thanks for the music George, a great favourite of mine.
OMG this was fantastic. Took me right back. Mum had that stew pot with the flowers on the side. It's amazing to realise that almost every household had the exact same things, no matter what race you were. BG is AMAZING I still fancy the pants of him 😝❤️
GEORGE you are a beautiful person inside and out.Your smile and laugh are beautiful too. You have a lovely mother and she loves you. Keep smileing xxxx
Last night I had a dream that I went back to a house we lived in in 1962 to 66, and I was being shown around by the elderly owners, turned the computer on and in 2 mins this came up. Old places where you had a life is like going back in time. Great show!
George should definitely do more of this sort of stuff his personality is fascinating. I remember feeling an outsider as a youngster but for different reasons to George I came from a broken home and just my Mum and no brothers or sisters, only kid in my school from dysfunctional family and was pretty so got bullied at school as I dressed in a way to feel older to protect myself and look for a father figure. Different situation but very similar feelings of feeling an outsider.
Thanks so much for the channel. I remember first seeing him on Top of the Pops with my family as a kid and my parents saying is it a man or a woman. I think Culture Club and a few other groups planted the seeds for my lifelong love of Reggae music. It’s not until years later that he’s getting the recognition he deserves. 🏳️🌈🪷🕉
I would hate to go back to my childhood home. I would be a total mess. Its taken me 45-50 years to find inner contentment and peace. It would take an absolute fortune to get me near the place . I feel for you Sir.
omg this was really emotional for me, that painting of the baby, we had the same one 😮 ❤ I can imagine what he must have felt walking into that house. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing somthing so personal, been Irish and brought up in very small terrace house with big family in the 90s, i can relate also to much of the family politics and dramas❤ you look great too George ❤
George I've always loved u and your talent from day one when u were interdusted to the US. God has been good to u . I know u don't think so. You are soo remarkable . My family came Wales and I understand. I love u and your talent. God will always bless u. I'm also catholic and I love and everything you've gone though. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ you are sooo strong so English. It makes tough!!!!
❤ l love how he so honest just himself doesn't try to be someone else. Its like what you see is what you get. Love him. God bless him love to have a cup of coffee with him and just chat with him ❤
Nice to see his family and his relationship them. It’s not always easy going back home, sometimes the memories can hurt, but can also help heal. Going back home for me personally isn’t anything that I ever want to do. I have been back many times because it was demanded, but now it’s been sold and I never need to return. I remember a sort of panic and anxiety as I drove into town. I’m very happy never to have to go back to that town or that house.
Wow We had the same old record player, sewing machine and land line phone. Farrah Fawcett etc Thanks 4 telling your story, happy and sad and mostly honest!
