I Didn’t Deserve to be Cancelled - Brotherhood and Bulletproof Actor Noel Clarke Tells His Story 

Another great interview James ,met Noel once at a funeral ,a family member was on the cast of brotherhood ,who sadly committed suicide ,Noel came and paid his respects . He has every right to clear his name ,great guy .

Anyone can tell this is 100% real talk! He puts his hands up on situations! Other people would lie on everything! NOEL, your a legend

Love Noel! The only actor to get cancelled that truly pissed me off, bulletproof was my fav show!! It’s crazy that this is allowed to happen to people, hope he makes it back on tv😫

This is an eye opener for all these people who cast judgement without facts or evidence. Well done Noel for staying strong for your family & yourself.

I'm so happy to see Noel coming out and saying his side . Unfortunately, you find out who your true friends are . He is such a clever man who has so much more to give and has been cut by the cancel culture with absolutely no evidence, no police involvement, etc. Keep positive, Noel ✨️

Noel Clarke has achieved so much and is by far one of the uk’s best actors I’ve ever seen, ride the storm brother and please come back to television! 💙

This going to do numbers,big up James you the man. I got mad respect for Noel 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿

Its difficult explaining yourself when people have already made their minds up about you. Its an uphill battle where no matter what you say it can be taken the wrong way.

It’s like he’s living the adulthood story now. Still one of my fav actors and directors. And he still looks like he did back then in adulthood

Noel BIG respect, i have a 10 year old son (single parent) and if he’s a anything like you i’d be one proud mama. He loves all the things you do. Keep not caring about others options. Big up to the power of the neurodivergent mind, total super power ❤💪

Hey James hats off man. Thank goodness Noel has finally been given an opportunity and a platform to tell his story. I really hope the truth now finally comes out. Noel has not tried to hide behind anything. The truth will be out and hopefully he'll be back on top. Superb podcast James. Good luck going forward and thank you for such an amazing piece of work.

Noel you will look back on this difficult period and see that this shaped you like all your previous experiences, everyone deserves to share their side and big up to James for giving you the platform to do so. Great watch, I wish you the best. Love from Manchester 🤜🏻🤛🏾

From the get go, I looked at 2 hours 40 mins and was put off but the way Noel holds a conversation and tells his story is great and it's good to see James so into this conversation. Alot of the time the guests back story lasts 10 15 minutes then it's down to the main topic. Great conversation guys thoroughly enjoying this.

Another outstanding interveiw James English. Its disgusting that people can lose everything and never been found guilty of a crime

NAME AND SHAME FALSE ACCUSERS ,, ITS ABOUT TIME XX

James you gave Noel space. Respect overdue. He’s complex, dealing with immense trauma, and he’s a square peg in a system that will batter you if they don’t like the cut of your gib. Noel’s fought relentlessly. The strength of this guy is immense. We all go wrong at times, and he’s recognising and holding his hands up to his mistakes. Fair do’s. His hounding is a gang up, it’s jealousy and it’s systemic. He’s been physically and mentally defending himself from time. Good that he’s used this platform to bring context. Well done, and I really hope Noel’s moving ahead. I recognise all of what he’s talked about. Big ups. 💜

I was riveted from start to finish, well done James and I'm glad Noel gave us his side of the story, didn't realize so much skulduggery went on behind the scenes, let's hope he's vindicated and we see more of his work.....👍👍👍

No way he is 47 the guy looks good, and let's be honest the movies he made paved the way for a whole generation, there was never a movie like kidulthood, probably wouldn't be a topboy now if it weren't for what he done

It's good to hear this, because how can someone be accused so publicly and nothing happens. It's good he's still fighting. This type of thing happens more often than one thinks.

Brilliant interview and disgusting how he has been canceled. James great work as ever

Bulletproof is a series that you can go back too no matter how many times it's been watched.... Fire 🔥

Wow what’s happened here is actually criminal, I hope life turns Noel’s way now as this is so so wrong. His honesty is a breath of fresh air in a world of manipulation. The industry needs to acknowledge their part and correct it! Another great podcast James!

The truth always prevails! Noel keep your head held high, keep strong & fighting! They can't destroy your integrity and your worth. You are an amazing actor and raw talent....you will be back! ❤️

Big support for Noel, 100% believe him. Someone said to me recently "Liars never prosper" so keep being you, I hope you get back on TV!! You're missed

I've been in absolute tears. We all struggle, but it's always the ones with the hearts suffer the most. James & Noel, I love you brothers ❤

Wow! this interview has completely changed my views on Noel Clarke. Ive never really liked him so of course when the stories came out, I wanted to believe them . But now after watching him talk for over 2 and a half hours, I want to be his best mate. I never realized quite how talented he is. The way he presented himself on this interview has won me over to the point of feeling guilty for my original view of him. Noel, I hope to see a lot more of you on the screen because your talent is a gift to all of us. Well done on this Interview James. You have set the template on what a modern interviewer should be. This is up there as one of my favourites.

How can you destroy a man’s life with no criminal convictions?, crazy world.

So great to hear from Noel , feel for him doesn’t deserve this. Hope he’s back on screen soon. Legend x

I've no idea if he is guilty or not. Great podcast. If he is innocent that must be the worst feeling ever, couldn't be accused of anything worse

I have ADHD, all I can see is this, impulsiveness, creative, always able to get where you want to be. Noal I never doubted you & your realness just shows how genuine you are. I believe your come back will be better than your success you already had..you got this 💪

This man literally shaped my childhood fam. THANK FOR WHAT YOU DID FOR ENGLAND NOEL ! My entire generation and MORE loves you man

Considering the met police decided to do absolutely nothing about all those accusations made is testament that he shouldn't be cancelled. I hope he rebuilds and becomes bigger, better and stronger than he has ever been. Too many people believe anything these days. People are just so easily influenced by main stream media and the powers that be. Get yourself independent bro and never forget those people who done you over cos you'll pass them whilst you're on the way up, just as they are on their way down. Wish you all the best for the future bro. Good luck.

James thanks for giving him a chance to explain in a world where it’s soo easy to accuse someone and to cancel

Thank you for a fantastic, honest heartfelt interview with Noel Clarke. This guy is a British Legend, who made impossible moves in life, achieved great things and also springboard some of UK best talents internationally. He does not deserve the treatment that was dished out. There is always some, hateful, unhappy and jealous person, who sits behind a desk, pen or laptop spreading malicious narratives, its becsuse they envey another persons energy, gifts, or personality. When you speak up for your truth or rights people always want to put there foot on your neck and destroy you. To destroy someones 20 year career is a crime in itself. Those person responsible will pay, cause God sees/hears all things and examines the heart/ vibration of mankind. Stay strong, what is for you they cannot have. Its a shame because USA is more racist, but it allows people of colour to excell in all sectors of life. UK has a more underhanded racist attitude where they will never let a person of colour excell beyind that glass ceiling. Its a shame because internationally, they are not progressive in any shape. Compared to US, they are so behind in every aspect, e.g. professions like..police, military, judges, white coller jobs CEOs, directors, , arts, culture, sports, millionnairs, billionnairs. Even though they want people to think of UK as inclusive. They are still stuck at ... in 1966 .... The face of Britain is white at all levels, even though other cultures have contibuted to its, society, i hope Noel is stronger for this life lesson and honerated, and go on to do, bigger and better things that the universe has aligned for him.

❤ my heart goes out to this talented man can't believe all the shit they have put him through hope hes back doing his thing soon and great interview james x

All that has happened aside, he's a great talent who changed modern British cinema. The 'Hood' films were a cultural phenomenon.

Brilliant interview genuinely believe this guy needs to be back doing what he does best in the industry and fair play he’s had the therapy to be composed and honest

James this is most probably the best podcast you have done in my eyes❤ Real, true and so deep Keep doing what your doing James who ever comes to you to do a podcast opens up and tells it all. UK’s 1 podcaster without doubt

I’ve recently been through something similar and always been an inspiration to me and got me through some very dark times. Noel I never believed it. Thank you for tell me a story.

This guy one of the best actors I have ever seen hopefully he gets his life back great interview James

42:00 - loved that - “You can film whatever you want that day but I’m not going to be there.” MASSIVE respect to him for that. It would be different if he did not give them notice but he told them BEFORE securing the job. He put his family first and not everyone would be able to do that in that situation.

Ive been waiting for Noel to speak .He hasnt let me down Absolutely brilliant conversation /interview GQ and Guardian shame on you Disgraceful behaviour by media and so called colleagues Jealousy success greed and agenda culminated in the attempted destruction of a good hard working man Keep the faith brother the truth will come out

Seeing you go through this breaks me,how can people not see how much determination he has ,always hoping to see you back on the screen .don’t ever give up 💪

Love this guy, I'm sure he'll be back better than before. Wish him all the best for the future.

What a great interview Noel came across very well. A perfectly imperfect human like all of us. Moving forward wherever the road leads I wish him and his family happiness.

Great interview, absolutely disgusting how he's been treated & a top actor & been in some fantastic stuff, hopefully he gets his day in court 💪💪💪💪💪

Well done James what a brilliant podcast this poor lad has been treated so badly no way is he like that he's a family man kind hearted

Noel Clarke is so intelligent. I could listen to him all day. I hope everything works out for him and his family 🦋

Awesome podcast James! Start to finish i loved this one. Massive fan of Noel, I'm someone who doesn't read papers or watch TV at all and I had no idea about any of this. I'm so sick of these accusations, and defirmation with people jumping on the band wagon with literally no gain to themselves at all aside from ruining someone's life...how broken and sad they must really be, pity is all I feel for these people. What I have learned is that 'difficult' in 'the industry' means you know your worth and you refuse to accommodate disrespect! Don't ever stop being that guy. ❤

That was the fastest 2hr40mins ever, it had me captivated, stand with Noel, can’t believe they took away his life with zero evidence, really hope he can come back from this.

Been a fan of Noel since I was a kid watching doctor who. So disappointed when this came out, but glad you finally had your say. Hope all gets resolved and you’re back on top.

People definitely need to go to jail for this. He needs compensated AND a public apology. Just shows the power of the media and how they can completely destroy someone's life with absolutely no proof, just dislike for someone who's done nothing but good.

Noel Clarke certainly has done rounds across podcasts, I find his character changes depending on who he speaks, he definitely came across as more vulnerable / humble here,,,, a credit to you James

Noel is a good guy you can tell. He may have done some things that weren’t ideal, but who hasn’t? Hope he’s able to rebuild. Good interview James.

I’m so glad I watched this!! I was like many so guilty of believing the headlines before Noel Clarke had his chance to speak! Thank you James for never avoiding the avoided to shine truth and light on the people who need it the most ❤️

Noel should never of been cancelled he done what they say he has why he don't get arrested

My sister was an extra on one of his shows, said he and Ashley were real creeps, making inappropriate jokes to her and made her feel very uncomfortable. That industry uses and controls people, if you do anything they can use against you, eventually they will. Dont worry, just like every other actor that acts like a prick, do your penance, prove to them you know your place, and you'll be back.

This has been by far the most incredible interview I've ever listened too. Huge credit to Noel for coming across so genuine & sharing such deep emotions about what spurred him to where get got. Huge inspiration dude.

Hands down the best interview you have done so far! Good luck noel the truth shall prevail! Well done James keep up the good work

I love the fact James allows his guests to talk. Piers Morgan, take note!!

Waited for this for years , never believed a word off the BS about him. Followed the guy on Twitter for years he’s a top fella. Hoping he has the bright future he deserves.

Absolute pure class. Well done to both of you 👏👏👏

It was great listening to you Noel. You cannot change yesterday but you can change tomorrow.

Excellent interview. Heartfelt and honest. 👏🏻

just watched the 1st half hour and already relating to my own demons and upbringing..... just shows no matter our race or area we grew up in we fight the same struggles...... thank u r kid.... respect Noel

Thought I’d give it a watch over a few days but watched it in one go. Go get them Noel and get back to what you do best. Every boss is entitled to get peeved if people are late, not pulling there weight it’s life it’s not bullying. All the best.

Well done James for letting Noel speak. Absolutely disgusting that there are people who willingly lie and are willing to ruin Noel’s life! Stand strong Noel, the Truth will OUT! I believe in you. Can’t wait for your next work. Hugs fella. Stay strong 💪🏽 ❤

Thank you for giving this guy a platform James 🙏🏻

It’s weird because I was thinking of Noel Clark literally a few days ago . At first it went adulthood then thinking specifically about him and what happened to him . The crazy part is I don’t think we’re so different after hearing him speak and have had some similar struggles . Crazy how life works

It's crazy how Jimmy saville who was guilty wasn't cancelled yet an absolute normal hardworking guy like this has had his career cancelled. Followed Noel from day 1 and used to see him around Cardiff when he was filming Doctor Who nice guy

Brilliant interview James so sad what happened to Noel such a talented actor and such a nice man I wish him all the best for the future

Great podcast James. I loved his work, outstanding. He seems to so honest, not blaming racism solely and the class and elitism (like cricket!!) he is telling his story and anyone else’s. His honesty is brutal and refreshing. Let’s hope the truth comes out and he can get back to not accepting what he is told and making it work. Love to you Noel.

