Stephen Graham just won a Golden Globe Award for his role in the acclaimed Netflix drama Adolescence, but surprisingly, he lost it just hours later!

He explained that “it was weird” because he only “had like three minutes to catch the plane. It’s a next-level kind of thing. As I come off the plane, a woman stood there with my name and she took me down the stairs, threw me in a car and drove me across the airport [on the runway].”
Stephen was in Atlanta for a layover to get from one plane to the next when he started to doubt his suitcase would make it on the flight.
“All I’m thinking is, ‘My case isn’t gonna make it,’” he said. “I went, ‘Excuse me, love? There’s no way you’re getting my suitcase on this plane if I’m in a car now.’ And she’s like, ‘Oh no, don’t worry, we’ll take care of it.’”
Well, it didn’t land. The suitcase containing his Golden Globe was left behind in Atlanta.
One of the co-hosts joked that the actor “left” it behind and Stephen said, “No, I never left it. I put it in my case! That’s heavy, I wasn’t carrying that on me.”
Thankfully, he was reunited with his suitcase and his trophy when his luggage arrived a couple of days later.
