Great interview, thanks!

[@dabro2080]

Hope you are ok Liam, sad news this morning. I didn't know he had adhd. Interesting that you can diagnosed later in life. I dunno how you go about getting tested.

And makes you even more money right? That's what these podcasts are all about right? I mean you have over 100k subscribers isn't that enough?

@@MarkScho Get a job!

[@mariaellender6014]

Rest in Peace Paul ❤😢 I had to come here to watch him after hearing the sad news. 😪

[@ClaireVivienne-j8q]

A really, genuinely nice bloke. Nothing contrived, what you saw was what you got and he was from the heart. He was tv gold. Very sad news. RIP.

[@Pop_Punk87]

Rest in peace, Paul

[@empoweredholisticsuk]

What a wonderful conversation. Rest in peace darling boy ❤️

[@tprince73]

RIP Paul. Loved you on Hollyoaks and all your escapades after you left. Brilliant actor. Very very sad news.

[@sewcrabbybee2480]

Sad sad to hear of Paul’s passing, this was a great interview for his legacy. Rest easy and fly high Paul

[@rowenaazimi9040]

Lovely guy. Rest in peace. It sounds like he packed a lot into his short time on earth. ❤

[@tomleigh7478]

Oh Paul Danan. Always remember him losing his shit on love island with Sharpey and Jayne Middlemiss. He cared is what I got out of it all. Damaged soul. Please don't say horrible things about him 💙

[@averilloanthony7527]

I was saying to someone the other day,he had charisma and kind caring but also troubled soul

[@chrislewars2972]

I’m 40 now and been in addiction since I was a teen now 5 years clean and sober. I can relate to Paul as my head also doesn’t shut up and the only thing that made me feel comfortable was heroin. I now have a job a fiancé and a step daughter but struggle every day with normal life. In the end after you have given up the substance you are left with your head which can be crippling. Hope things work out for Paul he looks like he’s in a good place. Thanks for this pod cast God Bless 🙏

try exercise, great for shutting your brain up, and brilliant for overall health.

Wonderfully candid and honest interview. I do hope he passed peacefully free of his evident torment. Rip my man

[@PottsyUK]

RIP Paul. This was a great interview that I watched when released. Very sad, hope you can find peace now Paul. 🧡

[@TH4MBRM]

Top bloke who clearly struggled with some demons. Rip fella

[@KioskKrew]

Such a terrible shame💔 RIP Paul Brilliant Podcast, he was so real, funny and likeable. Heartbreaking to hear him talking about his relapses and now he has really gone😢The last few minutes were so Poignant. So sad. I feel for his parents, brothers and his Son❤

[@jasonloftus3261]

This is my favourite interview yet! Full of every emotion from laughter to tears

[@Topseee]

Brilliant, bless him, one thing nobody can say Paul isn't completely honest, what a life story, u can't help but like him, he is hilarious and I hope he gets an opportunity to revive his career, but he deserves a massive pat on the back for his achievements whilst navigating his addiction... x

[@tprince73]

Such a shame he didn’t get to do anything else. Very talented actor and very likeable

[@Topseee]

@tprince73 heartbreaking, I can't believe it, RIP Paul, love to his family 💔

[@StaceyV86]

Absolutely loved this. Paul came across as relatable and likeable. Liam, your interviews are fantastic. You never talk over your guests and you make them feel at ease. This is definitely one of if not my favourite podcast.

[@butchmeister80]

RIP you led a full life and really enjoyed this interview from a similar era the best era of time! And yes deniro is a legend😊

[@rowenaazimi9040]

I agree definitely the best era, and i am so glad I got to experience being in it.

[@alexp19771]

It’s deeply sad to hear the passing of Paul. The last time I saw him online was here on The Dozen, such a lovely genuine bloke with a zest for life, and a creative genius.

[@lizarnold655]

What a loss to the world, please hope there is a team carrying on his work in the community ❤😢

[@Randymaddy]

Fantastic interview from the interviewer and the interviewee! Paul seemed a lovely guy with so much potential... sad about the lows... may he R.I.E.P.

[@stephenhenderson5322]

Easily the most entertaining interview I've seen in years. Hilarious! What a trip.

[@duster15670]

Struggled with your Demons...your now free...RIP Paul 🌹

[@ceeram]

Wow what a Very honest interview. I really enjoyed it. Paul sounds like he’s really struggled but trying his very best to stay on the right track, he’s not perfect but he’s aware and that’s amazing. Well done Paul and a very heartfelt thank you from Liam at the end was a lovely touch xx

[@onlyme436]

What a lovely way to end the podcast, im so glad you said them things and gave him love. I really liked Paul, i remember him from years ago but i forgot about him, i wish i gave him more love when he was alive😢. Rip Paul, you no longer have to chase them jobs now.

