Walking The Dog with Emily Dean

Luke Evans (Part One)

Episode notes

This week, we’re in London’s St James’s Park with Luke Evans!


Raymond and Luke pretty much fell in love with each other from the moment they met - Ray spent the entire walk cradled in Luke’s arms… lucky Raymond, eh?! 


Growing up, Luke had a collection of cats and an aviary of birds with his parents, who were Jehovah’s Witnesses. He opens up about how that affected his childhood, and how it feels to have written about it in his autobiography. He tells us how he came to terms with his sexuality in a religion which had no tolerance for homosexuality, and his rather brilliant grandma!


You can get your copy of Luke’s brilliant book Boy From The Valleys here!
