Storyline

For the first time one of Hollywood’s greatest stars tells his own story, in his own words. From a childhood of poverty to global fame, Cary Grant, the ultimate self-made star, explores his own screen image and what it took to create it. 
In 1958, at the height of his success, Cary Grant is a troubled man and is one of the first to experiment with LSD, in an attempt of self-discovery. We travel back from that moment to his poverty-stricken childhood in Bristol; his apprenticeship as an acrobat and stage actor, and making 28 films before stardom. This key period leads to the birth of the alter-ego “Cary Grant” that finally made him a star. He remained all life long hugely popular but an almost completely unknowable man.
