Richard E Grant just loves the Girls.

He was surrounded by five fiesty ones in Spiceworld: The Movie, dealt with one Iron Lady and is now preparing to make his debut in the hit US comedy-drama Girls.

The actor spoke to Eamonn and Ruth on the This Morning couch about the role.

He laughed: “I play a man older than their fathers who forms a relationship with one of them. It is a sort of one way street – it is an old guy nightmare for them.

“I’ve got a 25-year-old daughter and it absolutely speaks to her generation. It is about people who just left home and college and trying to find their way in the world.”

Eamonn congratulated Richard on being one of the many British actors now appearing in American dramas.

Richard replied: “What they told me on Girls is that British actors hit their marks, know their lines, turn up on time and are cheaper!

“Going into this thing is like going into school for the first time and everybody knows each other and you have to fit in.”

Now that series three has been recorded, will Richard reappear in series four?

He said: “Lena Dunham wrote this part for me, emailed me out of the blue and I said yes of course!

“I’ve now ended up in four episodes and as far as I know my character hasn’t died so I might be back…”
