- This week we sat down with Adam Pearson, who grew up with a genetic condition called neurofibromatosis, which causes growth of tumours on nerve tissues on his face and upper body. Adam told us about his childhood and teenage years, how he learnt to cope with bullying and made a successful film and TV career.

None of us will ever know how much strength this guy has, to go through what he went through in his life.
Thanks Captain Obvious!
You've clearly never attempted a rational conversation to a group of trumpterds.@@Snk13_ty
This fella has more strength in his character than many of us. Another gem of an interview. Props again Lad Bible.
Well said lad
Spot on
I just came back to watch it again. The dude is hilarious. "Two vegans and a feminist, then a dog appears In my arms" LOL. Just as I'm typing this I heard "High as Giraffe pussy on morphine" All the best to the lad, he's winning.
I feel ashamed of my insecurities when I see people like this. Bless that man.
You don’t have to be ashamed of any insecurities man just because people have problems that are harder to deal with than you but you still have your own struggles and hardships don’t be ashamed of it just try and push through it and try to get better
@@thevoid112 I like you 👍
My respect for this man is immense. Having to go through things like that is terrible.
Hats off for this strong man
“you allow yourself the space to grieve it and then you move on” that’s an amazing quote and such a healthy way to deal with this. i’m in awe of this man
This guy is an absolute legend. Heart of a lion. He is so articulate and has so much confidence. Nothing but respect for you my man!
Incredible to see so many supportive comments for Adam. He's an amazing advocate for visible difference and we're so proud to call him our ambassador.
One of the strongest lads in the world
It really sucks he had to go through this, but he is absolutely one of the most memorable parts of Under the Skin. The role was small, but he did fantastic.
I thought that was him but wasn't sure. Till now anyway. That is a great movie!
Agreed.
Both his advice on allowing yourself to cry and then move on, and his opinion on asking for help when you need it are incredibly meaningful and insightful to me so thankyou!
Truly great advice for anyone anywhere in these times
Not only is this guy strong and tough as nails, he’s also hilarious. I could listen to a full podcast of just him talking and telling stories. What a cool guy.
I remember growing up in a adiscombe in Croydon south London and seeing this guy walking around I always wondered what happened to him, nice to see him doing well, well done fella
haha same mate, he's still round there
Me too Jack... He's an inspiration for real 100%
I’ve seen him on the tram a few times
Disability aside, I absolutely love how he speaks! It's very easy to listen to, he's got great vocabulary and a great accent to top it off.
Adam is simply the fucking boss. Greatest respect for this gentelman
I saw this man’s disability for a few seconds and then I just saw a man who was getting on with life and trying to do it best the best he could. He’s so interesting and intelligent that I found myself just focusing on what he was saying instead of his appearance. It would be a honour to work beside him or have this man as a good friend. He has a lot of perspective to offer and we could all learn from that.
This man is strong 💪
A very deep bow to this guy. You have my respects.
I suffer from eczema and have very low days when it's bad and can't face the world face people turn my fone off, close my curtains, and want to hide myself away feeling like I'm the ugliest person ever, even now I hate myself, this guy needs a golden medal I don't know how he does is, he's a proper geeza well done bro massive pat on the bk from me bro well donexxxxxrespect
On the topic of trolls: "Correct their grammar and move on." Sir, we are kindred spirits. That is EXACTLY what I do. 😂
What a fighter ❤️
One good cry or one good moan and then you've got to put it in its place. Great line and one I'll keep in mind when talking about resilience with some of the teenagers I teach. Life can be so rough but at some point you have to deal with what's been dealt and either stop the issues that you can, or, move on and enjoy the other aspects in life.
You can tell he’s got a grand sense of humour, top lad !
True strength, compassion & humour could learn a lot from this guy. What a legend!👏
Ha, this guy's hilarious. I was gonna say that he should be in film or TV, glad to know he already is.
he is-- I recognized him and looked up Under the Skin with Scarlet Johannason.
He has done horror films too.
@@Kindlycallmecarebear did not know, I am not much of a horror movie/show fan, but will check it out, thanks
Elephant man 2 is out?
You should really watch Under the Skin. It’s an incredibly bleak and eerie, but it’s ridiculously interesting. His role is small, but super memorable.
His condition has made him into who he is. A keen intelligence, and strength that most people work a lifetime to possess. The most beautiful thing is his confidence in himself and the self awareness. The most profound message delivered in under 13 minutes. Thank you 🙏
Still see him in the Co-op and down the road ometimes, great person. Apparently I said he had a funny face to his face once when i was young so sorry for that. What a guy though, never shy to a challenge
Wow, imagine the lessons he's learnt about people over the years. I wish him the very best.
I love adam ❤️ I seen him on Wrestletalk quizzlemania and on No rolls barred. As one wrestling fan to another. He is a strong, funny, and talented man. The world could be mean at times, but souls like Adam are one in a million. Again love you good sir ❤️.
Great guy, great interview. Sad to see that some people are still making assumptions about his quality of life.
beuty and chaos of genetics the strength in this man is truly inspiring
What a great guy! I love how much wisdom and compassion he has
*What a MAN! Nothing but respect. when we think our lives are difficult many people are going through much more. RESPECT !*
Remember seeing Adam drinking with a few of his mates in a pub in Croydon I used to go to. I’d remembered seeing his face on buses and tube advertising so felt in awe when I saw him❤️
All day yesterday I was distressed and having a meltdown because I botched my beard the day before my new job. Smh definitely needed to see this. How lucky I am.
