Hugh Bonneville
Hugh Bonneville is one of Britain's most accomplished actors, whose credits include Downton Abbey, W1A and the Paddington films.
'Deliciously witty' Celia Imrie
'Utterly charming' Jack Whitehall
'Funny, touching, revealing' Gyles Brandreth
'A gorgeous book' Richard Curtis
'Beautiful. Touching. And funny' Gary Oldman
'Charming, joyous and entertaining' Griff Rhys Jones
'Shows a great verve for storytelling' The Independent
Hugh Bonneville is one of Britain's most accomplished actors, familiar to audiences worldwide for his roles in Notting Hill, the Paddington films and Downton Abbey. From getting his big break as Third Shepherd in the school nativity play, to mistaking a Hollywood star for an estate agent, Hugh creates a brilliantly vivid picture of a career on stage and screen. What is it like working with Judi Dench and Julia Roberts, or playing Robert de Niro's right leg, or not being Gary Oldman, twice? A wickedly funny storyteller, Hugh also writes with poignancy about his father's dementia and of his mother, whose life in the secret service only emerged after her death. Whether telling stories of working with divas, Dames or a bear with a penchant for marmalade, this is a richly entertaining account of his life as an actor.©2022 Hugh Bonneville

Kritikerstimmen
It's a gorgeous book. It made me laugh out loud - and weep buckets
A writer of considerable urbanity and wit. Gary Oldman says it is 'beautiful, touching and funny'. I agree. (Lynn Barber)
Comedy gold... I don't remember when I last read a book that gave me so many laughs... A riveting account of what it takes to be an actor (Christina Patterson)
Tremendously entertaining... if collapsing into laughter is what you need at the moment, then Playing Under the Piano could be the book for you... a delicious and endearing mode somewhere between utmost sincerity and utter bafflement (Rachel Cooke)
A great read
An enormously entertaining memoir
The tone of Hugh Bonneville's autobiography is very much like the man himself - warm, charming, funny and thoroughly embraceable... There is a refreshing lack of narcissism in a narrative poised between detached observation and amused self-reflection... An enormously entertaining memoir (Neil Norman)
Really enjoyed this. Wonderfully funny and utterly charming - just like the man himself! (Jack Whitehall)
By turns funny, touching, revealing - full of insights, delights and surprises. I couldn't have enjoyed it more (Gyles Brandreth)
A gorgeous book. Warm, friendly, funny and sometimes surprisingly emotional. Very like Hugh himself (Richard Curtis)
When other books have been forgotten, this one will be remembered. Hugh Bonneville's considerable talent for writing is on display page after page. Beautiful. Touching. And funny. (Gary Oldman)
Charming, joyous and entertaining, just like Hugh. (Griff Rhys Jones)
A collection of stories painting a brilliantly vivid picture of a career on stage and screen
Bonneville is entertaining, with a clear-eyed view of his trade... Reliving it all so far with light and shade, bite and bonhomie, as a memoirist Bonneville passes the audition with flying colours
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll love Hugh even more
Bonneville tells of his life with appealing modesty... he gives us plenty of backstage gossip
Witty and moving
The Downton star proves himself to be a polished raconteur (Books of the Year)
A beautifully poised memoir, both insightful and - occasionally - laugh-out-loud funny, with the gift for comic timing he reveals on screen and a sharp eye for detail... warmly engrossing (Books of the Year)
Bonneville's affable screen presence richly translated onto the page through anecdotes and adventures... there are many howling laughs in this frequently entertaining memoir
Playing Under the Piano made me hoot (Ben Macintyre, Books of the Year)
Though a funny raconteur, Bonneville also writes poignantly about his father's dementia and of his mother, whose life in the secret service only emerged after her death
Love it
Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.
In keinster Weise langweilig vorgetragen oder einfach nur "abgelesen". Ab und an ein wenig schnell in der Sprechweise, aber nach diversen Durchläufen von Downton im Original ist man da schnell wieder drin. Es hilft wirklich, wenn man die englische Stimme schon gut kennt. Alles in allem auch für non native speaker gut verständlich. Und ja, ich bin erst auf der Hälfte, aber man hat einfach das Bedürfnis, eine Rezension zu schreiben, wenn man sofort begeistert ist von einem Titel. Und das ist hier der Fall.
Thank you, Mr. Bonneville for these insights and beautifully written and well read stories!
Wunderbar
