ROB BRYDON: I CRIED FILMING THE GAVIN & STACEY FINALE

What really happened on the fishing trip? It’s the question Rob Brydon—beloved Uncle Bryn in Gavin & Stacey—gets asked a lot, and with their Christmas special just around the corner, I couldn’t wait to have him on the show to ask myself…. Rob Brydon is a stalwart of British television, from hosting panel show, Would I Lie to You to starring alongside Steve Coogan in The Trip, the journey there was filled with hurdles and a healthy does of rejection, but Rob’s determination combined with undeniable natural talent to entertain meant he was always destined for our screens. He also reflected on his six unforgettable seconds as Sugar Daddy Ken in the Barbie movie and revealed a hilarious distaste for vapes!
