Born in 1978, Laurence Paul Fox is a musician, actor, and political activist. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and made his acting debut in the movie The Hole. He is a member of the Fox family of the entertainment industry (2001). James Hathaway from the drama series Lewis is his most well-known performance (2006–2015). Holding Patterns is the name of a studio album he also released (2016).
Fox, a conservative, vocally opposed the George Floyd demonstrations and the COVID-19 vaccines in 2020. He ran unsuccessfully for mayor of London in 2021 after creating the right-wing populist political party Reclaims and railing against what he called “excessive political correctness.” He won 1.9% of the vote, forfeiting his election deposit in the process.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Fox frequently criticized the British government’s response and encouraged people to violate the government’s social distancing rules and other public health restrictions. During an interview on Good Morning Britain, he said that “if the NHS can’t cope, then the NHS isn’t fit for purpose”. Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, the show’s hosts, condemned his remarks. He took part in an anti-lockdown protest during a national lockdown in March 2021. After being reported for allegedly breaking rules during his election campaign, he was also visited by police, though no action was taken.
