We’re looking forward to this already…
Louis Theroux has revealed that the subject of his next documentary will be none other than US President Donald Trump.
The British documentary maker wants to tackle the ‘post-Brexit wave of populism’ which has culminated in Trump becoming President of the US.
The three part series will be shot in the US with Theroux aiming “to explore where [Trump’s] foibles come from.”
“It feels like a whole cultural, almost sea change in how the world is part of the post-Brexit wave of populism,” he told The Mirror.
“The story seems to change every day with Trump. There’s something new bubbling under. It’s hard to get your head around such a big subject.”
“The challenge with Trump would be… something so abhorrent that walks on two legs and is a human being, you have to explore where his foibles come from.”
Theroux added: “Hopefully people will like it. It’s good.”
He was speaking at the NME awards where he was honoured for last year’s My Scientology Documentary.
