Jacob Rees-Mogg draws baffled reactions by comparing himself to Tyson Fury

In a recent interview on the ITV program This Morning, broadcasted on November 27, 2024, Jacob Rees-Mogg, a former British MP, made a striking comparison between himself and his spouse, Helena Rees-Mogg, to the famous boxing couple Tyson and Paris Fury. The couple appeared to promote their upcoming fly-on-the-wall documentary titled Meet the Rees-Moggs, which is set to showcase their family life, including their six children: Mary, Peter, Thomas, Anselm, Alfred, and Sixtus. The interview was conducted by Cat Deeley and Dermot O'Leary, where both hosts were left stunned by the comparison he made during the conversation. Jacob noted that, like Tyson Fury's portrayal in his own documentary At Home With The Furys, he sees himself and his wife playing the roles of more serious figures against the vibrant backdrop of their children. The trailer for Meet the Rees-Moggs gives audiences a glimpse into the ordinary yet privileged life of the family living in their Somerset mansion. By incorporating humor into the narrative, Jacob revealed that his maid humorously reacts to some of his less-than-ideal habits regarding laundry, further enhancing the portrayal of a relatable family backdrop. The conversation turned amusing when Rees-Mogg reflected on how his children perceive him. One child described him as 'funny', while another humorously countered with 'very unfunny', exemplifying the playful banter they share as a family. Additionally, the documentary touches on Rees-Mogg’s life background; for instance, he had a notable childhood endeavor selling stocks at the tender age of twelve, illustrating his long-standing interest in investments and finance. Moreover, it has been noted that the couple has been married for 17 years. Helena shared a candid moment about their relationship, admitting that it was not love at first sight, a revelation made all the more comedic by her request not to relay this to Jacob. They both engaged in a light-hearted exchange about their viewing habits, with Helena discussing how they missed out on following popular television personalities like the Fury family until after they began filming the documentary. Overall, the interview and trailer project a unique glimpse into their family dynamics, prompting both amusement and curiosity among viewers as they prepare for the documentary's release.
