Richard E. Grant keeps his 'Spice World' outfits in his attic.
The 68-year-old actor starred alongside the Spice Girls - Mel B, Melanie C, Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, and Victoria Beckham - in the 1997 comedy movie, and Richard has actually kept hold of his outfits from the film.
He told People: "On 'Spice World' they said, ‘We will give you all your costumes.' So I've got all of them in my attic."
Richard also loved introducing his daughter Olivia, who is now 36, to the chart-topping pop stars.
What's more, Olivia relished spending time on set with the Spice Girls.
The actor shared: "My eight-year-old daughter was off-the-charts excited because she worshiped the Spice Girls and they were at the height of their fame.
"So being able to take her to the set and get to know all of them was an incredible thrill."
Richard previously opened up about his first-ever meeting with the Spice Girls, remembering that they were "so uninhibited".
Speaking to Vulture in 2021, Richard shared: "I had just turned 40, and they were about half my age. And Scary Spice, Mel B, pinched my bum on the first day and said, 'You’re not bad for an old guy.'
"I thought, If that’s a seal of approval from the rowdiest of the Spice Girls, then I was A for away. They just seemed able to talk about anything. They were so uninhibited, and so thrilled with the success that they had, that it was hard not to be taken up by all that energy."
Richard also recalled the band being unaffected by their own fame.
He said: "The producers were absolutely thrilled because, on the first day, each of us had huge Winnebagos with a living room and just about every modern thing that a Tom Cruise Winnebago could have. And they said, 'We feel lonely in here; we want to be with each other.'
"I certainly didn’t give mine up - it’s the biggest one I’d ever had in my career - but they all insisted on joining up. So, to the producers’ delight, they got rid of four Winnebagos that they no longer needed to pay exorbitant rentals on because they all wanted to be together all the time."
