What a wonderful human being Richard is…….he reminds me of the following quote: "The kindest people are not born that way, they are made. They are the ones that have experienced so much at the hands of life, they are the ones who have dug themselves out of the dark, who have fought to turn every loss into a lesson. The kindest people do not just exist - they choose to soften where circumstance has tried to harden them, they choose to believe in goodness, because they have seen firsthand why compassion is so necessary. They have seen firsthand why tenderness is so important in this world." ~ Bianca Sparacino

Richard E Grant once got into a lift I was in. He gave me the warmest of smiles and I was so starstruck I couldn't speak. What made it worse is he has freckles which I have always found hugely attractive. Definitely my celebrity crush.

When Richard was the babydaddy in the movie after his wife died and was fantastic and of course his Withnail is a legendary performance. I admire his honesty, when his daughter was a film set runner and was badly treated by other actors until they found out that he is her dad. He met one of them and gave them a piece of his mind.❤
He has such a refreshing and healthy outlook on life - something we can all learn from! If you also want more from Richard there is plenty more from this interview on my podcast 'Reign' just click here to listen: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it! Josh

What a great interview from a man who oozes honesty. I was introduced to his acting in "Withnail and I", probably the best cult movie ever made, and to give a thumbs-up to Bruce Robinson who wrote and directed it.

Some rare people really know how to navigate life and the pains of this world with grace and wisdom, and he's one of them. His honesty is also so refreshing! At first I was a bit shocked but then it seemed natural to talk about things, made me reflect how we've become unused to it. But I agree, secrets can be burdening and corrosive, they can eat us up inside. Lots to think about. I really value the wisdom imparted by older people who got the hang of life or at least have it a bit more "figured out", especially if they're genuinely charming and warm. I will definitely take away things he said, particularly about life and death. Food for thought!
My father was the opposite. He was hateful, telling us we were ugly, etc., blaming us for not being boys. But when he was drunk on the weekends, he was lovely, easygoing, and never punished us. I followed him around like a puppy, wanting a pat on the head. If I showed an interest in what he was doing, and helped him with his electrical, carpentry, and mechanical hobbies, he was mostly nice. If you asked him a question, you’d get an hour long answer, explaining all aspects of the answer. Everyone thought that boring, except me. I learned a lot from him, the most valuable lesson being how to think. We grew closer when I was an adult and could stand up to him. I’m afraid I’m more like him than I care to admit.Luckily, I’d decided not to have children by the time I was 15, to end that cycle of abuse.

Wonderful man. Wonderful interview. Just to touch on the subject of grief - It's strange thing, because it can be why some people avoid talking to you (either due to it bringing to the surface, the feelings of grief that they still carry, or simply being completely unaware or unable to relate) or can be the thing that you bond over.

Love the discussion. There is another side to telling everyone about a terminal diagnosis. I was given 18months to 2 years on being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. Honestly opened up, told everyone and the word spread through the flats where I live. Everyone became patient and so kind. I went into treatment of which I was warned was unlikely to extend my prognosis. Yet here I am nearly 7 years later still in remission and half believing being so open has meant many thought I was either making it up or exaggerating the diagnosis. Fortunately my wife was present during that appointment and is thus a witness. Often, now I feel I wished I'd kept the news to myself.
I am so sorry you went through that and sending you all the positivity and health your way! You sound like such a strong person - thank you for sharing.

I loved this. Thank you! ☺️ I was mocked at school and it still happens o occasionally because I am considered 'unusual' and I also have a long face. Watching my favorite film of all time, 'Withnail and I' with this fabulous man made me a little more confident. I met Richard briefly at a book signing. The most lovely man.❤
Look at his house on house and gardens. It is really wonderful. He has such great taste along with his late wife. it is really magical. full of great trinkets. He comes across really well.

Well I hope Richard sees this because I'd like him to know that from the first time I saw him I loved his face. I felt and still do that there's so much authentic emotional life in his face that he steals every scene. Incidentally, I must say how wonderful he was in the Marple thingy which I watch over and over again just to see him slay the part of the writer nephew Raymond. I laugh like mad every time.
Fab interview... Great stuff. V interesting... love Richard E... def going to get the book now and I'll check out other interviews....

He dropped his agent after the agent got him his role in ‘withnail and I’. I guess he thought the agent wasn’t good enough once he hit the heady heights. It’s a shame it didn’t last. He should have stayed put then maybe the agent might’ve found him another good role, coz no one else did! I liked ‘Jack and Sarah’ though.
What a wonderful person his piano teacher was - knowing he needed a calm, safe haven and some uplifting distraction. I just wonder if maybe she made an excuse to turn her chair away so she could safely process the horrifying story he'd just told her.

Christ on a stick. And I thought my alcoholic parents were bad but the gun to head thing just show that alcohol is an EXTRMELY dangerous drug...causes more violence than any of others.

The interviewer could take a leaf out of Richard E Grant's book and speak so that he in intelligible. It's BOOOOOK not BERK! Spoiled what otherwise could have been a fabulous interview. I hope someone else invites him to do same.
@ thank you! Appreciate the support! Always blows my mind when someone goes out of their way to comment something like that, when it’s my channel and no one is forcing them to watch it 😂👑
Enjoying the story from Grant - but the interviewer is quite possibly the most annoying thing I have encountered in 2024. His accent and demeanour is punchable - very punch able
@@MaxUtley Did you seriously take the time out to leave a comment on my own page which NO ONE is forcing you to watch and say I am PUNCH able? So suggesting you would like to cause me physical harm? That is truly so low and I hope somewhere in your brain you realise how wild that is. Happy new year to you, hope you learn some sort of manners this year.

I can now see him totally being the Doctor. He has a bit of a vibe like Peter Capaldi.
That would be an incredible role for him! Love this idea! If you also want more from Richard there is plenty more from this interview on my podcast 'Reign' just click here to listen: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it! Josh
Dr. Who is dead. 😢
The BBC killed it with their woke nonsense.
Such a role is beneath Richard. I love the guy, but I'd personally twat him in the mouth with a butchered baby seal if he ever played the Dr. 😑
How he is sane after his childhood experiences is amazing!
Love Richard
He's such a special person isn't he? If you also want more from Richard there is plenty more from this interview on my podcast 'Reign' just click here to listen: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it! Josh
I loved this. Thank you! ☺️ I was mocked at school and it still happens o occasionally because I am considered 'unusual' and I also have a long face. Watching my favorite film of all time, 'Withnail and I' with this fabulous man made me a little more confident. I met Richard briefly at a book signing. The most lovely man.❤
Excellent, excellent interview. Thank you - what a gift. Of course, Richard E Grant is an outstanding interviewee also :)
He is a joy to watch and to listen to, what a treasure.
Look at his house on house and gardens. It is really wonderful. He has such great taste along with his late wife. it is really magical. full of great trinkets. He comes across really well.

A really genuine person despite living in the potentially shallow world of acting ❤
I highly recommend Jack & Sarah. Also Warlock with the late Julian Sands.

@reignwithjoshsmith no worries enjoyed it will look at others 👍
@ love to hear it! Enjoy!
Well I hope Richard sees this because I'd like him to know that from the first time I saw him I loved his face. I felt and still do that there's so much authentic emotional life in his face that he steals every scene. Incidentally, I must say how wonderful he was in the Marple thingy which I watch over and over again just to see him slay the part of the writer nephew Raymond. I laugh like mad every time.
Fab interview... Great stuff. V interesting... love Richard E... def going to get the book now and I'll check out other interviews.... I've never tried audible... but may give it a go.... want to relisten to all Stephen Fry... H potter books. We listened to them on tapes originally we got from library haha x
Fantastic. I don’t normally enjoy this sort of thing but Richard is very engaging
He's such a great actor!
What a star! 🌟

