Lewis Capaldi told fans he 'hated every minute' of filming his Netflix documentary as he attended the premiere in Glasgow on Thursday.
The West Lothian singer joined fans at the Everyman Cinema in Glasgow’s Princes Square for the exclusive screening of How I’m Feeling Now. The documentary charts the rise of the Scot from budding young singer to global superstar, and around 90 superfans joined Lewis, 26, for the event which was organised by streaming giant Netflix.
Speaking at a Q&A before the event, Lewis said he found the filming experience 'embarrassing' and revealed that the documentary had originally been pitched in 2019. The chart-topping artist admits the finished product four years on is a lot different to what he expected when he first signed up.
Lewis said: ”I was approached about doing it in 2019. If I can take you back there for a moment guys, things were going well. I hadn’t really been twitching, or I hadn’t noticed a twitch that was affecting my life.
“My anxiety was under control. Someone You Loved had been big. The album had done really well. I was like ‘this documentary is gonna be the f****** coolest’."
He continued: "I had all these shows, these big massive shows booked for 2020. I was like ‘I'm gonna look like the business in this’. Then Covid and all the rest of it happened. It became an intimate thing.”
Discussing the reality of having camera crews filming his every move for years, Lewis joked it was “f******* awful”. And he has admitted feeling “nervous” about the documentary being released to the world.

Musician and all-round funny man Lewis Capaldi has just dropped his highly anticipated new documentary on Netflix - How I’m Feeling Now. While the Some You Loved singer is known for his comedic timing, witty remarks, and generally hilarious personality, the feature-length special also focuses on a more personal side of his life, including his battles with anxiety, hypochondria, his recent Tourette’s diagnosis, plus a tour of his stunning Glasgow townhouse. Granted, the singer is now in a relationship with Scottish singer, dancer and actor Ellie MacDowall, but at the time of filming, Lewis was single, and part of the doc documented him moving in with his long-time friend, Niall.
Mike Wass From serving drinks to passengers on a transatlantic flight to posing in his tighty-whities for a billboard, Lewis Capaldi’s reputation as music’s joker is hard-won. While the Scot’s wit and willingness to do just about anything for a laugh are on full display in his Netflix documentary, “How I’m Feeling Now,” Capaldi drops the mask long enough to share his Tourette’s diagnosis and struggle with imposter syndrome. A decision that weighed heavily. “I don’t know if you’re aware,” he deadpans, “but people are cunts.” Be that as it may, Capaldi forged ahead with the documentary. “I didn’t think I had a story that needed to be told,” he says, but director Joe Pearlman and his colleagues at Pulse Films saw it differently. The “Someone You Loved” hitmaker ultimately went along for the ride because he imagined the film as something of a victory lap. “I thought it was going to be triumphant,” he laughs. “But then COVID happened and they’re filming me sniffing my underpants.”
