Stephen Graham's daughter threatened to "disown" him if he turned down a role in Matilda.
The actor had little to no choice but to accept the role after a strict telling-off from his daughter who happens to be a diehard fan of the show. Stepping into the shoes of Matilda's father, Mr Wormwood, Stephen joined a star-studded cast for the movie musical retelling of the Roald Dahl classic.
The role is a far cry from the gritty characters Stephen has played on screen. The 49-year-old admitted he was apprehensive about saying yes to the part.
