[@twambamman]

The fact Asim speaks so highly of you and Stevie, and holds you in such high regards, is a testament as to how well respected you both are. This 9min clip shows fully grown successful adults, showing their weaknesses, and becoming even more relatable in doing so. Amazing clip Jack.

hes just a sound guy being nice

[@gorygamer101]

Can’t lie bro when I read the first three words I had to double check that they weren’t “the fat Asian”

“Ride the panic attack!” this hits hard. The world needs more guys like Asim! ❤

[@wajn4785]

Definitely, people need to admit things like these. I sit in envy thinkingbi with I had the confidence to do what they do.

Keep it up with the positive mental health chats! Normalising stuff like this will genuinely help people

[@Church_Of_Kloppism]

Will it tho? We been talking about it for years nothing happened so far....mental health is in the name.. its a mind game nobody can help you but you.

[@Harryhas26]

@@Church_Of_Kloppism It definitely helps to know other people struggle as well. Even those who are seen as successful.

[@Church_Of_Kloppism]

@Harryhas26 of course we struggle? Everyone struggles? That's part of life? Surely you don't need to know somebody else is struggling to realise that you are also struggling?

[@Harryhas26]

@@Church_Of_Kloppism What? Why would someone else struggling make me realise I am? I know how I feel.

[@TS-rp7dz]

Accountability is the most important thing with mental health. People spend all day scrolling social media and stay up til 5am every night and wonder why they are depressed

[@indylloyd]

Met Asim a few times backstage at pjdn shows... a genuine awesome down to earth guy... guy deserves all the success that's coming to him.

[@rickymurray]

I suffered from panic attacks for around 3 years, I remember the worst one, was a weird one, I was on the tube platform on a quiet afternoon and felt a hand on my shoulder, turned around and nobody was there, I just brain farted and went full panic mode, questioning my own head, ended up getting on the train in tears and couldn’t breath, two strangers basically carried me off the tube and up to fresh air at the next station. I genuinely thought I was going to die

[@darkknight17]

Did you get to the cause of it?

[@philjohnston9889]

I only started watching PJDN after the final series finished but I instantly fell in love with it and the chabuddy character and I searched out other projects Asim had worked on and watched those and he is honestly one of my favourite people within the comedy world now. He is brilliant in everything in appears in, regardless of whether that’s a full series starring role or he only pops in for one or two episodes. He seems like one of the most humble, likeable and approachable people in telly/movies as well and I’m delighted for all his continued success. I would be delighted if he made an appearance on happy hour once a year haha!

[@philjohnston9889]

@@ManWalksDogs I did yes. Big big fan of that show so binge watched the whole new series when it dropped on iPlayer :)

[@billyporkoftheblue]

Asim was brilliant in people just do nothing, really brought the character to life and created a funny character with a lot of depth for a comedy.

[@beethimbles8801]

You guys have such lovely low-key natural chemistry x

[@smallsysamuels6930]

'ride a panic attack.' I really like that, because the tendency is to try and flee it or deny/prevent it somehow, ride it really flips it around. Really nice to see such open self aware chat on these matters! :)

[@jamessheehy4895]

Love asim! Keep bringing out raps on Instagram please mate! Hope you and your wife having a lovely life! I suffer from social anxiety too! One love

so after he started to explain the social anxiety and how he had 3 panic attacks the day he went on Jhonathan Ross (lol) and watching that i have an immense amount of respect for Asim. That performance he puts on is so spectacular and just a whole crazy level of control regarding his acting skills.

Even when I saw him in Bethnal green a while back, he was shook when he came across an actual Muslim, you could see in his body language and all over his face he's shook and he left Islam. He's only comfortable in the company of immorality and indecency and evildoers. If you read this Asim, remember me ? Outside Tesco say 2 years back I said ah chabuddy g and the look on your face and you was very uncomfortable seeing a Muslim around you,. I did nothing but smile but I could see you are uneasy about your faith. I however pray that you return back to Allah the almighty magnificent of he wills ameen
