Richard E Grant: "The fact that it worked out is still a miracle to me. These chances come about maybe once, maybe if you're lucky, twice in your life."

In this episode of 'The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points' Lulu chats to Oscar-nominated actor and presenter Richard E Grant. Richard talks to Lulu about the big turning points in his life - getting his big break starring as Withnail, in 'Withail and I' whilst dealing with a huge personal loss; learning to live again after the death of his wife Joan; and the sheer joy of being nominated for an Oscar. He talks about how his upbringing had a huge impact on how he wanted to parent; how he is always trying to prove himself and get approval from others; and the amazing parties that he and Joan used to throw.

Where do they get their resilience? When life throws curveballs, how have they overcome them? What are their turning points? In this brand-new project, Lulu sits down with guests to discuss the pivotal moments in their lives that have shaped them into the people they are today.