[@psbenoliver]

One of the best celebrity interviews, scrap that, interviews I’ve ever watched. Asked the real questions, got the best stories. Class from start to finish

[@betsutd8959]

What a down to earth lad he was. What you see is what you got. RIP paul

[@shindasingh986]

Best podcast. Open book. Honest. Genuine guy And funny stories

[@BeKindpls]

Liam. OMG. One of the best Podcast I’ve ever seen. Perfect host just letting Paul talk. Superb. 👌

Hearing Pauls honesty about dr*g use has really helped me today. another great podcast Liam. Thank you both 🙏🏻

[@mayabayable]

RIP PAUL....😢 Just watched this a few days ago.and now he has gone. Nice lad.....

[@karanb1006]

So sad he has died. Such a nice person.

[@tim.a-1977]

Great interview and what a sound lad Paul is. I remember watching celebrity love island and ‘dangerous’ Danan is the only one I remember. Having the ‘escapism’ addiction is bloody hard work but hearing stories like this just make you want to put his advice into action. Respect Paul and nice one Liam

[@mariamarsh-bonovia6661]

Well done liam thought Paul was so upfront and honest great to watch

[@AbigailSanders_coach]

Didn’t really know too much about Paul before seeing this. What a lovely and honest portrayal of a tormented soul RIP Paul x

[@DC4416]

Loved this. You know he's the real deal, mentioned the Seattle grunge scene and didn't mention Nirvana. He's a real one.

[@mary6736]

What an amazing truthful down to earth interview, god bless Paul,and I wish him all the best in his recovery and future ,Liam you pulled off another great interview ❤❤

[@catherineandrew9602]

I am so very sad to hear about the passing of Paul Danan 💔 God Speed. Rest with the angels now ✨️ Great podcast Liam. Paul was very talented. Gone too soon. Sincere condolences to his son, family & friends and all who loved him ❤

[@frankiemuss]

I watched ur interview with James English and it was heavy ur a grounded fella who aint bitter ur platform is great good on u i like the way you let ur guests talk and u don't make it about u👍

[@adammcneill947]

Had me hooked from start to finish. What an open and honest interview. He's been through a torrid time in life, but it sounds like he's thankfully coming out the other side . Great news

[@mariemc219]

I always liked him. Authentic, honest I could listen to him and be in that Tribe. I think Paul has done his penance he is now in peace. Thank you for that wonderful interview Liam. Magic moments in time and just like a shadow on the wall the memories left in our hearts are eternal. God Bless you Paul when I had dark times you made me giggle. Look forward to seeing you in the next life. God loved you because you lived in Truth 💚❤️💚

[@eire3215]

Very sad😢..R.I.P Paul, I grew up watching you on telly with my family...many good memories...

[@brandyman32]

This was such a brilliant and honest interview ,tragic news today ,rest in peace Paul 🙏

[@davidhopkins848]

I love the addiction stories as an addict you always feel like a letdown and the odd one in society, but the reality is most of us are addicted to something and us addicts aint alone out there ive slipped and fallen on the downers again so these stories inspire me the problem with addiction is you have got to want to stop its also the definition of insanity doing the same thing expecting different results thanks liam big respect godbless you yaki-da

[@juliepeakman4835]

Great podcast Liam, really enjoyed it, Paul was so lovely. So sad about his passing, condolences to his boy and family 😢🤍

[@summerteddytoby]

[@Beckie-g3x]

Absolutely, loved this interview, what a lovely "Sol" Paul is !I am fairly new to Liam's Podcast but it is definitely my new favourite.

[@Toffeeman17]

Probably the best podcast ive ever seen, really enjoyed that. Good luck moving forward Paul

[@louisereynolds7063]

I had a very different idea of who paul was probably because of what I've read in the past but watching this has completely changed my view what a wonderful human im so glad he done this pod cast thank you liam for the great job you do and may paul now be at peace no more battles just completely free😢

[@KittyCatFurbabiesMaria1972]

Paul is a really lovely person , what he’s done / doing with MAD is just fantastic in helping ppl , good on you paul ! You’re a great guy , much Luff !!! ❤xxx

[@LiamTuffs]

I couldn’t agree more.. a complete act of kindness & care 🙏🏼

[@jameslevelle2776]

The last half hour talking about the group he runs was beautiful.