Very impressed with this man's character and intellect. He's blessed.
'Do I look like I have a fucking stunt double'.. brilliant
"do I look like I got a f#*%ing stunt double?" Genuienely best laugh I have had in a while, great sense of humour Adam
Love this man's sense of humour - I'd love to see him battle internet trolls!
People like him remind me be grateful for everything you have ❤️ we take so many things for granted
I too have NF1. When I was four, I was in daycare around age 3, I went on a slide and slid down the slide hard and hurt my back. I was in a lot of pain so the staff had to contact my mom to informed them of what happened. I was given ice while waiting for my mom picked me up to go see my PCP. At the time, there was no bump on my back but my mom being a LVN at the time, just wanted to make sure I was okay internally. Later on during the months, a bump started to grow on my lower back which started to cause a lot of problems with me being able to stand up straight whenever I woke up in the morning. From then on, my hospital journeys began because my mom was so determined to find out what the bump was. No doctors could figure out what the bump was (Mind you, this was the early 90s so NF was not really known at the time.) until I was referred to my current hospital, MD Anderson. I was seen by a brain and spine specialist and he ran many tests to figure out what the bump was on my lower back. By this time I had already turned 4 and the bump got a little bigger. After many tests and my doctor (who’s still my current doctor) who did so many researched, was finally able to diagnosed me with Neurofibromatosis 1 or NF1 for short. There was this man back in the 1800s who was known as “The Elephant Man.” He had many tumors which caused a lot of deformities in his body due to how the tumors grow which eventually lead to his death. In the early 1900s, a doctor reassured his body, I believe “The Elephant Man,” or real name Joseph Merrick donated his body to science. The doctor was determined to eventually diagnosed Joseph with NF. So my doctor was also able to diagnosed me with NF because of other signs and symptoms I experienced. From then on, I had to have surgeries to remove many tumors. More and more tumors began to from which I couldn’t have surgery because of the tumors were wrapped around many nerves. Having surgery to remove some of the hard to reach tumors would have either leave me paralyzed or severely bleed out quickly and dying on the table. Fast forward today, I have hundreds of tumors including the first one I had when I slid the slide hard. NF still affects my everyday life. I live in constant pain due to how the tumors are wrapped around many of my nerves. It’s a hard life, but in a weird way, I’m glad it happened to me and none of my brothers and my mom. I truly wouldn’t wish this hell on my worst enemy.
I live in the same area as the twins...I have seen Adam many times on my high street/transport/at the shopping centre and always wanted to maybe just have a convo...But I never wanted to disrespect his privacy or make him feel uncomfortable...But I can say he is always friendly and confident and he has been a huge inspiration to me! 100% Thanks Adam x Can we have one of his Bro who suffers also??
Strong dude man good to see him tackling his miss fortunes head on and showing other people with deformities that life is still worth living
What an absolute legend of a guy .
What an incredible man
What a great bloke, think everyone could take a leaf out of his book. + do I look like I’d have a stunt double is just pure gold! All the best mate.👍
This man is amazing. I am not sure I would have this mans strength in life.
I really admire his power to stand up for himself, open up and as he said, his statement will last forever.
Wow what a fella big respect.
LOVE this man! Intelligent, funny and so insightful. Thank you for sharing your story. Keep on being you, because you are awesome!
I recognized from Under the Skin, thank you for your story. Some people are truly mean, please keep a great attitude and enjoy every day of life we have Mr. Pearson.
Thats a strong man right there! Great interview
The way he talks is 👑,proud of you mate.⭐
I am absolutely blown away by this man. Beyond inspirational!
I have much admiration & respect for Adam. He is truly an inspiration. I wish him only happiness.
What an amazing man. Really made me think deeply. Thank you
"Do I look like I might have a stunt double ?"
I choked with laughs....
I suffer disabilities....And have 'broken' more times I can remember. And suffer more humiliation at the emergency room. I am not disfigured, which is a big part of how I am treated too often. I actually look "too good", to be in severe pain from an accident over thirty years ago. I believe that humanity is just less caring than they profess. This man must be made of granite, by now.
What an absolutely amazing individual!!! Thank you for sharing your story & your strenght!!!
Adam, you are a wonderful person. Keep on keeping on.
What an incredibly brave, strong, and witty person. Thank you for sharing your story!
you just made a huge fan. Look forward to seeing you on screen and I wish you continued health and an amazing career
This man is extremely brilliant! I can listen to him all day.
Great interview! Amazing strength and so much wisdom, hats off! I’ll rewatch in the future for sure, thank you ❤️
big up Adam!! Funniest interview I’ve seen in a while. Keep speaking truth to power my man ❤️ peace and love!
He gives me strength listening to his story and coping mechanisms- which I'm thankful for
You're an inspiration. The force is strong with this one.
Respect. Love his positive attitude and outlook. Yes. Much respect.
I live in Croydon and saw Adam couple days ago..he's just doing his thing..living life.
His ending message is powerful. thank you to the team and Adam for doing this interview!
Brilliant interview. Brilliant bloke also 👍
I can’t imagine how much pain that has caused for him. So strong! 💪 May God Bless His Soul.🙏🏽❤️
