In this episode of Minutes With, Charlie Hendrie shares how his life took him from a difficult childhood in Sunderland to becoming one of the youngest recruits to pass Royal Marines training.
He reflects on serving in Afghanistan, coming under fire for the first time and later building a successful career in close protection, working with high-profile clients including Elton John and Emma Watson. But after leaving that world behind, Charlie became caught in a cycle of partying, addiction and increasingly destructive decisions.
He opens up about the journey that led to his arrest with 35kg of MDMA in the car, the devastating moment he realised it was over, receiving a 10-year prison sentence and losing the identity he had spent years building. Charlie also discusses rebuilding his life after five years in prison, refusing to be defined by his worst decision and finding a new sense of purpose through fitness and fatherhood.
