What does Jameela Jamil believe about pleasure and happiness?
I really enjoy the job that I have the privilege of doing, but I also have a tremendous balance. And I care about nothing more than my happiness. I care about nothing more than pleasure. And I feel as though there's been such a war on women's pleasure in particular. It's considered this privilege, not a right. You know, that's why in the chocolate adverts from when we were growing up, the woman has like an orgasm from eating a bite of chocolate because she can't believe. Yeah, but she can't believe she's like, oh, something nice for the day. Yeah.
Shamila Jamil. Hello. Welcome to Reclaiming. Thank you for having me. Yeah, it's so nice to meet you. When I was thinking about, it's like, oh, we've been connected on social media, but we haven't actually met.
Yeah, it was years and years ago, right? I think we would have messaged...
yeah each other like pre-pandemic maybe oh i'm sure it was yeah absolutely and then you've got we have mutual friends but in beanie feldstein yes and scarlett curtis yeah yes i love them yeah me too me too well i mean i i had the You can correct me if I'm wrong and we can always cut it. I had the impression you guys were like a little group. No. No. Okay.
No, no, no. Scarlett and I have been friends for a really long time since she was 14. And then I met Beanie because we did a movie together.
Okay.
Okay, because Scarlett and Beanie are close. Very. Right. So I just made the assumption that you guys were.
How does Jameela view the importance of friendships versus romantic relationships?
Yeah, no, they're like a decade younger than me. So I'm just like, I'm more of a, I'm the internet's drunk aunt. And I am that in real life as well.
Did you give yourself that name or did somebody? I did.
Yeah. I think it's important just to come out front with how you wish to brand yourself. And I feel as though that felt like a very safe space for me. It felt like something I could live up to.
And also unique. I don't think anybody else has that. No, I agree. I agree.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not trying to hang on to my youth. I'm trying to launch my crone years as early as possible and just get as far away from youth as possible.
Yeah. I mean, there's so much to talk to you about. And I was thinking about when Julia Fox was on, she was talking a little about how She lives with friends of hers and her son, but she didn't talk about it necessarily as this like communal living, right? Which I think is what you're doing.
I was doing for the last 10 years. We've taken a kind of brief respite, but the plan is to get back to communal living as fast as possible. Everyone's just working out their logistics and saving up for a home and we're going to buy land together and actually do it properly as like a commune that I'm going to call Jamilville because I'm a maniac.
Okay.
And because I think it sounds funny.
Yeah. But what does that actually look like? What do you mean? Well, in terms of how many people are you, is that, are you always eating dinner together?
What experiences shaped Jameela's perspective on life and fulfillment?
It was five.
It will be probably more like 20, I imagine, or so. And I don't plan on us, you know, we're not all going to be fucking or anything. It's not going to be a cult. It's just going to be more like everyone being near each other, helping tend to the land together, helping build up a community, making ourselves somewhat independent. and having one another nearby. Really being able to actually love thy neighbor and being able to fraternize if and when we feel like it, but mostly just having a village. We don't have villages anymore, especially not in the West. I grew up largely in Spain in my childhood and the way they raise children there is completely different. The way that they live is completely different.
Everyone's like 20 minutes walking distance from each other. And the teenagers help with the kids and that's very normalized. And children don't go to bed at six or seven and the parents don't stop their lives at 7 p.m. There's wine in the children's parks for the parents to be able to enjoy socializing. The children go to sleep whenever.
Maybe that would help solve shit in our country. Yeah, I'm telling you.
