Mike Mew, the mewing guy, has been interviewed by The Guardian and comes off like a complete psycho.
An alarm goes off on Mew’s phone, reminding him that he has to pick up his daughters from primary school. He invites me to join him on the school run. “Bad,” he mutters as we approach the school. “Bad. One in two so far. It’s not going well.” And then I realise – he is assessing the faces of the children as they come out of the gates towards us. “It’s going to ruin their lives.” His teeth are clenched. “This is a lovely school, it really is. Really helpful teachers. If only I could get them to get the kids to keep their mouths fucking closed.” A woman – perhaps a teacher – waves at Mew as we walk past and he waves back, warmly. Then he turns to me, horrified. “You see that gummy smile?”
The orthodontist’s strange mouth exercises are beloved by incels seeking a manlier shape – and a fast-growing TikTok trend in classrooms around the world. So why has he been struck off the dentists’ register?