[@nickearl7173]

⁠@@LiamTuffs you’re right, kindness is key. I once told Paul he was worth more. He is. Hopefully now he’s feeling it. Your best interview yet, you’re encouraging people to open up the more you host. Keep up the great work 🙏🏼

[@S.N.T76]

Oh my gosh. So shocked at learning this gorgeous man has passed away. God rest his beautiful soul. I loved listening to his story. So sad that he's no longer with us.

[@kendraradford4155]

I listen to all your podcast , but think this is the best one yet , bless ya Paul

[@kerrymacka222]

Throughout all his troubles and addictions he still was doing his very best ti help people in his situation.. and to help prevent kids from making th same mistakes he did.. So sad and tragic that he has passed but his legacy will live on Throughout all the things he had set up in his name to help others.. not all addicts are a waste of space some just have had it hard and feel lost.. this man had his battles with addiction and changed it into something positive.. Now that deserves credit.. R.I.P Paul ❤ your finally at peace and no more battles to be had.. your at peace now x

[@hlmitch82]

Lovely guy, really insightful honest and helpful. Sending Paul all the best for his future xxx

What a brilliant podcast Liam! Its so refreshing to hear 'truth' instead of main media BS. You are a beautiful soul Paul and keep up the great work helping others

[@AmandaCopson]

I loved this, One of the best podcasts I’ve seen for a long time

[@dianaatuona4263]

Absolutely loved this! Paul is an absolute character, wish him the very best of luck in future endeavours. Lots of respect for Liam too. Using his past adversity to create a platform that fosters great connection. 🥰

[@lukerobertrobson]

Really hope if he gets back into acting I think eastenders would be a good thing for him

[@davidhopkins848]

Eastenders ain't the same these days. 20 odd years ago it was class

[@GeteP]

Good shout, I agree ... I detest Eastenders though, there's something else out there that can really define this guy as an actor, I reckon. Paul Danans time is yet to come, in my opinion . . . Pete 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@strictlycasual765]

Getting a job on a big rated UK show would probably be a bad move for him; after 6 months of believing he’s the Romford Redford his addiction will tell him it’s ok to get on it once Then again Then again etc

[@tarajane9526]

I watched this interview in two parts, I remember Paul as Sol in hollyoaks best. He was great on Hollyoaks, bless him he got a little lost bc of certain circumstances, I must say the part about him getting on stage in smoke & swearing, i rewind & watched about 8 times, I was crying with laughter. Was so funny, the way he was saying it & i was imagining it. Still makes me laugh thinking about it as I’m writing it. What a guy. RIP Paul D. I believe you touched a lot of lifes, your personality & sense of humour. Its sad you leave your son without his daddy but lets hope his told all the cool funny thing’s about you & the goodness you gave to people. RIP Paul D. And Liam how you kept a straight face though that story at times I don’t know how, bc bless him but i was laughing so much. Great chat.

[@Katiebatie1980]

Bless his heart. Your at peace now love ❤

[@RiskyChip]

Bloody hell… WHOOSH what an interview. Had me crying when you talk about the improv. CIC

[@matthewratcliffe6812]

This guy has always been tv gold says it from the heart regardless of where or when ❤

What a blinding honest podcast one of the best I’ve ever heard 🩵🙏✌️ Paul fare play mate for your honesty no ego just a honest fella who lived life to the full ✌️🩵🙏 what a story Wish you all the best for the future mate a genuine lovely fella 👊🩵 I’m now 3 and half years clean and sober my first addiction was women mate just loved be around them then it was drugs shopping food sex I was dry sniffer to booze didn’t do coke ecstasy puff I’m from the acid house generation but now I’m in recovery CA look after yourself paul ✌️🙏🩵

[@dabro2080]

Keep being strong 💪 🙏 and be proud of your will power

[@steelstunners1862]

Brutally honest and funny interview. Love the fact he was just allowed to speak. I wonder if Paul has ever tried TM meditation? David Lynch, Clint Eastwood and Seinfeld are big fans of it, since he has some affinity with dbt, TM synchronises both hemispheres.

[@enoughofthepolitics]

RIP Paul, you lived one heck of a life mate.

[@tyretstel]

Paul would be perfect for a biopic film about Ian Dury and the blockheads, i really could see paul doing that , proper method acting ! :) , i would watch it :)

[@shanecarvell-white2215]

Paul seems like a really decent guy who like most men (myself inc) try to deal with the majority of issues alone. Generational…maybe, primitive…possibly. Fair play to the bloke though for pushing forwards through the darkness. Cracking video! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼
