Thanks to Sue W (via The Guardian) – A new REG Interview!

He’s known as a raconteur, famously indiscreet. Now Richard E Grant has made a film about his boyhood in colonial Swaziland: a bold move for an actor who, so he tells Sally Vincent, can’t bear to watch his own movies.

“I have kept a diary,” he said, “since I witnessed my mother’s adultery at the age of nine.” As he spoke, an elderly woman was slowly trundling her luggage trolley so close to our knees we had to draw our legs out of her path. Richard E Grant was unfazed, as though his narrative focus was so fine he had not noticed her at all. He is a disconcerting fellow. This morning, at the crack of dawn, he came off the red-eye from Newfoundland and, if he was a normal human being, he’d be crashed out in his pit, sleeping off his jet lag, not spring-heeling around this rowdy hotel. I can never trust manic energy, let alone a man with eyes the colour of turquoise. It’s not natural.

Thanks Sue!
