Louis Theroux
The 49-year-old documentary-maker has revealed he loves jumping on his bicycle and riding through the streets of London, after he's downed an alcoholic drink.
He confessed: "I have done it. I don't recommend doing it. It's a good feeling. You feel very free."
Louis also refuses to wear a helmet when he's on his bike in London.
And the award-winning broadcaster admits he doesn't have any justification for refusing to following safety advice.
Asked if he wears a helmet, the TV star told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "No, I don't. A lot of people, especially friends and my wife too, they're not happy about that.
"I wish I had a really good reason.
"The only good reason I can give you is I have been cycling my whole life.
"When I was 11, I used to cycle from Wandsworth all the way along the Upper Richmond Road to school in East Sheen, which is about four miles each way."
Despite this, Louis insisted he's not a "danger freak".
The 'Weird Weekends' star explained: "I do have lights. I do wear a fluorescent jacket. I'm not a danger freak. I'm not trying to get knocked over.
"It's much more that I try and make my life as simple as possible, and a helmet just seems like one more complicating factor.
"You have to drag it around. I love bikes and I love cycling around. It makes you feel good about connecting with your body, you listen to a podcast."
