The actor promoted his new film

The One Show viewers had mixed thoughts after actor Stephen Graham appeared on the show on Thursday night (October 16).

The talented actor, who starred in Netflix’s award-winning Adolescence earlier this year, appeared on the BBC evening show yesterday to promote his role as Bruce Springsteen’s dad, Douglas Springsteen, in the singer’s biographical musical drama film, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere.

He was joined by fellow actor Ethan Hawke on the green couch, while regular hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kemp presented.
