<\/p>\nThe 52-year-old is often regarded as one of the nicest actors in the business.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A former co-star of Stephen Graham’s has revealed that he made an incredible offer to adopt him after he suffered a tragedy. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Thomas Turgoose starred alongside Graham in 2006’s This Is England. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Then 13-year-old Turgoose played Shaun Fields, a young boy who becomes involved with a skinhead group, which features the violent and racist Combo played by Graham. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Shaun idolises Combo at first before he realise the true extent of his nature. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Turgoose and Graham had several scenes together and developed a close bond. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Right after This Is England was wrapped, Turgoose’s mother passed away from lung cancer, meaning that she would not get to see her son act. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Private Parts podcast, Turgoose spoke of This Is England director, Shane Meadows, dedicating the project to his late mother. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
He said: “My mum passed away from lung cancer after I finished filming This Is England. She never got to see the finished film.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“Shane Meadows dedicated the film to my mum. Stephen Graham promised my mum he’d look out for me. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“Everyone involved in This is England are family to me.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Turgoose was still very young at the time and was meant to live with his father that he didn’t know very well. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
He said that both Graham and Meadows offered to take him into their homes if things did not work out. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Turgoose added: “When my mum died I moved in with my dad and I didn’t know him, so Shane Meadows and Steven Graham were going to adopt me if things didn’t work out with my dad.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
He confessed that his breakout role in This Is England saved him from a very different life. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old said: “I was destined for prison. Shoplifting things I didn’t need. There was a hardware store in Grimsby that I used to steal spray paint from for no reason.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
