Heartbreaking to watch this interview. What a difference just over a year made to this lads life. Charisma and good looks, things that every man wishes to have but possessing these qualities wasn't enough. Hearing Michael's story has really hit home that mental issues can affect anyone regardless of how successful they have been. He had so much to give and everything in life to gain. Gone too soon, bless you Mike
My heart broke when he said ‘I never have regrets’. Poor guy, mental health is so important. It’s scary because deep down and behind the scenes he’s really hurting. RIP.
TheMarker2015 L.S he was a awesome dude. We met in Koh Phi Phi Thailand , 3 months before going to Love Island, he even bought me a drink. This guy was great . Look at his Instagram page and look me up Jaypolo_ if you don’t believe me
@@jaypolo8819 So sorry for the loss of your buddy - it's so evident what a genuine guy he was. Treasure those memories you made in Thailand together & the fact that this lovely soul left such an indelible mark on you. Not many people can count themselves lucky enough to come into contact with such a decent person, and I'm sure he'd say the same of you. Be well, Mr - you've got one of the best guardian angels going beaming down on you from up there x
Barbara Lerner Spectre He was really kind, met him at the gym and he took a picture with me. Many others would’ve just declined and said they were too busy.
Makes me laugh how everyone’s commenting like what a lovely gent and stuff like that, your all nobs if he wasn’t dead you’d still be slating him calling him muggy mike. Everyone suddenly loves somebody as soon as they’re dead
Not true bruh. Some jealous people slated him but only a small percentage. Mike looked like a Greek God, women would love a guy like that he was perfect. Lovely humble guy too.
It's been months and im still crying watching this video! He was such a beautiful and sensitive guy. I wish people would see deeper and not judge a person according to looks and on what the media and TV portray him to be.
He come across as such a gentle & beautiful person. The things he was saying in this interview to me sounded like he really wanted to be comfortable and make something of his life! R. I. P Mike 💔
R.i.p mike 💔💔😞 I hope u are at peace now thoughts are with your family and close friends u will be missed such a lovely young man soo young soo much to live for just isn’t fair at all u poor soul 🙏💕💕 fly high beautiful
I think money was probally why he chose to end his life. He says ‘I used to stress when I didn’t have money’ I honesty think he wasn’t making money and his life wasn’t going the way he expected after the show. I’m sure there were other factors too but this seems to be a big one. RIP Mike
Definitely. These people are forced to keep up appearances on social media and in real life constantly, which is expensive, otherwise they fade into obscurity and end up back in the same position they were in before the show. For the first year this is easy and companies are throwing money at them but their fame gradually diminishes as time goes on. They are young men and women who don't save or invest properly because their naivety leads them to believe their fame will last forever and they end up spiraling into debt. Mike's death is a tragedy but hopefully it will make other people think twice about trying to get rich and famous from reality TV.
@@CitrusMenace this dude clearly wasn't at all the 'muggy mike' character we were all led to believe he was. Just cause people look comfident on tv and like they love life doesn't mean its true I guess.
@@tadeuszmusic Yeah I always thought the muggy nickname was undeserved anyway. He came into the show late, was forced to choose a girl who was already coupled up, chose Olivia because she expressed some interest in him and then apparently that makes him some "muggy" womanizer when that clearly wasn't the case.
DirtyyChimp na the show knows he wasn’t muggy. But they also knew it would cause a reaction and it did haha. A massive one. It’s all planned with reality tv and they knew some kinda nickname would be popular and catch on. That’s party of the issue is these shows only care for the money and not really the people on it. Don’t get me wrong I love the show but I don’t think the people know what they are getting into.
After watching love island and seeing all the cast where they at now, the news of Michael really hit me you really cant judge abook by its cover throughout gettin really kno him he was a stand up guy man this hurts even tho its been 5years rip
I think people judged him harshly, he doesn’t seem like a nasty person, and of course he was insanely gob smacking beautiful. He must have been so broken to end he’s life at such a young age. RIP xxxx
Looks mean nothing. They're only a burden and get in the way of finding true love. I can't get over Mike's death. Never met him but I saw vulnerability and low self esteem in him. I liked him after the celebs go dating program because I saw him like a brother. Please women, respect and love men like they're your brothers. I would do anything to bring this man back to the earth. I have prayed for his soul. 😔
I feel like hes his true self in this interview but had a pressure from the camera on tv to act different he’s really natural, funny, and himself here. From someone who knew him. R.i.p Mike.
Beautiful soul. May you rest in paradise mike. We all want the same things. Happiness, peace and health. Don’t chase the wrong things. We don’t need money, we don’t need material things. You’re blessed and beautiful with a good heart. Don’t chase the things that don’t matter. If you are struggling, every night before you go to sleep, write down 5 things you’re grateful for. Speak to someone. You’re not alone, the storm will pass, if you face it and ride the storm you will come out shining. You truly are blessed, there is someone out there praying for your position. Be thankful for life. If you have a good heart, people that love you, you have a truly amazing life. I’m so sorry that life got too hard for you Mike. Never be too afraid to open up, someone will always be there for you. You matter too. May you be at peace up in heaven mike x
