Adolescence’s Stephen Graham breaks down in tears recalling emotional moment with his dad

Actor Stephen Graham, who played the lead role in “Adolescence,” choked up as he shared a touching memory about his father.

The creator and actor behind the latest Netflix series shared some heartfelt insights regarding the conversation he had with his father, informing him about collaborating with his childhood hero, Robert De Niro, in the film The Irishman, where posters of this icon adorned his youthful bedroom walls.

He mentioned to Capital, “I used to have posters of ‘Taxi Driver’ and various other actors my father had given me on my wall.” At this point, Jordan North commented that he eventually acted alongside Robert De Niro himself.

Graham expressed, “Can you envision the conversation if I told my father about this? Just thinking about it stirs up excitement within me!

I said, ‘Can you believe who I’ll be collaborating with next?’ He asked, ‘Who?’ To which I replied, ‘Martin Scorsese wants me to work on another film.’ He responded, ‘Wow, that’s incredible!’ I just nodded in agreement.

As I reminisced, a wave of emotion washed over me as I spoke about my parents. They stood behind me unwaveringly, offering their support during every challenge, every hurdle, don’t you understand? Their love and encouragement were the driving force that carried me through.

In a tearful moment, the actor jokingly said that he had lost one of his contact lenses. He went on to express that collaborating with De Niro was an extraordinary experience.

Graham shared with the hosts that his father indeed took him seriously when he shared the De Niro news, and felt incredibly proud.

On occasion, all it requires is a single individual to assist you in reaching your objective or to support the vision you hold dear,” he explained. “For me, my father was that one person, and so was my mother.

The teenage years, or adolescence, have been receiving rave reviews ever since it was first shown a week ago, opening with a flawless rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Adolescence is available on Netflix now.
