Richard E Grant has revealed that he was mugged at an ATM in Cape Town while holidaying in South Africa.
The 60-year-old Withnail and I and Game of Thrones star was robbed at a cash machine in South Africa's legislative capital on Friday.
The actor took to Twitter to announce his misfortune, but appeared to brush it off as he headed to the beach later that day to spend some time with his daughter Olivia.
He tweeted: 'Feel like a right mug having been mugged at an ATM in Cape Town. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr'
The London-based star grew up in Cape Town's neighbouring Swaziland and went to university in the South African capital.
Grant had returned to Swaziland over Christmas to see his family before heading to Cape Town. His father was a British government official in Swaziland before the country obtained independence in 1967.
The actor began his acting career in South Africa before moving to the UK in the early 1980s, where he found fame in hilarious cult movie Withnail and I, originally released in 1987.
