OJ Simpson was 'delusional' during infamous interview, Ruby Wax saysGood Morning Britain, ITV

Transcript

00:00And we were driving in a white van, Ford, we thought that was poignant because I couldn't get him in a restaurant.

00:06I'd call a restaurant and I'd say, my guest is OJ and you just hear the phone slam down.

00:12So we did the whole interview for three days in the back of a white van.

00:17He didn't see the irony, but he kept making us drive back and forth past his house.

00:22And then he'd ask me, did I want to know where the knife is?

00:25The whole time he was saying, he was teasing me to say, ask me, ask me.

00:31But I think he was delusional. I don't think he really knew what he had done.

00:35Because at one point he said, as a footballer, he could convince himself of anything.

00:40He could talk himself into winning a game even though he wasn't winning and he could block out everything else.

00:46So I think that's what he did. He blocked out everything else.

00:49But a little bit of his brain was saying, well, OJ, you did it.

00:52Do you have any doubt in your mind, as much as you feel you can say, that he was guilty?

01:04Well, as you were saying, he called me up after I did the interview and it was April 1st.

01:10And he called me up and he said, it's OJ, I did it.

01:14And then he went April fools and hung up.

01:16So, I mean, he was more or less telling me what he had done.

01:21But my friend, Helene Kennedy, who was a QC, said, don't go near it.

01:25Because his agent said, I'll tell you if you get me a job in the UK.

01:30And she said, move away from this.
