00:00Jack Thorne, tell our audience about what's happened to you because of the success of
00:04adolescence in the last few days.
00:06Well, it's been very interesting.
00:08You know, I've been on the television a little bit.
00:11What's been happening in the last few days is my picture is being circulated with questions
00:17as to my masculinity, questions as to whether I've got too much oestrogen in my system,
00:24questions as to whether I'm a man or not, weird things like people saying that I'm Jewish
00:29when I'm not.
00:31It's been very odd and it's given me a taste of something that's very strange.
00:35I'm very comfortable with how I look.
00:37I don't mind it, but it's been scientifically very interesting.
