Rob Brydon discusses lifelong struggles with acne ahead of Gavin and Stacey Christmas special

Rob Brydon will appear in the new Gavin and Stacey Christmas special on December 25. The 59-year-old comedian has openly discussed his long-term struggles with acne, describing it as a "vulnerability" rather than a source of embarrassment. In his 2012 autobiography, Brydon shared how his skin condition affected his confidence, particularly in romantic situations. He noted that while family and friends downplayed his acne, it had a significant impact on his self-esteem. Brydon has sought treatment from a dermatologist, using vitamin A supplements to manage his acne. He now deals with deep scars from his past condition, which he continues to address.
