Withnail and Us

Withnail and Us2001



Bruce Robinson:
[talking about the casting process] And then fatty Grant who came in with his great jowls drooping... I had to get him on a diet to make him work in the part because he looked like a sort of fat Dirk Bogarde.

[cuts to Richard E. Grant being interviewed]

Richard E. Grant:
[laughs] I've got pictures to prove it, I've never been fat. But, you know, I think that's part of the auteur self-worship that directors indulge themselves in, that, you know, "I have taken this person who weighed 27 stone and then reduced them to this, and then pulled this performance out of them". Well, bollocks to that.