I feel Josh is a little overwhelmed and gobsmacked with Richard´s openness here. Fair?
That is fair! It's so rare to interview someone who is wiling to tell this many stories and be this open. There is plenty more honesty from Richard in the full interview on my podcast 'Reign' just click here to listen: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you enjoy it, Josh
@@reignwithjoshsmith I totally get that! I would probably be reduced to incoherent, stuttering nonsense, so I still take my hat off to you!
What a fantastic bloke. Great.
Poor man how much he suffered as a child with that father…….
He talks a lot more about their relationship on the podcast, so you want to hear more, check out the full interview on my podcast 'Reign' just click here to listen: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Josh
OMG this man had a horrific childhood.
Great interview
Omg I never knew Richard's history about his father and mother; such trauma🥺💔😔
We lay ourselves at your feet !! 🤘🥰
RIGHT! We love Richard! If you also want more from Richard there is plenty more from this interview on my podcast 'Reign' just click here to listen: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it! Josh
He dropped his agent after the agent got him his role in ‘withnail and I’. I guess he thought the agent wasn’t good enough once he hit the heady heights. It’s a shame it didn’t last. He should have stayed put then maybe the agent might’ve found him another good role, coz no one else did! I liked ‘Jack and Sarah’ though.
What a helluva nice bloke
What a wonderful person his piano teacher was - knowing he needed a calm, safe haven and some uplifting distraction. I just wonder if maybe she made an excuse to turn her chair away so she could safely process the horrifying story he'd just told her.
Lovely man. Aussie Bob ❤
He’s so lovely ❤
Jesus! What a life story 😭😱

@@reignwithjoshsmith I'd rather just work with him and get to know him that way
Gawd out of the frying pan into the fire.
Had no idea about his upbringing. Astonishing.
I was absolutely astonished too, listening to this story in real life! What an incredible man Richard is! If you want more from Richard check out the full interview on my podcast 'Reign' here hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you enjoy it, Josh
Legend!
I remember watching Withnail and I it's one of my top films brilliant .If you haven't seen it get it now.😂😂😂
If you’ve got nothing to hide….. however, your brother has a problem with your story…
Kudos to Bruce Robinson for this.

Christ on a stick. And I thought my alcoholic parents were bad but the gun to head thing just show that alcohol is an EXTRMELY dangerous drug...causes more violence than any of others.
It is really shocking what he grew up with, isn't it? If you also want more from Richard talking about this, check out the full interview on my podcast 'Reign' here to listen: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Josh

as a matter of interest there’s that graham norton with sarah paulson holding richards hand…. so…
So what? Sarah is in a relationship with another actress and has been for years.
@ …was that not the point though
What a disfunctional family Richard had. So sad.
Richard has suffered terrible trauma
The interviewer could take a leaf out of Richard E Grant's book and speak so that he in intelligible. It's BOOOOOK not BERK! Spoiled what otherwise could have been a fabulous interview. I hope someone else invites him to do same.
@@maureenrhysjones4643 and a merry Christmas to you, too!
Wow so rude, the interviewer is understood perfectly
@ thank you! Appreciate the support! Always blows my mind when someone goes out of their way to comment something like that, when it’s my channel and no one is forcing them to watch it 😂👑
@@reignwithjoshsmith you’re welcome 🙂
@@reignwithjoshsmith Not only are you easy to understand, I find your accent delightful. Merry Christmas to you too as well 🤗
Enjoying the story from Grant - but the interviewer is quite possibly the most annoying thing I have encountered in 2024. His accent and demeanour is punchable - very punch able
@@MaxUtley Did you seriously take the time out to leave a comment on my own page which NO ONE is forcing you to watch and say I am PUNCH able? So suggesting you would like to cause me physical harm? That is truly so low and I hope somewhere in your brain you realise how wild that is. Happy new year to you, hope you learn some sort of manners this year.
That comment is nuts!! 😂😂😂somebody having a bad day and taking it out on you !! Basically you are literally his punch bag ! 🙄🙄🙄
hooooooooooow powerful was this? how powerrrrrful was that? what about this? powerful? was it? powerful? was it? power?
Put the bottle down pal x .
Thanks for telling them!
you used his quote for the title, but there was absolutely no reaction to it at the time.
What do you mean? I think there was quite a big reaction in the room!
