Stephen Graham discusses suicide attempt and unresolved grief

Actor Stephen Graham has spoken about a suicide attempt he made in his early twenties, attributing his survival to a ‘higher power’. In an interview with The Times, Graham described himself as a lost young man struggling with unspoken grief following several family tragedies, including his mother’s miscarriage and the death of his grandmother.

Graham noted that he initially attempted to hide the incident from his family, but his mother eventually discovered his injuries, leading him to seek support from his parents and professional counseling. He also credited his wife, Hannah Walters, for her support during that period. The actor stated that he has since built a solid foundation for his well-being through practices such as daily meditation, Reiki, and exercise.
