Baby Reindeer: BURNING QUESTIONS ANSWERED

How Is He Doing?

Creator and star Richard Gadd says he’s “OK,” especially after making the show, in which he plays Donny, a fictionalized version of himself who suffers sexual abuse and fends off an unhinged stalker. “Being given a platform like this to express myself comes with a certain degree of healing, not just for me but for people who are at home watching who have been through something like this,” adds the comedian, who has “every type of therapy going” but still tears up when he talks about the toll his trauma has taken on his worried parents.

“It is a process,” the 35-year-old says of recovery, but notes that the events depicted in the series happened many years ago. “I am way more cautious around people now. It takes me a long time to trust them.” (If you or someone you know is struggling, go to wannatalkaboutit .com.)
