Simon Webbe I smashed my movie debut
Simon Webbe interviewed by Kevin Durham, 8 May 2011. 2m 31s on tape.
In this clip I interview actor and singer Simon Webbe and actress Shivani Ghai on their roles in the movie Everywhere and Nowhere. If you liked this interview clip with Simon Webbe from Blue and actress Shivani Ghai then please leave us a comment in the comment box below. The trajectory of Simon Webbe’s career is a masterclass in adaptation. From the streets of Moss Side to the glitz of the West End, via the global phenomenon of boyband mania, Webbe has constantly reinvented himself. To truly grasp the depth of his journey, one must look beyond the chart statistics and delve into the candid reflections found in a typical Simon Webbe interview. He is a man who speaks openly about the highs of fame and the crushing lows of personal struggle, offering a narrative that is far more complex than the standard pop star biography.
What's on the tape
A transcript, made by machine from the audio and tidied up. It gets names and the odd word wrong, so treat it as a way to find the bit you want rather than as a quotation. Every timestamp jumps to that moment in the video.
