About this listen
This exclusive recording includes 6 extended chapters that are unique to the audiobook.
Hugh Bonneville is one of Britain's most accomplished actors, whose credits include Downton Abbey, W1A and the Paddington films.
Hugh Bonneville is one of Britain's most accomplished actors, familiar to audiences worldwide for his roles in Notting Hill, the Paddington films and Downton Abbey. From getting his big break as Third Shepherd in the school nativity play, to mistaking a Hollywood star for an estate agent, Hugh creates a brilliantly vivid picture of a career on stage and screen. What is it like working with Judi Dench and Julia Roberts, or playing Robert de Niro's right leg, or not being Gary Oldman, twice? A wickedly funny storyteller, Hugh also writes with poignancy about his father's dementia and of his mother, whose life in the secret service only emerged after her death. Whether telling stories of working with divas, Dames or a bear with a penchant for marmalade, this is a richly entertaining account of his life as an actor.

Perfect Autobiography
This was a fun read/listen from beginning to end. Hugh is a sharp wit and sprinkles the narrative with his humour. This is exactly what I hoped for. I have read many biographies of famous people and come away disappointed in some way. This book does not disappoint! A fun and interesting life well told and brilliantly read.
