Russell Opens Up On His Broken Childhood...

Russell traces his sense of purpose back to a single moment most people would never expect, a school production of Bugsy Malone when he was 15. He'd spent his childhood feeling fat, disgusting, and worthless, and was cast as Fat Sam for exactly that reason, yet the moment he stepped on stage and opened his mouth, something shifted permanently. He describes it almost physically, like tendrils falling from heaven directly into his hands, a feeling he says he's carried with him for 30 years since. He ties it to the words spoken over Christ at his baptism, "this is my son with whom I am well pleased," the first time he ever felt anything close to that kind of unconditional approval. A candid, vulnerable look back at where it all really started.
