Derek Jacobi reflects on life, career and ageing at 87
Derek Jacobi, the renowned British actor, opens up at 87 about his life, love and career. Speaking at home with his husband of 47 years, Richard Clifford, Jacobi reflects on his early life in East London, his acting career from the Royal Shakespeare Company to iconic TV roles such as I, Claudius, and his approach to ageing. Despite his fame, Jacobi admits he struggles with his appearance and avoids watching himself on screen. The couple shares a playful, affectionate dynamic, with Clifford often taking on practical household roles while Jacobi focuses on his work. Jacobi candidly discusses the impact of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, noting the fear and loss within their community, yet he recalls personal safety measures. Retired from live theatre due to memory issues, he continues to work in TV and film, portraying complex figures like Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Jacobi values the immersive nature of acting, describing it as both escape and safety, while acknowledging Clifford's support in daily life. They maintain humour and warmth in their relationship, navigating the challenges of ageing together. Jacobi expresses a desire to reach 100, embracing life despite physical limitations, enjoying simple pleasures like white wine and a nap, and cherishing the sense of joy and companionship with Clifford.

First, although our findings revealed U-shaped associations between sleep duration and various phenotypes, these patterns require external validation in independent cohorts, potentially on the same scale as UKBB.
Second, the reliance on self-reported, questionnaire-based sleep duration measurement may introduce recall bias or misclassification..
