So proud and, along with the audience, thrilled to see my boy commanding the stage today, breaking hearts and filling pants. Equally terrifying, he’s recording music and has a book coming out too. I feel smug if I take the bins out on the right day (doesn’t happen often). I’d hate him if I didn’t love him. @222aghoststory #WayBeyondTheWandNow #Naches #MalfoyManner That’s a work tan btw. I haven’t caught trumphilis.

Based on a true story.
Lucius prepping for his first rap battle. Wishing everybody a 2023 free from hate, from blame, from feeling worse (or better) than anyone else and from hopelessness. The world may seem off its axis but when you look, there is light, love and kindness everywhere too. May you find and spread gratitude wherever you go. If, like me, you’re privileged to have anything spare, consider the joys of service this NYE by donating to any of the fab organisations below. After the rabid acquisitional frenzy of Christmas it feels great to give. The links may not work in Instagram but you’ll get the idea. Look ’em up – they’re all making the world fairer and better and you can be part of that. @doctorswithoutborders @gosh.charity_._._ @hopenothate @BritishRedCross @mariecurieuk @givewellcharityorganisation @ShelterCharity @centrepointuk @WomenforWomen @RESCUEorg Meanwhile, if you’re alone this New Year’s Eve, feeling the pain of looking back over 2022 and the pressure of expectations for the coming year, remember that it’s all utter horseshit. Everything passes, good and bad. All we ever have is today. One hour, one moment, one smile at a time. You are enough and you are loved. Not you, Donald. You’re not and you’re not. #HNY2023 @harrypotterfilm
Rubber Robbie thrilling and delighting my girls almost as much as the real thing did me. That Robbie Coltrane even knew my name was unbelievable to the boy who’d laughed at and leant in to everything he’d ever done for years. To pretend myself a colleague, to share gossip and gags, to be invited for a cuppa into his personally customized Silver Bullet Airstream was to experience a fanboy’s complete bliss. RIP you lovely man. #robbiecoltrane
It’s been such a joy to watch you grow – first on the outside and, latterly, on the inside and in every direction. Enough now for gods sake. Leave some art for the rest of us and shave occasionally. Happiest and cakiest of birthdays my acting, writing, singing and globe-conquering progeny. Bad Dad x Strange how I haven’t aged at all. Must be the clean living you’ve been modeling.
Been wearing sweatpants since COVID, so when I was commanded to dress up for Christmas, I went as a bandleader.
Merriest of Independence Days to my friends over the pond. Thank god you freed yourselves from tyranny so that democracy could flourish and everyone, regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexuality or income would be equally respected , represented and invested in a brave new world of safety, tolerance and opportunity. Maybe I should’ve fought a bit harder. #july4th
She wasn’t just my mum. Or a grandma. Or a great grandma. She was a little girl, a victim, a survivor, a vamp, a wife, a provider, a cook and cleaner and carer on an industrial scale, a bleeding heart, a campaigner, an activist, a life-saver, a convict for her convictions, a perpetual critic and a rock-steady support, a loyal friend, an open minded, open hearted beautiful, difficult, fierce, frustrated, fabulous woman. An inspiration. Almost all of which I’ve come to realise after I lost her. To mums everywhere with love and awe. Call yours if you can. #HappyMothersDay
Want to do something really easy that’s good for the planet, our kids and the future? The top 5 British banks provided over $37 Billion to the fossil fuel industry last year 2022 and are in a hidden, ongoing relationship with the oil companies. If you have either money or loans with them, go to @mmmoneymatter_ , click on the weblink and tell them it’s time to break up. Told you it was easy. I did it with just one thumb and I’m peeling potatoes for dinner (you can take the boy out of Liverpool…). Ow.
Challenging day at the office.
The remarkable Chitra, CEO and force of nature at the gala for @chandranfoundationuk, which does brilliant work feeding and tutoring hungry and underprivileged children in London. Thanks to @thesavoylondon (and their group – @all @fairmonthotels) for their help and for my generous gift of a free stay and tickets to a concert. Two great nights in a row. Celebrities get free stuff when they can finally afford it, ironically, so for our stay in this gorgeous place on the day that women’s rights in America were stripped back half a century, Emma and I have donated to @msichoices, one of the world’s leading providers of reproductive health care. It’s something, at least. X
New Year’s Day 2023. I’ve radically changed my entire life forever since I woke up an hour ago. Er…which way now? #HNY
Wife’s not answering, which is weird. Wonder where she’s sneaked off to…
It’s #rbcraceforthekids today in aid of the fantastic Gt Ormond St Children’s Hospital charity. A wonderful day out for the whole family and a great cause but if you can’t get there you can still donate £5 by texting KIDS to 70125. I’ve got a rotten cough (just a cough – testing negative!) so will be staggering round and praying you’ll stop me for selfies, for which I’m asking for a donation of…yep, a text to 70125 all day. Seems about right, no? @greatormondst

You may have missed your chance to limp around with me, but text KIDS to 70125 to give £5 to help @GreatOrmondSt children’s hospital charity to be part of this amazing day. And yes, I know I run like a drunken hippo. It’s a comedy choice. #rbcraceforthekids
When in Rome…drown your cat, apparently.
Sometimes filming early you see a different side of a city. #Liverpool
“The people there were telling me they think the hugs are as important as the food that they give.” Actor and our celebrity ambassador @therealjasonisaacs recently visited a Red Cross centre in Warsaw to see the work of @polski_czerwony_krzyz and @ifrc in helping support the needs of Ukrainian refugees.

“Your love is our greatest hope for peace.” Thinking of all the mothers around the world today and everyday. Thank you for all you do. ❤️🌎 #HappyMothersDay
