It’s week six of lockdown and we find Baxter in an hilariously loquacious mood. “I’ve gone through about five different stages of panic, not panicking. Then you have a phase of liking it, ‘Isn’t this amazing, everyone’s so charitable’ then I got back into a healthy cynical ‘fuck this, I want to work’. If anyone talks about how quiet it is now, or says something soft about it, I’m like ‘oh yeah get over it’.”
Locked down with his seventeen-year-old son, Cosmo, Baxter chats to The Forty-Five founder, Charlie Gunn, about writing a book, parenting in lockdown, his bohemian upbringing and watching the apocalypse unfold from the safety of his west-London balcony.
