Stephen Graham feels 'complete' thanks to Snoop Dogg’s Golden Globes compliment
Stephen Graham revealed a hilarious but complimentary remark that Snoop Dogg said to him at the Golden Globes on Sunday night.
Graham had a night to remember after being awarded Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television.
The UK actor was recognised for his role in Adolescence, the groundbreaking Netflix show, which also took home the Best Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television.

Meanwhile, young Owen Cooper secured Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role on Television for his role in the series, while Erin Doherty also won the female counterpart award in the same category.
Adolescence sent waves across the television world, going viral for not only its important subject matter, but also that it was shot in one long take.
Graham co-wrote the series and while the Golden Globes were a special night for his career, it was a moment with Snoop Dogg afterwards that made him ‘complete’.

Speaking backstage after his win, the 52-year-old said: ‘I met Snoop Dogg, I forgot to say it out there, and he shook my hand and looked me right in the eyes and he just said “You motherf***in’ gangsta”. My life is complete.’
Snoop was busy making headlines on the night himself, though for possibly not all of the right reasons.
While presenting the inaugural Best Podcast category, the rapper admitted that he was ‘high as a motherf***er’.

Elsewhere on the night, Kerry native actress Jessie Buckley landed Best Actress in a Drama for her role as Agnes Hathaway in the Chloe Zhaó-directed Hamnet.
Jessie has been dominating awards season and is looking more and more likely for Oscar glory in March.
However, on Sunday, she became the first Irish person in Golden Globes history to win in her category.
Accepting the award, Jessie extended her thanks to the cast and crew as she lauded the ‘extraordinary set.’
She also went on to name-check the team’s Polish key grip, Tomasz Sternicki, for bringing in soup to the set.
