Episode 256: Callum Blue

 

Actor and director

           ⁠ Callum Blue's character of Andrew Jacoby in The Princess Diaries 2 ended up being the wrong partner for Princess Mia but somehow as a viewer, at least for me, there was a pang of sadness for the nice, honest, and just no drama Duke of Kenilworth. I sat down with him over twenty years since the sequel's release to talk about a personal quest of self-discovery involving trauma and mushrooms. 

           Please enjoy the 256th episode of Lament of Hope highlighting Callum Blue. Callum, thank you for taking time to share your life journey with me and my audience.
