On a recent episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, actor Stephen Graham impressed host Alan Carr and the audience with his incredible talent for accents. The talk show, known for its entertaining interviews with celebrities, featured Graham as a guest and allowed him to showcase his versatile skills.

Graham, known for his roles in films like Gangs of New York and British dramas such as Line of Duty and This is England, has gained a reputation as one of the country’s finest actors. Carr couldn’t contain his excitement, praising Graham for never delivering a bad performance.

The conversation naturally turned to Graham’s recent success on the hit show Line of Duty, which has been keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. Graham revealed that the show’s creator, Jed Mercurio, had specifically written his character with him in mind. He expressed admiration for Mercurio’s storytelling skills and how he had informed Graham about his character’s fate right from the start.

With the final episode of Line of Duty scheduled to air soon, speculation about the true identity of the mysterious character “H” has been rife. When Carr asked if Graham knew who “H” was, the actor humbly admitted that he didn’t, even though he had read the scripts. Graham revealed that he, like many fans, loved the show but found it quite complicated to keep up with all the twists and turns.

As the conversation continued, Carr highlighted an interesting tidbit from Graham’s past that he had read in the papers. According to reports, Graham and his childhood friends used to steal Porsches. Unsurprisingly, Graham denied the accusation, stating that there were no Porsches in his area and that he had never stolen a car in his life. Carr playfully teased Graham about the rumors, while the actor brushed them off with a sense of humor.

Graham’s incredible talent for accents came into focus as the interview progressed. Regardless of the accent, Graham seemed to effortlessly slip into various characters. Hailing from Kirby, just outside of Liverpool, Graham explained that he usually spends time in a particular region or watches programs set in that area to perfect his accent. He even demonstrated his skills, effortlessly mimicking different accents, including a Jamaican accent that he surprisingly excelled at.

During the interview, Graham discussed some of his notable collaborations with renowned director Martin Scorsese, particularly his role in Gangs of New York. The actor shared an amusing anecdote about his on-set relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio. Apparently, Graham had driven a golf cart recklessly, causing it to tip over, almost injuring DiCaprio’s leg. Thankfully, disaster was narrowly averted, and Graham gained the nickname “animal” in the process.

Moving on to his upcoming projects, Graham spoke about a new show he stars in, created by the talented Shane Meadows. This highly anticipated show, titled The Virtues, delves into the life of Graham’s character, exploring themes of addiction and personal struggles. Graham discussed the challenges of playing a character who falls off the wagon and praised Meadows for his exceptional storytelling.

As the interview wrapped up, both Ross and the audience expressed their appreciation for his immense acting skills.
