Richard E. Grant sent fans wild as he revealed he had an impromptu Spice World reunion with Victoria Beckham – almost three decades after the pair starred together in the iconic film.
The actor, 68, famously played the Spice Girls’ manager, Clifford, in the adventure flick which saw the iconic girl group travel around London, performing for fans and getting into hilarious scrapes.
Despite garnering negative reviews upon its release in 1997, the film broke records at the box office and has gone on to become a beloved cult classic – even returning to cinemas in 2017 to mark its 20th anniversary.
And fans couldn’t hide their excitement on Tuesday, after Richard took to his Instagram to share a beaming selfie alongside Posh Spice, 51, herself – 28 years later.
The Saltburn star revealed he had bumped into the fashion designer in Italy, praising her as ‘delightful and warm’.
He captioned the snap: ”STOP RIGHT NOW’ I worked with @victoriabeckham on SPICEWORLD – THE MOVIE, 28 years ago and found ourselves at adjacent lunch tables today @ristoranteloscoglio on the Amalfi coast. As delightful and warm as you could wish for.’
