Adolescence star Stephen Graham still finds wife Hannah 'dead saucy'
Stephen Graham still finds his wife Hannah Walters "dead saucy".
The 'Adolescence' actor - who met his partner when they were trainee actors at the Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance in Kent, UK - got married to Hannah, 48, in June 2008 and their love for each other is still going strong 17 years later.
Stephen, 51, gushed to GQ magazine: "She's me best mate for one, she's funny as f***. I find her dead saucy.
"She's amazing. She's the light of my life. Do you know what I mean? We're a great little partnership. It really works."
The couple, who have a daughter called Grace, 20, and a son named Alfie, 18, together, founded their production company Matriarch Productions in 2020, and its goal is to provide a "much-needed platform for underrepresented voices and stories in the UK".
And their firm was behind the hugely successful Netflix psychological crime drama series, 'Adolescence', which Hannah served as an executive producer on.
It tells the story of how 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) is arrested for the murder of his school classmate Katie Leonard (Emilia Holliday).
The show - which was inspired by the UK's knife crime epidemic, as well as the impact of social media radicalisation - sparked a global conversation about toxic masculinity, and Stephen is glad it did.
He explained: "I hoped it would create conversation, the amount of stuff me and Hannah are getting sent, and the amount of people I'm seeing on the streets who were saying that has happened between them and their children, is huge.
"To me, that's objective complete. We've done our bit. Now you go and crack on."
Stephen recently revealed 'Adolescence' - topped Netflix's viewing charts in 93 countries across the world - could return with a totally different story at the heart of the plot.
Speaking to Variety, Stephen said: "It still is a possibility... If we were to go again, would I like it to again? With a different story completely? Yes."
The 'Line of Duty' actor admits that he and co-writer Jack Thorne were keen to avoid telling the story from the perspective of Katie's family as it would have been the "conventional" route to take.
Stephen explained: "If we were a conventional drama, you would look at it from Katie's perspective, and we'd see the aftermath of Katie's family.
"But I felt like we'd have seen that. We've seen that many a time. We haven't really seen this side."

A-list singer turned down Meghan's invite to appear on Netflix show: report
IN LONDON Meghan Markle extended an invitation to Dolly Parton to appear on her Netflix series but was turned down, according to a new report. The first season of the Duchess of Sussex's show, With Love, Meghan, was released in March and featured eight episodes, each with different guests. According to royal and entertainment commentator Kinsey Schofield, the country singer's team was 'livid' at the request. 'Because no, they don't want to risk Dolly's reputation Q score [and] her popularity by associating with Meghan Markle,' she alleged in a recent podcast episode of The Nerve with Maureen Callahan. 'They knew that this ask was just to give Meghan Markle credibility in this lifestyle space, a space that Dolly does have a lot of credibility in. 'Dolly is not only incredibly popular and loved by the general public, but she also is somebody who can float around within these different places. 'Her team really feels like Meghan was trying to take advantage of her popularity.' Those who did feature in the first season of With Love, Meghan, included the duchess' former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer and actress Mindy Kaling. It was confirmed earlier this year that the lifestyle and cooking show had been renewed for a second season – with rumours circulating recently that a third has also been greenlit from Netflix. Shortly after the release of season one, and amid persistent allegations of Meghan being 'difficult' to work with, a staffer spoke to People magazine about their experience, insisting she was 'warm', 'approachable' and 'genuine' throughout production. 'She made sure everyone felt included, from Netflix executives to our director to every PA on set. No one was left out,' he said. 'Most of the time, we're expected to fade into the background, to be invisible. But in this show, we were part of it. We were included. It was a very unique and refreshing experience.' Meghan was also open to learning throughout the process, according to the crew member. 'She didn't seem too married to any one idea. If something didn't go perfectly, she was fine with it and moved on to the next thing,' he said. The staffer added that she was 'a great hostess' and that there were occasional set visits from Prince Harry and the couple's two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. 'Whenever Harry visited set, he was always super polite and friendly. But it was clear he wanted this to be Meghan's moment to shine,' he said. 'She was super attentive and doting on [the kids]. We would give them headphones so they could listen to audio.'

John Mulaney reveals why he rejected Academy Award offer
John Mulaney turned down the Oscars due to the intense schedule. The 42-year-old comedian admitted while he was "flattered" to be asked to front the Academy Awards in March, with four-time host Jimmy Kimmel turning down the offer to lead a fifth ceremony. Appearing on Marc Maron's 'WTF' podcast, John said: "Well, I was very flattered. "They came to me, must have been last summer. And I knew Jimmy Kimmel wasn't gonna do it. And they offered it. 'And it was honestly that I had a lot going on. And it's months and months of work.' Instead, Conan O'Brien was chosen to host the prestigious event, and John was impressed by how the late night legend handled proceedings. He joked: "He came out and he not only was so funny, but he elevated the show to the point that I almost convinced myself I had seen these movies and I'd seen not a one of them." He added that his fellow 'Saturday Night Live' alumni "just locked in and owned the f****** thing". Conan recently joined John for an episode of his Netflix talk show 'Everybody's Live with John Mulaney'. The comedian confirmed "there was a plan to do more", with him and the steaming giant currently "figuring it out". Despite finding the whole thing "very enjoyable", he admitted he has "really felt the 12 weeks in a row" as the three-month run rolled on. He admitted: "We would scale back what we were doing if we were doing it everyday." John described his talk show as an "evergreen, weird" project which also straddles the line of "a variety show". He said: 'It was more than just that we got to try a lot of bits and jokes and have guests on 'We just got to try whole episodes where it felt very shoestring and episodes where we were blowing it out production-wise.'
