Emmy -award -winning actor Steven Graham, who became widely known in the Netflix series “Adolescence” launched a global project, through which he asks fathers to write a letter to their sons, on the subject ‘What does it mean to be a man’. Its purpose is to write a book about masculinity.

Graham will collaborate with Psychology Professor Orley Clinin for writing the book “Letters to Our Sons” (letters to our sons), which will be published by Bloomsbury publishing house October.

“There is undoubtedly a greater distance today between fathers and sons than ever in the past,” says the well -known actor. “We want to hear the views of men of all ages: Fathers for the first time, Fathers who are absent, fathers who were present but never really present, fathers who just want to find a way to say” I love you “. Tell their sons what they mean to them and talk openly about what it means to be a man‘he explained.

Those who want to participate can send their letters from today, Wednesday 15 October until 12 January 2026through the project website. The letters will be published along with that of Graham and other well -known personalities.

This global action comes after the global success of the Adolescence series, in which he was co-creator. The series examines the modern masculinity and Pressures facing teenage boys in the digital world.

“After adolescence, I realized how little room for fathers and sons is there to talk openly about what it means to be a man today,” says Graham.

The idea for the book came from Orley’s experiment: When her son became 13 years old, she asked her male friends to write letters with tips for adulthood. He talked about it with a common friend of Graham, who contacted them, knowing that “there was an idea for a book somewhere.”

The publisher of the book described it as a work with the ability to trigger a ‘authentic social and cultural movement“

Graham and Clinn announced that for every letter to be published, they will make a Donation to Manup Charity? and in Dad la soultwo organizations that help young men facing mental health problems.
