Richard E Grant is going to be a grandfather<\/p>\n
The 68-year-old actor was left heartbroken when vocal coach Joan Washington died aged 74 from cancer in 2021, but he insisted he isn’t “lonely” as he has his family around him.<\/p>\n
He told Gyles Brandreth’s Rosebud Podcast: “Not lonely. I live communally because our daughter [Olivia] and her now husband [Florian Wirst] chose a couple of years ago to come and live in our house.<\/p>\n
“So we all live together and I\u2019m kind of like a concierge. I do most of the shopping and the majority of the cooking because they\u2019re both very busy.<\/p>\n
“And she\u2019s going to have a baby in June.”<\/p>\n
\nRichard also revealed while he’s open to a new partner, he has “not thought about it”.<\/p>\n
\nHe explained: “I\u2019ve certainly been set up with people. And I keep being told by people \u2018It\u2019s four years. It\u2019s time. You must find somebody else.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n“But I\u2019m not consciously looking. But if I walked out the door now, a coup de foudre happened, I wouldn\u2019t be opposed to that.”<\/p>\n
\nAnd while he wouldn’t have any reservations about a girlfriend, he also has no “inclination” of looking.<\/p>\n
\nAsked if he would feel guilty falling in love again, Richard said: “No. But I\u2019ve not had any inclination whatsoever.”<\/p>\n
\nRichard previously opened up about his late wife’s sense of humour in the weeks before her death, including warning him off “all the women” they both knew.<\/p>\n
\nAppearing on The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points, he said: “She was hilarious – a month before she died, she went through all the women, the women who were either single, divorced or available or widowed, that we knew. <\/p>\n
\n“And she basically went through all of them like a lioness and gave me a reason why I shouldn’t pursue any of them.<\/p>\n
\n“And I knew how much she loved me by doing that…”<\/p>\n
\nHowever, he joked the idea of being with another woman at his age is “mortifying”.<\/p>\n
\nHe quipped: “The idea of being 67 and three quarters and taking my kit off is so mortifying, I’d have to be in a Krakatoan cave without a crack of light.<\/p>\n
\n“That may change. I’m hopeful-minded and open-hearted but I’m not looking for it.”<\/p>\n
