So we're here at my grandma's house, the family home.
It's full of warmth, full of love, we're going to get some, you know,
good old-fashioned TLC, you know? She's a caring woman, innit?
What's up, Gan-Gan? What...?
Have I got any bumps? Yes, you have. Have I got bumps? Is it a lot? Yeah.
Rough. Rough? Do you think I should get like a facial or something?
What facial? Just like a beautician or something like that
and they kind of give you facials.
Are you too stupid...? HE LAUGHS
There's lots of products and treatments for male grooming now
that you can use, you know?
Nathan, I don't like those sort of things.
I want you to be natural.
You know where they put the cucumbers over your eyes... No!
Cucumber make to eat, not to put over your eyes.
HE LAUGHS
Having all these things on your face, you're fake.
Would you not find a man attractive if he did all that stuff?
OK, I invite that person at my home...
..if he want to stay over,
he had to wash that thing off,
it's a different person I'm seeing.
And then sometimes it's a criminal you have in your house
and you don't know.
Teeth whitening, eyebrow plucking, what's that underneath your eyes?
Guyliner. Guyliner. And concealer.
When you're concealing is when you're hiding ting from police.
You're concealing then.
How about we go to a local salon... Right.
..and see the different options that are available to people?
Yeah, to men. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Do I look fresh? Does it look different? Nope.
Can you not tell the difference? No, no. Not one little bit.
OK, well, fine. If you think I'm bad,
you're not going to like what we're going to do
cos we're going to go meet a young guy called Adam
and he takes, like, male grooming, like, to the extreme.
I'm Adam. I'm 27 years old and I live in London.
I mainly work in modelling and presenting
so, obviously, male grooming is quite a big part of my job.
I can spend two and a half, three hours for the whole routine.
Eyebrows I get waxed sometimes.
I like a facial... I shouldn't admit this.
I tend to use lots of moisturiser on my body as well.
I like a long bath, keep nails trimmed.
Teeth whitening as well.
I even have a teeth paint that reflects camera light
and you have really white teeth.
So we've heard that you're very much into the whole male grooming.
A tiny bit. THEY LAUGH
I look after my skin. OK.
So it's things like facials, moisturising,
sometimes I am a fan of treatments.
What kind of treatment, like?
I have once had blood taken form my arm
and then they microneedle it into your face,
and it could cost in the realm of almost £1,000.
Ooh! It's a good investment. It works very well.
Can I ask you about teeth?
Well, I paint a gel on my teeth and then I go on a sunbed.
And I smile on the sunbed for ten minutes,
and you whiten your teeth that way rather than going to a dentist.
It's something you put in your mouth?
You paint the gel on your teeth. It's a teeth-whitening gel.
So your mouth's going to dribble when that's in your mouth.
You dribble horrendously, but I'm trying to do things on a budget.
It works really well. When you do that, you're as a Cheshire cat.
Yeah, literally for ten minutes.
Are you wearing make-up now? I'm wearing some make-up now.
I'm wearing my coloured contacts. What you're telling me now is lies.
It's offering the best version that I can.
What draw you into the grooming? Just... In school were you bullied?
Yeah, at school I had a rough time for how I looked.
I was quite nerdy. What did I say?
Yeah, I had a jaw realignment brace so I had the big metal thing,
I had springs in my mouth, I had spots, I had glasses.
Everything you could imagine that a kid can find to pick on, I had.
So I've had a rough ride. HE LAUGHS
And you used to cry when they tease you?
I tried not to let it get me down, but, yeah, at the time,
unfortunately, yeah, the way I looked was an impact on it.
OK, I think we've got enough information here.
We is going to have a little chitchat.
I want you to go.
And don't peek in the mirror.
Don't look in any mirrors? Don't look in it!
I won't look at it, I promise. No mirrors. All right.
I would have just said, "Can you excuse us, please?" but, OK, fine.
You shut your mouth.
His face look as though he had treatment in it,
but he did it for a reason.
It's very expensive, as well, to be doing all that stuff.
Yeah, but vanity brings a lot of expense.
What he should do now is to be himself.
Just stay aware of where that line is.
Don't go beyond that line. Yeah.
I think we should get Adam back and have a word.
Adam! Yes.
Come on, stop looking in the mirror.
You were bullied when you were younger,
but you've turned that negative into a positive
and for that we commend you.
Oh, thank you. I like what you did with your life.
You have done a good job, but don't overdo it.
Yeah. Don't step over that line.
Yeah, just be constantly aware of it. I'm learning that balance.
You don't want to be hiding from nobody. No.
Be yourself.
I will take that advice, thank you. Your face look nice to me.
If it was in my young days...
Oh. ..I would give you a hug and a squeeze.
Oh, wow. But I'm too old for that now.
You're never too old.
That's my grandma, dude! ADAM LAUGHS
I'm joking! THEY LAUGH
Thank you. That's very kind. Thank you.
Done, good work.
Boom. Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Why are you always so violent?
Leave me alone. Ah, get in the...
I'm joking. It's a joke.
Get in. Go on. Don't try that with me.
OK, get in. OK.
IMITATES HER: "Don't try that with me."
There.
Given me enough grief for the day.
