Stephen Graham considered adopting young actor Thomas Turgoose

Stephen Graham, a well-known actor, has a history of supporting young talent. In 2006, he formed a close relationship with Thomas Turgoose, a young actor. Turgoose starred in "This is England" at the age of 13, portraying a lonely boy. During that time, Turgoose faced personal challenges, including the loss of his mother. Graham and the film's director, Shane Meadows, were deeply moved by Turgoose's situation. They even considered adopting him if his living conditions did not improve. Turgoose later spoke about the promise that Graham and actress Vicky McClure made to support him after the film's release. Graham's commitment to nurturing talent continued with Owen Cooper, who recently starred in the Netflix movie "Adolescence." Thanks to Graham's support, Cooper received praise for his performance as a teenage murder suspect. Fans have also applauded Graham's kindness off-screen. Today, Turgoose maintains a strong bond with his father, which was built over time. He expressed gratitude for Graham's ongoing support, stating that their relationship helped him grow closer to his dad. Meanwhile, Owen Cooper's career is taking off. He has landed a role in Emerald Fennell’s upcoming film "Wuthering Heights" alongside stars like Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.
