Description

What is it like to be a Hollywood actor in a local supermarket?


Michael Sheen talks to Romesh about growing up Welsh, the chaos of being recognised in public, and the moment he chose to give back his OBE.


From family life in Port Talbot to blockbuster roles and activism, Michael reflects on the stories and values that shaped him — and why saying no to the Palace was as important as any role he’s ever played.


Along the way, there are plenty of laughs, sharp observations, and a few surprises that show a side of Sheen you’ve never heard before.
