HONOR
The airport was a shit-show. Over the years, Iâve acclimatised to the intrusion of the paparazzi, but I dread them most when the press has a particularly juicy scandal to hold over us. And given our success at keeping most of Jacksonâs sex life definitively out of the public domain, this scandal is journalistic crack.
Those guys shouted questions at us that my children should not hear. Dickheads. They went over Rolloâs head, to a certain extent, but Serena was upset in the car, and Jackson had to explain to her that the press was once again making up silly stories about his work to sell newspapers.
She seemed to have bought it for now, but she was extra clingy to both of us yesterday evening. Poor little thing. Allowing the press access to a carefully curated edit of our family life is one thing, but exposing Serena and Rollo to that kind of highly stressful, conflict-ridden situation is the part of our fame I wrestle with the most. Itâs at times like this that the sensation of having made a Faustian pact haunts me.
Worse, I couldnât help but see the whole farce unfold through Noahâs eyes yesterday. Heâs a normal guyâoverachieving, but normalâfor whom a charade like that at the airport is just insane. It must have felt to him like travelling with a circus. Heâs obviously fully aware of our level of fame, and of the downsides of his getting involved with someone whose personal life is apparently fair game for the public. But I canât help but worry that having a front-row seat to how events played out yesterday will have been a massive turnoff for him.
I respond, as always, by overzealously tackling the things I can control. Iâm up at five-thirty the following morning to work off my French carb consumption in our basement gym. Rider, my ex-military PT, subjects me to a punishing routine of combat HIIT which leaves me collapsed on my gym mat, begging for mercy.
Next, itâs a shower and blow-dry before I pack on as many hydrating and resurfacing treatments as I think my skin can take. The flight and the wine consumption of the past few days have taken their tollâmy skin is patchier and less plump than normal. Two years ago, Honor Chapman Cosmetics expanded into Honor Chapman Skincare, and this is the area that really fascinates me.
My love of cosmetics was born out of years learning at the hands of makeup artists when I was on TV, but makeup is the ultimate example of managing symptoms, not causation. Yes, itâs fun to play and to change up my lookâI adore makeupâbut the more success a woman has treating the underlying condition of her skin, the less makeup sheâll need.
My skincare range is based on the concept of modular building blocks that help women (and the growing number of men who use them) feel confident enough to reduce the amount of makeup they âneedâ as a crutch to leave the house each day.
