He's bizzack


His career imploded when more than 20 women accused him of groping, verbal abuse and even secretly filming an actress’s naked audition. But Noel Clarke vehemently denies wrongdoing and police have yet to bring any charges. Read this interview and decide for yourself if he’s one more victim of cancel culture – or a predator who just got what he deserved​


Noel Clarke’s twin Bafta statuettes sit on the bookshelves of his West London home. Once they represented the pinnacle of his achievement as an actor, writer, producer and director. Today the bronze faces stare blankly out over a career that lies in tatters.

Until a year ago Clarke was part of the British film and TV establishment. He could be seen on screen in the BBC’s Doctor Who and top-rated police dramas on ITV and Sky. He’d traced his roots in an episode of Who Do You Think You Are? and written and starred in the acclaimed Hood Trilogy of youth culture films, directing two of them.

Today he is a pariah after a string of highly damaging allegations led to the British Academy of Film and Television Arts suspending his membership, and withdrawing his 2021 Bafta award for outstanding contribution to British cinema just nine days after he was handed the coveted gong.

Amid an extraordinary public fall from grace, Clarke’s TV cop show Bulletproof was canned by Sky, even though a fourth series was anticipated. ITV pulled the finale of his big-budget thriller Viewpoint on the eve of broadcast, posting it briefly on its streaming service ITV Hub. It goes without saying that all Clarke’s invitations to the VIP world beyond the velvet cordons of showbusiness have been lost in the post. Many industry allies have fled, terrified of disgrace by association.

Clarke, 46, a married father-of-four, is accused of being a sexual predator and a bully. Allegations – made by more than 20 women and spanning a 15-year period – include claims of unwanted touching or groping, sexually inappropriate behaviour and comments on set, the covert filming of a naked audition and the sharing of explicit pictures without consent.

Clarke, who grew up in a tough and impoverished part of West London, vehemently denies the claims. He has not, he says, been granted the presumption of innocence, let alone a fair hearing.

‘Twenty years of work was gone in 24 hours,’ he says, speaking for the first time about the allegations that destroyed his career. ‘I lost everything. The company I built from the ground up, my TV shows, my movies, my book deals, the industry respect I had. In my heart and my head it has damaged me in a way I cannot articulate.’

In the past year, Clarke and his wife Iris, who have been together for two decades, have had a new baby they haven’t dared tell anyone about. Financially the family has been left ‘running on fumes’. Most seriously, at his lowest, Clarke was suicidal. He pocketed a folding hunting knife bought as a souvenir while filming Auf Wiedersehen, Pet in Arizona 20 years ago and planned to cut his own throat.

‘I needed to do something unsurvivable,’ he says today. ‘I was reaching for a book and the knife fell out of my pocket. My one-year-old said, “Daddy, why have you got that?”

‘I said, ‘‘It’s just to pick the dirt out of my nails…” And he said, ‘Oh, OK,” and somehow the ordinariness of that snapped me out of it. Up to that point, I had been waiting for the right moment to kill myself. I was out of here. Done. I didn’t care about anything. My mind was destroyed.’

He'a white and queer. Kevin Spacey Defense.


Kevin Spacey was crazy cancelled though. Netflix cut all ties, he was taken out of his starring role in House of Cards, his Gore movie was shelved, they completely reshot all his scenes in All the Money in the World with a different actor, and I don't think he got a single role in any film or tv show for a good 5 years. Even now that he's gotten another role it's just some random low-budget independent shyt filmed internationally.
