Richard E. Grant Has Revealed That A-List Actors Treated His Daughter “Appallingly” When She Worked As A Runner On Movie Sets
British actor Richard E. Grant has revealed that his daughter, Olivia Grant, was treated “appallingly” by big-name actors during the two years she worked as a runner on movie sets.
“The runners,” the star immediately replied. “Who are paid the least amount of money, they’re the youngest, they get there at five in the morning and they’re the last to leave. And if anything goes wrong, they get shat on from a dizzy height.”
“And I know because my daughter was a runner for two years and appallingly treated by some very well-known household names in England,” Richard continued, visibly angry. “Who changed their tune when they found out who her father was, which made it worse. It made me damn those people even more.”

Richard was then asked if he’d ever confronted any of the people who mistreated his daughter, and he admitted that he’d only personally encountered one of them.
“I’ve met one person, yeah,” he said. “And I’d never speak to him again.”
Olivia, now 35, is Richard’s only daughter, and he shares her with his late wife, Joan Washington.
Meanwhile, one specific part of Richard’s quotes struck a chord with people as his interview was discussed on a popular Reddit forum.
