Rylan Clark is joined by former Royal Marine and Paralympian, Mark Ormrod, who became a triple amputee after stepping on an improvised explosive device while on a tour in Afghanistan. Mark lifts the lid on what it’s like to be a real life action man and, with a moving and vivid description of the incident that nearly cost him his life, tells how his devastating injuries made him reassess his own masculinity. He also recalls the hallucination where Will Smith came to visit him in hospital. In this series, Rylan opens up the fault lines of masculinity in lively and revealing conversations with diverse, prominent figures and celebrities. Together they explore toxic masculinity, old-fashioned male stereotypes, gender identity, body image, parenthood, how to educate the next generation, role models and cultural differences to try to understand How to Be a Man in the 2020s.
