![]() Still, how do you stay in the fight, remain a voice for the marginalized, when you yourself are no longer suffering? The question looms over Gadsby as they gear up to release their third Netflix special-a feel-good show titled Something Special, streaming on May 9. The way Gadsby sees it, they have two options: fight like hell against fame’s insistent tug toward out-of-touch aloofness or go “the Gwyneth Paltrow road.” Embrace delusion and say things like, “It's actually really hard having four skiing instructors,” Gadsby deadpans, before clarifying, “I don’t think she’s lying!”Īs much as Gadsby thinks their slow transformation into Gwyneth Paltrow would make for “interesting performance art,” they concede it’s unlikely to happen. The realization has put them in an existential tailspin. ![]() They just go, ‘You eat now.’” At the same time, Gadsby recognizes that they now have the kind of privilege that affords such cluelessness. “You don't do anything for yourself on set,” Gadsby tells me. “It does things to people’s brains,” Gadsby says, recalling a time on set when “some rich white lady said, ‘It’s really hard being a mother and an actress.’” The comment struck Gadsby as clueless. Gadsby worries that fame will turn them into a “bad apple.” They look bewildered, like a dog in space, as they try to square the person they were before Nanette with the star they have since become. “I genuinely don’t understand this world,” Gadsby, 45, tells me over a recent evening Zoom call from their home in Melbourne. The comedian’s paradigm-shifting Netflix special, Nanette, went viral in 2018, rocketing Gadsby into an orbit of celebrity that, to this day, they cannot process.
