ROBSON GREEN ON GRANTCHESTER’S RETURN – PAGE 18

Ross King on how the Hollywood rumour mill is in overdrive.

1 GERI HORNER

“I’m done with trying to be perfect. A perfect body belongs to somebody else – and it’s not me.”

2 TONY BLACKBURN

“I’m not a showbiz person. I just enjoy talking nonsense on the radio.”

3 ANGELINA JOLIE

“I don’t know if I have a skeleton left in my closet. But I will do whatever I think can really make change.” (on a possible move into politics)

4 GYLES BRANDRETH

“Call me old-fashioned but I prefer a stiff upper lip to a moist, trembling one.”

5 JENNIFER SAUNDERS

“June Whitfield lived and worked with an extraordinary grace.” (on the death of her Abfab co-star at 93)

6 MARTIN CLUNES

“We talk about retiring in the abstract, but I’ve just had the busiest year of my life.”

7 OLIVIA COLMAN

“Everyone knows what she looks like, everyone knows what she sounds like.” (on living up to expectations as Queen Elizabeth in Netflix’s The Crown)

8 DANIEL RADCLIFFE

“If I die on a film set when I’m 80, I’ll be happy with that.”

9 ADELE

“I will not do festivals. The thought of an audience that big frightens the life out of me.”

10 BARRY HUMPHRIES

“To live in Australia permanently is rather like going to a party and dancing all night with one’s mother.”
