Joan Collins and Louis Theroux interview

Sussexborn the difference is that Boris is an outsized character (in every way). Jeremy Corbyn, you wouldn't notice if he sat next to you on the bus.

Thanks Lucky - just shows I shouldn’t ask if I haven’t seen the programmes

My main point which I feel sure you share, is how “the industry” and journalists kept quiet on this open secret

Can't believe how we come to be talking about Savile or Boris Johnson on a thread about the Joan Collins interview. As far as looks are concerned, I wish at 71 I looked as good as she does at 90! She must be fed up with all the catty comments she's had to ensure during her career. Go Joaney! Glamour like it used to be. No fish lips or Groucho Marx eyebrows for her!

Amazing, isn't it. There was no reason for this thread to veer off course.

Yes, I don't think I look that good and I'm a few years younger.

Mind you, I never looked as good as Joanie to start with 😁

Sorry I'm veering it of course, just to say Isaw the Pete Doherty interview last week, heavens, that druggy slip of a boy has morphed into middle age now having kicked drugs, good for him! New addiction French cheese, clearly worse than heroin it's turned his face into the size of a pumpkin [shock} Bet Joanie doesn't touch the stuff given she looks younger than Pete, does now, well from a distance she does and if you haven't got your glasses on!

-of- off

I didn't see it but I'm quite surprised people think she's had cosmetic procedures as I've read a number of times that she hasn't (not that it's a problem if she has).

I remember reading about her very strict health and beauty regime - getting up 2 hours early every day when she was filming to ensure she did her exercises and her skincare regime. Bed at regular times and skin care before bed. She was very strict about what she ate and drank, rarely touching alcohol, and very open about wearing wigs. She looked a bit doddery on her feet last time I saw her, but her brain was a sharp as ever and she was very down to earth.

Why would those questions (about the Swiss) not be asked here? They are no more irrelevant than much of the stuff discussed here.

They are very relevant on many threads.

Absolute nonsense. This site has nothing to do with Switzerland. I asked a question about Joan Collins- in Italy, to be fair. As said, she lives most of the time in France and USA. My question was DIRECTLY related to Joan Collins, and asked by a British person, related to a UK TV programme.

What would anything to do with Switzerland have anything to do with this site, at all. Just a personal attack, yet again- full of prejudice bordering on worse.

You brought up the subject of Russian oligarchs not me!!

As Kandinsky said
Only on GN would anyone care
I’m genuinely shocked that some people have nothing better to worry about.

But back to the subject.

I don't understand why she chooses to live in a hot climate when she needs to be constantly fanned!

Does she live in France all the time?
Or does she still have a little (very expensive) pied-à-terre in London?

I kept thinking to myself, just think he used to go out with Kate Moss! I remember how worried about him his mum was. I’m always puzzled by these stars who are open about doing heroin etc for years but are still going strong and yet those that lived healthy lifestyles are long since gone.

The programme was fimed in France during this summer's heatwave when temperatures reached over 27 degree, the highest ever recorded in France,s and most of the south had red weather alerts for weeks on end.

These were temperatures nobody was used to. She said she had had the house for over 30 years, so she would have bought long before we had these extremes of temeprature.

I don't think our internal thermostats work as well when we get older.

Mine’s certainly up the spout, has been for years.

I think it said Joan has homes in France, London, New York and Los Angeles.

Well of course- as it is directly and provenly linked to her.

It seems it is not a question about her life you are interesting in- fair enough.

But I am interested, hence my question. And I know that very many also are- she was a witness to something very important, that put UK security at wide risk, in so many ways. Blackmail and leaking essential security information to Russian Oligarch.

TerriBull you have really made me laugh!

I love Joan Collins.

For Heaven’s sake!
Leave the subject of Boris Johnson or start a thread about him if you really have to.
This thread is about a tv interview with Joan Collins.
I watched it and enjoyed it, she looks and is, amazing for 90 and sharp as a tack with it.Yes, she has fillers, you can see them and wears lovely wigs.I admire how long she’s been working and how she enjoys life. Long live Joanie😃

You might be interested FP. If ‘very many’ are as well, they have yet to make themselves known. BJ is old history.

MayBee, I suspect one if the reasons these old rockers manage to live reasonably well despite heroin addiction is simple. Clean drugs are brought to them, they don’t have to rob burgle or sell their bodies to get the next (clean ) fix

I watched Theroux interview Joan Collins and then Judi Dench, one after the other. I know comparisons are odious, but Joan was glamorous, brittle, superficial and good for ninety.
Judi was wrinkled, funny, self deprecating and fascinating.

I don't think Joan is superficial. She's led an interesting life and overcome a lot with some of the the men who've taken advantage of her. She is a strong woman and I admire her.

I admire Judi Dench too but somehow can never warm to her.

Not sure that your post of 18.24 might not be libellous @FP so I’m not quoting it but you are making very serious accusations regarding national security.
Do you have any proof?