This is so sad, thank for sharing and what a stressful incident to go through, no one deserves this. You will rise again, you have the drive and determination.

great interview & its great Noel is now getting his side of the story out there & alot of it makes sense, you'll still get them idiots who want to see him fail or whatever but genuinely think he's telling the truth & i think this whole situation was created & blown out of proportion by people who are jealous of Noels success & want to see his career die.

Big up Noel I believe him man. Nobody’s an angel but clearly haters wanted to bring him down a peg

James, honestly your Podcast is a voice for all those who need to be heard. You are brilliant at what you do with your questioning and reasoning. Feel for Noel, his truth in a film would be epic.

Realest guy ever. Noel never deserved what he went through!! He is such a lovely guy aswell, anyone who is a fan will no this. You message him and he always takes the time to reply to you. The things he went through, his family, his children because of lies.. the people who TOLD these lies inc the people who are 'in the public eye' need to be held accountable and publicly apologise. You can see how broken he still is.

Raa didn't realise Noel was 47..my man looks well young

'I'm Like the anomaly in the Matrix! (Spot On!) Get Your Pen Out and Write - This is the backdrop to Your Next Movie - What You are here for! Noel, Get Up and Start Walking ❤️x

Noel you are one of a kind ❤ so talented. Can't even be polite these days you get accused of flirting. I genuinely believe you, never doubted you, never stop being yourself. TopG Love that James got you on. Your up there Noal Clark , don't give up 🙏❤ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Forget Parkinson . One of the best honest interviews ever

Can't wait to see this James you always get to the truth,and you never judge this is what makes you the best at what you do... Long may it last❤

What a humble man im sure he will push on with his career 👊🏻

Great interview, he’s a very clever guy and has shown incredible strength to overcome what he has gone through. Great interview James keep smashing it pal 👍🏻

Great to hear Noel's side of the story. James you're an excellent interviewer. It was great that you gave Noel the chance to give his side of things, & you gave him the time to speak without talking over him. He was diplomatic but, I felt people wanted to bring him down as, he was too powerful for a black man. In my opinion it wasn't a coincidence the allegations came out when he was due to accept a major award. He was doing great things for the community, I hope he'll be able continue again.

I’ve known Noel for a long time and I’m going to meet and talk with James one day soon. Respect to both of them for this.

"I was reading Vagina Monologues when my mates were still laughing at the word" 2hr.07 m.13 secs. Classy 👌🎩.

I didn't even realise he got cancelled, gonna have to Google this now. Brilliant writer and actor.

Love this guy.. so talented. Love from Scotland guys. Well done James getting him on.

James dose it again with a excellent podcast. I wish all the best to Noel in future and beyond 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Grew up knowing this man as Micky from Doctor Who! Loved that character,was brilliant to see Noel blossom in later years with bigger roles!! Glad hes making a comeback from the cancel

Noel is legend! Talent is talent, I think people probably jumped on the bandwagon and wanted a payout! We look forward to hearing from you in the future....Everything in its time, but Noel will be older and wiser. In life people change and become envious. Just do you I wish you all the best x

Don't know him,like his movies and TV shows ,I'm sure this will be another superb podcast. I personally believe he's telling the truth.

The guy Noel is referring to that can’t be named is the actor Adam Decan who was also in kidulthood and adulthood.

🔥 guests as always.

Great podcast. A lot of similarities between this and Tommy Robinson podcast. You can’t tell these guys what they can and can’t do. Cos they don’t care what you think. But you can be sure they will put everything into standing up for themselves and proving people wrong. Both very smart and unbelievably driven.

James your channel is so important for men in particular. Watching men (and women) open up the way the do and show venerability is a breath of fresh air from the macho persona these men would otherwise show. Another great interview thank you both.

I’ve just watched this (late to the game) and my heart broke when Noel cried. I’ve always liked him, met him a few times and I didn’t believe a single word of these stories came out. I hope he manages to come out on top after all of this.

Great guest, it will be good to hear Noel’s side of the story. Good work 🙌🏾

I feel this man's passion and pain.its impossible to understand what's going on when the others have a different agenda! Fake malicious people will always and have always baffled me.this is the best person you've had on James! Ps I think this guys got aspergers from a person who knows!
