I can assure you this is not in the least bit amusing. I shall report this.

I shall miss you Withnail.
I shall miss you too.

What a piece of worke is a man! how Noble in
Reason? how infinite in faculty, in forme, and mouing
how expresse and admirable in Action, how like an Angel
in apprehension, how like a God?

"What's in your #toolbox ?"

The director made Richard E Grant drink vinegar for one take.
Unsurprisingly, when Richard E. Grant’s character of Withnail downs a bottle of lighter fluid, it was not really lighter fluid at all, but was replaced by water – at least initially!

In all the rehearsals, the bottle of lighter fluid was water, but for the final take, it was replaced with vinegar, but no-one told Richard E. Grant, this was to get the most realistic reaction possible from the actor.
