Larry Lamb: Damaged people are dangerous because they know they can survive

Larry Lamb: Damaged people are dangerous because they know they can survive

Known to millions as Mick Shipman in Gavin & Stacey and Archie Mitchell in EastEnders, Larry Lamb has lived a life far more complex than any character he’s played. From a fractured childhood in postwar London, to becoming one of Britain’s most familiar faces- his story is one of survival, resilience and transformation.

In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O’Brien sits down with Larry to explore the lesser-known journey behind the fame. Larry speaks candidly about the trauma of growing up with an abusive father and shares the unexpected twists that took him from oil rigs and sales jobs to amateur theatre and eventual stardom.

Moving, measured, and full of reflection, this conversation offers a rare window into how we carry our past, and how it can shape- without defining- the people we become.
