Richard E Grant told the Daily Telegraph he is a big fan of bingo and really enjoys playing the game around Christmas time.

He is going to chef Nigella Lawson's house for dinner and admits that he is a big Christmas-aholic.

"As you can imagine there's an enormous amount of food and after lunch we do karaoke and play bingo. People are always very competitive about who is going to be caller," Grant observed.

Born and raised in Swaziland, Richard E. Grant wears a watch on both wrists. One belongs to his late father and is set to Swaziland time.

Richard studied drama at Cape Town University where he co-founded the Troupe Theatre Company. He moved to London in 1982 and worked in theatre until he got his big break with the cult hit "Withnail and I" in 1986.

Since then, Richard has appeared in over 60 movies, with some of Hollywood's leading directors and actors. He's also written two books, and appeared in many theatre productions.

He's married to dialect coach Joan Washington and they live together in London with their daughter Olivia.
