This is one of my fave Xmas clips. A This Morning interview with a woman who is terrified of Snowmen. The fake humanity of it and the way they get the Snowman to move is priceless. Forgive the sound of my giggling at this woman expense! x
This is terrifying. I, like many other actors, have been left high & dry. I have seen all my work evaporate, I cannot be furloughed, cannot get self-employed assistance. I have a mortgage & a family & have not earned a penny in 13 weeks.

I took this shot at Pinewood when we were filming 'The Commuter'. My cinema/magicians head almost exploded. The train is only one carriage long, the far end is a mirror. It's fooling here, but with a full platform, it's perfect.

@dysonjeremy
thanks to everyone who has been to see ‘Ghost Stories’ at the cinema. Being a little Brit film punching against giant American films is not easy. Every ticket you bought makes a big difference. So truly thank you & spread the word. X
Fucking brilliant! Thousands of freelancers, like myself, have not received a penny of assistance since lockdown & are drowning in fear, & those few that do get something, will now join them. The lack of humanity this Gov has shown to the arts is disgraceful.
'Ghost Stories' is on

#InsideNo9LIVE
- a Ghostwatch for this generation. Genuinely fooling & scary, brilliantly written, directed & acted. I am in awe. Incredible.
Actors - from looking at social media it seems every single actor in the world is working...apart from you. That isnt true - most aren't. It's the same mental business it's always been. Stay calm and keep the faith - it'll come.x
Finally myself and
@dysonjeremy
can say it out loud....GHOST STORIES IS DOING A FULL NATIONAL TOUR! We are finally taking proper scares around the country. We're gonna give you nightmares. x
I sound ancient saying this, but I am watching 'Superman (1978) on TV. It's wonderful. Not only is the acting fantastic & the script superb, but the non-projection flying is jaw-dropping. So real and yet utterly practically done. I miss superhero films like this! AND THE MUSIC!

at 10.45pm there's a showing of the deliciously freaky Ghost Stories, adapted from the smash stage play. In the first story Paul Whitehouse shows, again, what a dramatic force he can be
This is the back of the door into my study. It’s my tribute to Dinsdales & all the joke shops that have given me such joy since I was a boy. What joke from the display would you spend your pocket money on?
'Ghost Stories' is available on digital TODAY! So wonderfully exciting. The extra's packed DVD & Blu-Ray is available in about a week. Thank you everyone who saw & supported & helped turn it into the sensation it has become. You've made

Incredibly all the 'Ghost Stories' reviews have been spoiler free. We beg any blog reviewers that may publish, to be spoiler free too. We've worked so hard with the play & film to give the audience an unspoilt journey, we would love it if you could keep that spirit. Thanks x
I should state I’m not sharing about losing the job because I want consolation, simply to share that actors lives are a constant parade of lows and occasional highs. It’s easy on social media to only tweet about the successes.
Good morning and here is the announcement. Mine &

I’m absolutely over the moon that Reneé Zelwegger won the Best Actress Oscar for ‘Judy’. She was an absolute delight to work with & our scenes together will he truly something I will cherish forever. So proud.…
It's our 2nd 'Ghost Stories' weekend in the cinemas & boy oh boy the US have brought out the big guns, were up against the fucking ROCK! It's David vs Goliath! Please get out there and support us. We're doing great, but every ticket makes a difference.We love you for loving us.x
After a very long understandable delay…..myself and

are finally back in the rehearsal room. We may all be masked and distanced, but it feels amazing! Get ready for ‘Derren Brown - Showman’!
Astonishingly, ten years ago today, Ghost Stories opened in the west end at the Duke of York’s theatre. A dream come true for myself and Mr. Jeremy Dyson. If you are one of the millions of people who have been to see…
I took Twitter off my phone & just do the odd tweet on a morning & evening. I've just spent 15 mins on here: the cocktail of politics, hatred & self-aggrandising has truly raised my sense of helplessness & anger. No wonder peoples' anxiety levels are through the roof! So toxic.
Well this picture sums it up perfectly. After almost a year of playing Tevye I say farewell to Anatevka & to this wonderful production. It's been the most incredible experience. Thanks to everyone who came to see it. L'Chaim & farewell. x
A subtle, incredible moment: That's not a mirror, it's a window into a duplicate set where Schwarzenegger was sitting with Linda Hamilton's twin sister Leslie. That this whole moment - all the way into the T-101's head - is one practically-created shot is a marvel of filmmaking.
Wishing a break a leg to

Well as this is now online, I guess I can share it. This is me & Renee Zelwegger filming 'Judy', the Judy Garland film I am shooting at the moment (ps I'm the one on there right).
OMG. Finally! Creative thinking & play isn't just the source of theatre, TV & the elite. It is at the heart of everything, maths, science, life skills & managing mental health. The wisest investment in our youth.
The government is to pursue a "broader, richer, cutting-edge curriculum" with the launch of a review that could reprioritise the arts in schools.

Well Dinsdale’s Joke Shop in Hull is heaven. I spent about 2 hours laughing & chatting to the owner Graham about the history of the place. It is fair to say we had a ‘real bronx cheer’. An absolute gem.

I love this moment in Christoper Lee's This Is Your Life when it dawns on Lee that Vincent Price is there and this joyful "my god, they flew over the big man?" surprise dawns on his face. Price then proceeds to balance charm, sincerity and self-effacement perfectly as only he can

This is life or death for me. The simple fact is when you have secondary triple neg breast cancer there is no cure so patients who are running out of stabilising treatments would happily have this rushed through. It is a glimmer of hope that we could put death on hold.
