He’s very popular and I think his personality is a lot to do with it. He’s got a good sense of humour. He’s recently been diagnosed with Tourette’s so it’s great to see someone in the public eye raising awareness and not letting it hold them back

HeyJudeNanananana · 04/02/2023 19:30

He is awesome. My DD and her friends went to see him live last week and absolutely loved him, said he was funny, entertaining, and just put on an amazing show.

FlibbertyGibbitt · 04/02/2023 19:30

I love his music. Love a sad song I do !

Tangerinie · 04/02/2023 19:31

I love him too

Igotjelly · 04/02/2023 19:31

He’s from very local to me and we have lots of mutual friends (I know him in passing from before he was famous). Really nice, down to earth guy.

Definitely, he has been very honest about Tourette's and his anxiety problems.

Very much so, I have met him pre-massive stardom and he is a sweetie. He works bloody hard

cunderthunt1 · 04/02/2023 19:33

Very funny guy

TheWy · 04/02/2023 19:34

I love him. I love his music (and I really don't like that genre of music usually) he's SO funny, hardworking, seems so sweet to his fans, down to earth and incredibly cute.
YesnI do have a crush on him 😳

PicklesAndTequila · 04/02/2023 19:36

He's great, really funny and his shows are brilliant.

Pinkflipflop85 · 04/02/2023 19:43

I love him.

He comes across like he doesn't realise he's actually famous!

BathshebaKnickerStickers · 04/02/2023 19:51

He’s brilliant. He had a girlfriend in my city for a wee while and was often seen in big Asda.

Check out when he was on Graham Norton, its brilliant

megletthesecond · 04/02/2023 19:58

He's funny. No filter.

FrogFairy · 04/02/2023 20:00

I have a soft spot for Lewis. I loved the way he handled the beef between him and Noel Gallagher.

HaroldTheStallion · 04/02/2023 20:06

I love him so much. Have you seen his video homage to wham club tropicana? It's amazing

People love funny plain blokes who take the piss out of themselves.

(funny plain women are only widely accepted once they're over 50)

MurderAtTheBeautyPageant · 04/02/2023 20:07

My top Lewis Capaldi fact: his dad's fishmonger shop sells the BEST prawns.

I just had this conversation with dd, I really like Lewis but I can't imagine everyone being so supportive of a female equivalent. There would be a lot more negativity around her looks etc I think.

AffIt · 04/02/2023 20:16

I've met him a few times socially, as he's mates with the (much younger) bassist in my band! They went to college together.

Really nice guy, very funny and genuine. Just a wee Weegie boy working hard.

We don't agree on music, though. 😄

Show quote history

there'd be loads of men getting angry that a woman they didn't want to fuck was taking up space.

feellikeanalien · 04/02/2023 20:36

I'm old too OP and I've just discovered his music. DD and I both love him.

Twwodoorsaway · 04/02/2023 20:45

I love Lewis and his music and I am definitely older! He is so funny on Instagram and I admire his talking about his mental health and Tourette’s. I’ve seen him live supporting Ed Sheeran a few years ago and he was fabulous. He always comes across as down to earth and very funny, definitely not afraid to take the mick out of himself.

MrsScrubbingbrush · 04/02/2023 21:14

When a contestant on a quiz show (The Chase?) hadn't heard of him, didn't he get some 'I dont even know who lewis capaldi is' shirts printed and wore one?

I absolutely love his music, sense of humour and may just have a teeny tiny bit of a crush on him.
