Tuppence Middleton: OCD, Dua Lipa Faux Pas Revealed
9 May
Summary
- Middleton lives with OCD since age 11, discussing emetophobia.
- She mistook Dua Lipa for an indie artist, unaware of her fame.
- A housewarming party led to a significant realization about a relationship.
Tuppence Middleton, the 39-year-old actress known for "Mank" and "Sense8," has spoken candidly about her lifelong struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which began when she was 11. Her emetophobia, an extreme fear of vomiting, is a significant component of her OCD.
Middleton shared an embarrassing encounter where she congratulated Dua Lipa on releasing a single, mistakenly believing her to be an independent artist. The realization of Lipa's immense global fame, with 88 million followers, came as a shock the following day.
A significant personal revelation for Middleton occurred at a housewarming party, leading her to understand that a co-purchased house was a mistake. She also expressed a desire for a superpower offering encyclopedic recall of disease symptoms.
Her book, "Scorpions," detailing her experiences with OCD, is set to be released in paperback on May 21st. Middleton currently resides in London with her partner, film director Måns Mårlind, and their child.
