Alan Cumming

About this episode

In this deeply personal episode, Monica chats with actor and Traitors presenter Alan Cumming, who shares his story of surviving an abusive childhood with a father obsessed with his hair and the lasting impact it left on him. He reflects on the power of speaking openly about his trauma, how sharing his story has helped him heal, and why he still struggles with the fear of becoming a father himself. It’s an honest and raw conversation about breaking cycles, confronting the past, and learning to move forward.
