Career
Theroux's first work as a journalist was in San Jose, California, where he appeared in Metro Silicon Valley, an alternative free weekly newspaper. He had been hired as a Spy writer in 1992. He served as a reporter on Michael Moore's TV Nation show, which included segments on offbeat cultural topics such as selling Avon to women in the Amazon Rainforest, the Jerusalem syndrome, and attempts by the Ku Klux Klan to rebrand itself as a civil rights body for whites.
Theroux was signed to a BBC development contract when television Nation came to an end, and he authored Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends. He has written for a variety of magazines, including Hip Hop Connection and The Idler.
Theroux's Weird Weekends (1998-2000), many in the United States, followed marginal (mostly American) subcultures such as survivalists, black nationalists, white supremacists, and porn actors, often by living near or near the people involved in them. His documentary style often exposed the flaws or farcical elements of some seriously held beliefs.He described the aim of the series as:
Theroux accompanied a new British celebrity in each program's daily life, interviewing them as they go. In a 2005 survey by Channel 4, Jimmy Savile's film When Louis Met Jimmy was named one of the best documentaries of all time. Savile was one of the nation's most prolific sex offenders, according to the NSPCC some years after the episode was shot.
In a 2015 interview, Theroux stated that he intended to produce a sequel to Savile for the BBC to find how the late entertainer's drug use lasted for so long, to meet people he knew well, and examine his own reflections on his inability to dig more deeply into the first case. This sequel to Savile on BBC Two aired on Sunday, October 2nd, 2016, and lasted 1 hour, 15 minutes.
The former Conservative MP Neil Hamilton and his wife Christine were arrested during filming due to false accusations of indecent assault.
Max Clifford tried to set up Theroux, but the crew caught him lying during the recording.
A retrospective called Life with Louis was launched after the completion of this series. Louis, Martin & Michael was a documentary about George Jackson's attempt to get an interview with him, but he lost out to Martin Bashir, who went on to make the film Life With Michael Jackson. On a Best-Of collection of Weird Weekends, selected episodes of When Louis Met... were included as bonus material.
Theroux returned to American themes in these special programs, beginning in 2003, with longer duration and in a more natural way. He began a new contract with the BBC in March 2006 with the goal of making ten films over the course of three years. Criminal gangs in Lagos, Neo-Nazis in America, and ultra-Zionists in Israel are among the specials. He also explores child psychiatry and the California and Florida prison systems. The Most Hated Family in America, a 2007 film, received a lot of critical attention from the international media.
My Scientology Movie, a film made in October 2016, was launched by Theroux in October 2016. The film, produced by Simon Chinn, a school friend of Theroux's — and directed by John Dower, follows Theroux as they attempt to gain access to the mysterious Church of Scientology. It premiered at the London Film Festival in 2015 and was released in theaters in the United Kingdom on October 7th.
Forbidden America is a three-part series focusing on the usage of social media in the United States by various groups, including the alt-right, rappers, and pornographic film actors. On the Extreme and Online Louis visits the new incarnation of the American far right: a partisan movement born out of the internet and now making its way into politics. Nick Fuentes and Baked Alaska are interviewed by Theroux.
In 2005, Theroux published his first book, The Call of the Weird: Travels in American Subcultures. He relates his return to the United States to learn about the lives of several of the people he's related to in his television shows.
In September 2019, Theroux published Gotta Get Theroux This Isa. In November 2021, he published Theroux the Keyhole, his third book, a diary of the UK COVID-19 lockdowns.
Theroux launched Grounded with Louis Theroux from his home in April 2020, a phenomenon that may not have existed before the COVID-19 pandemic began.
Theroux appears on several occasions on The Adam and Joe Show DVD, as well as on The Adam Buxton Podcast.
Theroux agreed to film a cameo in the 1997 gay pornography film "Take a Peak" as part of the Weird Weekends episode "Porn." He did not appear in the film as a sexual artist, but he made a brief appearance as a park ranger looking for a criminal. He appeared as a live salesman for an at-home paper shredder for the Home Shopping Network in the Weird Weekends episode "Infomercials."
Theroux captained the team that represented Magdalen College, Oxford, on BBC Four's Christmas University Challenge in December 2015. The team won the tournament by 220 to 130 in a first-round match.
Theroux performed in the Weird Weekends episode "Rap" 22 years ago, becoming a reusable audio track with backing music in April 2022. The trend saw people lip-syncing to the beat and staging a accompanying dance. More footage of Theroux's rapping ability has surfaced, prompting the BBC to publish an article listing seven times he "proved he was a huge hip hop head." Theroux released "Jiggle Jiggle," a full version of the rap he created with Manchester DJ pair Duke & Jones in May.
