Overview
- On Davina McCall’s Begin Again podcast on Thursday, Patsy Kensit said she “lost part” of herself during her marriage to Liam Gallagher and described Noel Gallagher taking her aside to ask why she had stopped working.
- Kensit told the host she stopped accepting film roles because she was “too afraid to leave him on his own,” and that the relationship became bigger than her own career.
- She said Noel encouraged her to resume acting, describing him as supportive and questioning her decision to put work on hold.
- Kensit linked the pause in her career to the wider Britpop spotlight of the late 1990s, noting the couple’s 1997 Vanity Fair shoot as an emblem of the intense public scrutiny they faced.
- The interview comes as Kensit prepares a return to Emmerdale after about 20 years away, a move that reframes her public narrative from that era and highlights her renewed focus on acting.
