Great Company with Jamie Laing · DANIEL MAYS: I've Worked with Hollywood’s Biggest Stars But I Still Sometimes Feel Like an Imposter · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

There was a sort of,

I was just scared of it.

I didn't think because I'd gone to a local dance school.

That's where it all started.

Stage one.

And for some reason, I didn't go in the second year.

And then it was like an itch.

I couldn't stop scratching.

And I went and like I remember my friend Caroline, who was the dance teacher at stage one, said, look, you've got a talent for this.

You've got an enthusiasm, like sort of reconsider it.

And I auditioned again and then I got in.

So I went like the third year of secondary school.

And there I was in my Italia Conti blue uniform, you know, up on... I mean, it was a massive departure, you know, because it was... It was... It felt like I was leaving, you know, that life that I'd known and...

Yeah, because I'm an Essex boy, but in a weird way, I consider myself far more of a Londoner now because I was commuting up there and I was just mixing with so many different varieties of people that it just sort of opened up my world, really.

How old are you at that point?

I was like 13.

It's young, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And when I think about it now, yeah, to do that commute every day, five times a week.

But absolutely, I mean, and then I'm like doing jazz, I'm doing ballet, I'm doing modern, I'm doing acting.
