Louis Theroux has opened up about inadvertently becoming a “protagonist” in his documentaries after a far-right YouTuber subject in his upcoming series called him “pretentious”.
During filming for the new three-part BBC series, far-right commentator Nicholas J. Fuentes released a video in which he described Theroux as “pretentious” - among other things.
Theroux described Fuentes as a walking contradiction, as a 23-year-old with a “cheeky smile and floral shirt”, but someone who reveals his white nationalist and misogynist views from his home in his parents’ basement.