And yet with the lifestyle he was thrown into money was precisely the thing he needed the most. He was in debt and I’m sure that was a big factor in his suicide
Such a sad ending for this young chap. it’s all becoming such a regular thing these days whether you’re a celeb or not. Maybe in his memory, his Essex pals could start up a charity & support others suffering, they can keep his legacy alive x
So so sad to think this such to down earth man even thought of taking his own life! I don’t even know him and can’t stop thinking of him it’s so so sad!! I always followed megan mckenna’s stories of when they were together.
Weirdest thing about this beautiful boy is that every video iv watched and photo I have seen that seems to be towards the end of last year, I can see the sadness in his eyes. I understand him, I understand looking into the sad eyes, I recognise them. He is talking about money here, money stress. Rip lovely
Such a shame; especially when he speaks about his aim being to make as much money as possible and we now know that he was in financial difficulty before he took his own life. He must have had a lot of worry surrounding that - pressure and perhaps a feeling of failure. Yet he was so young. Still a whole lifetime to work past those difficulties and come out the other side. So sad. May he rest in peace.
What a great guy.... he doesn’t realise how great looking he really is. Stunning....I’m straight and I know that. Shame I’m getting to know Mike after his suicide! Sad! It’s so common! RIP A guy I never met but would like to have.👍👍🇬🇧
So sad , such a handsome guy looking forward with such enthusiasm. He only wanted what be all want ultimately. It’s very sad how he admitted how much he worried about money in the past. Just heartbreaking to see him so positive then, and how fame didn’t match his expectations and ended up talking his own life.
Anyone looks gorgeous when their only goal in life is maintaining a ripped body and getting a tan going. I reckon he knew the shallow girls he associated with wouldn't give a toss about him if he didn't look a certain way and it definitely contributed to him taking his own life aswell as being in debt. Seemed like a nice guy that's metal health was wrecked chasing fame. How love island still gets aired today after the suicides, abuse and so on is proof of what a hopeless society we now live in.
you can tell in his eyes he is hurting I have the same problem but im a religious man and in my faith taking your own life is a sin laugh at me .. whatever but no man should ever take his own life. it happens 12 times a day in the UK it's really heart breaking. This woman was more concentrated on his looks and didn't care how he felt .. maybe that is the issue. Every one makes each other a image nowadays and tears apart the actual feeling of another human being because of fame or image or money. We need to stop tearing each other down in this country men. Our grandfathers died for this country and we should have more respect for our history and present to move forward into a more positive future.
This guys seemed to have it all. Tall, dark hair, birds all over him, confident, money spilling out his pockets... but what this extremely superficial modern day western generation don’t seem to understand is that there is more to life than all that. People view all the celebs on love island and what not as gods who have it all. But no, no one knows what someone is going through on the inside. Sad how this extremely superficial world is taking shape right now. There’s more to life than what the media and society tells you...
He also seems nervous here is eyes are darting everywhere he's moving around alot seems on edge poor guy he was putting on a tough facade but was dealing with some things in private
He’s trying to talk and this reporter keeps asking vapid questions in response. I understand she is directed to do so by the company she works for, but I question the morals of anyone that is willing to do that job.
Big sign in hindsight "used to stress so much about money" he was convinced the jobs will keep rolling in, loads of money, set himself up then the love island wave spits you out after a few months and jobs dry up an your yesterdays news. So sad this, so sorry Mike, RIP
The problem is everyone keeps telling him how good looking he is but hes also a human with the same insecurities as everyone else..R.I.P Mike
"why were you nervous? Have you looked in the mirror?". PRECISELY why we have this problem amongst men (and women) with mental health problems.
Sinequanon J yes, 100%.
Lol ridiculous
@@lessandra602 what's ridiculous?
Sinequanon J as if the way we feel about life solely depends on what genetics gave to us
@@lessandra602 you're missing my point. I didn't blame genetics, I blamed the media and social pressures.
Wow he sounded like a humble guy, what a shame.

@@rorykeane7527 I heard the same thing about zyzz. That people didn’t like him at all when he was alive. He was more popular when he died lol
He looked like a young Elvis Presley. Stunning. R.I.P

I love his and montanas friendship
It’s such a shame. I hope he is at peace now. RIP x

Hopefully, you've found peace.

Gorgeous man like a Greek God. Lovely personality too. What chance have the mere mortals got if he felt depressed??
More was expected of him though. The average person doesn't have that kind of pressure to deal with.
R.I.P Mike 😫❤️
Seems really sad that people only acknowledge these great people when it’s too late...things need to change.
Such a tragic thing to happen over 2 years on from his passing. And the other sad thing is he was only 26 years old.
