Ralph Fiennes et se souvenir de Brideshead Revisited

Intéressante bribe
avec Ralph Fiennes
qui explique
qu'à l'âge de 20 ans
il travaillait
dans un hôtel
de Londres

"I was polishing a glass chandelier outside the men's loo and Jeremy Irons appeared. He was just becoming a big star with Brideshead [Revisited] at the time, and I loved Brideshead. He spoke first:

'I need to clean some glass at home. What are you using?'

I showed him some generic glass-cleaning product.

'Thank you very much,' he said.

I said, 'Excuse me, are you Jeremy Irons?'

He said, 'Yes.'

I said, 'Could I have your autograph?'

He said, 'Well, listen, I'll leave it for you at the front desk.'

I said, 'Oh, thank you very much.'

"And then I finished polishing my chandelier and I went up to the front desk where the concierge - a very pompous man in a brown and gold braid uniform - looked down his nose at me, because I was the lowest of the low in my white house coat, and said (very curtly), 'What do you want?'

I said, 'Did Jeremy Irons leave an autograph for me?'

'Yes (even more curtly). Here it is.'

And he passed me a piece of Brown's notepaper. I opened it. It said, 'Dear Ralph, Keep polishing. Jeremy Irons.'"
