Reggie Yates

thumb|Reggie Yates in 2009 Reginald "Reggie" Yates (born 31 May 1983) is a British actor, television presenter and radio DJ. Quotes It’s never an interview, it’s a conversation, researched to a point, but I can still be surprised in the moment. I feel confident in saying that if I sat down with George Clooney, I could get him to say something he’d never said before. On his confidence after launching two documentary series in “Reggie Yates: ‘I could get George Clooney to say stuff he’d never said before’” in The Guardian (19 October 2019) The greatest lesson I’ve learned from it is that context is irrelevant when you hurt somebody. I felt justified in saying what I was saying, because of the context, because of the conversation, but the words I used offended a lot of people and some people I care about, and those words were wrong… On his mea culpa after making what some interpreted as an anti-Semitic statement in “Reggie Yates: ‘I could get George Clooney to say stuff he’d never said before’” in The Guardian (19 October 2019) There’s a unique trust between me and the public that’s grown up and that’s really important to me, but the truth is that trust has come about because the programmes I make are not about me. The subject is always bigger: that’s the lesson I’ve learned about making documentaries. On how he’s viewed differently compared to when he was a television personality in “Reggie Yates: ‘I have late-night romantic dinners with my laptop’” in The Guardian (18 March 2018) I’m very aware of the time I have on this planet…I lost loved ones at a young age. I realise the platform I have and the responsibility I have, and I’m aware of my mortality. No one like me has ever had this opportunity, so I’d be a fool not to make the most of it.
