In this inspiring episode, we discuss the recent revelation by British comedian and actor Johnny Vegas, who opened up about being diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) in his 40s. His candid interview with The Guardian has sparked important conversations around adult ADHD, late diagnosis, and the challenges many neurodivergent individuals face in daily life.

We explore how ADHD symptoms like distractibility, impulsivity, and hyperactivity impacted Johnny’s life and career—and how he’s learned to manage those challenges while still thriving in the world of comedy and entertainment. His story is a powerful reminder that ADHD in adults is real, manageable, and nothing to be ashamed of.
