Richard E Grant has expressed his joy at meeting his idol Barbra Streisand backstage during her British Summer Time show in London’s Hyde Park.
“Waiting with Dame Helen Mirren and Taylor Hackford, whilst Barbra Streisand chatted with Antonio Banderas.
“Utterly surreal to have been sent tickets to sit in the Streisand suite last night and then be invited to meet backstage,” Grant wrote, alongside a photo of Streisand, Dame Helen Mirren and her husband Taylor Hackford.
Earlier this year, the British actor shared his emotional reaction to receiving a response from Streisand to a letter he’d sent her more than 40 years ago.
