David Walliams Wiki Biography

David Edward Williams was born on 20 August 1971, in Merton, London, England, and is an actor, author, television host, activist, and comedian, best known for being part of the show “Little Britain” alongside Matt Lucas. He’s also a judge on the talent show “Britain’s Got Talent”, but all of his efforts have helped put his net worth to where it is today.

How rich is David Williams? As of mid-2017, sources inform us of a net worth that is at $25 million, earned through success in his numerous endeavors. He wrote and starred in the series “Big School” and “Partners in Crime”, and as he continues his career it is expected that his wealth will also continue to increase.

David attended Reigate Grammar School, and after matriculating studied drama at the University of Bristol, graduating in 1992. During his time there, he performed with the National Youth Theater during university holidays – when he joined the actors’ union Equity, he changed his stage name to David Walliams since there was already another David Williams.

One of Walliams’ earliest notable works was the audio play “Phantasmagoria” which was written by Mark Gatiss, which opened up more opportunities for him to start increasing his net worth. He then co-wrote and co-starred in the sketch show “Little Britain” which aired on BBC Three; it later moved to BBC One and led to a stage show entitled “Little Britain Live”. After the end of the initial show in 2005, he then made an appearance in the single “Bastardo” by Charlotte Hatherley. He also presented a documentary entitled “David Walliams: My Life with James Bond”, before in 2007 portraying a dangerous manipulator in “Capturing Mary”, which earned him critical praise. His net worth rose further and he was then cast in the television movie “Rather You Than Me”, portraying the late British comic Frankie Howerd.

In 2010, he made an appearance in the comedy “Dinner for Schmucks”, alongside Steve Carell, and in 2012, David was a guest in an episode of “Perspective”, before being cast in the sixth series of “Doctor Who”. In the same year, he narrated the series “Top Dog Model” before starring in the sitcom “Big School”, playing the role of chemistry teacher Keith Church in the show which ran for two series. In 2015, he appeared in the six part BBC series “Partners in Crime”, which was in celebration of Agatha Christie’s birth. He also began filming for the show “Walliams & Friend” before presenting several episodes of “The Nightly Show”. While he was doing all of these projects, he also became a judge for the t show “Britain’s Got Talent”, continuing since 2012.

Aside from acting, David is known for creating children’s books; some of his most popular books include “The Boy in the Dress”, “Billionaire Boy”, and “Mr Stink”. He’s gotten numerous awards thanks to his television career, writing career, and charity work.

For his personal life, it is known that Williams married Dutch model Lara Stone in 2010 and they have a son, however, they divorced in 2015. He has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and hinted at being pansexual, though he mentioned that he’d rather not be affiliated with a label.

David Walliams Quotes

• We sort of expect to see men in women’s clothes. It’s part of our culture. The key thing is, it has to be done quite badly.
• I don’t think I’m a good enough actor. Hugh Bonneville is one of the nation’s favorite actors, especially because of the success of Downton, and he has proved himself to be as equally brilliant at drama as he is at comedy. There’s not many actors you can say that about. Twenty Twelve showed he was a master of comedy and most of the rest of his work shows he’s a great dramatic actor, so we were really lucky to get him. I’m sure he’s the reason many people will watch. Downton Abbey is bigger than X Factor.
• Well I suppose the starting point was ‘how much could you love somebody that really really stank?’ A friend of mine told me a story about how they used to see an old lady on their way to school, and her mum stopped to give her a lift and she really smelt, so they never gave her a lift again. That got me thinking…
• I hadn’t worked with Simon (Simon Nye) before. He is a writer I really admire and of course he has a long list of brilliant comedy credits, most famously Men Behaving Badly. He made a load of brilliant brilliant changes and brought in a lot of humor that I had missed. So I was delighted.
• I haven’t put much effort into my personal life and blithely believe it will turn out all right in the end.
• Ricky Gervais would have you believe otherwise, but Sacha Baron Cohen is the most successful British comedian in the world.
• I don’t have a fear factor. Well, not much of one. And I’m willing to risk quite a lot – as a comedian, you’re always risking a lot. You’re risking failure, especially if you’re improvising and going on TV shows trying to make comedy out of thin air. That is quite a risky business.
• I have always liked shows that have laughter in them.
• We sit in a room for months trying to think of funny things.
• I’m terribly attention-seeking. It’s very different once you get all this attention, though. Because then you want to control it. And you can’t exactly.
• When I want comfort food, I buy Maltesers. I like all chocolates, but especially those. You can eat them, and because they’re so light, you can convince yourself that they are not actually that fattening.
• The most used piece of kit in my kitchen is my saucepan. I use it every morning to cook my porridge in. The least used piece of equipment? I’d say a food mixer. I’ve never used it, I don’t really know what they’re for.
• I would recommend that anyone who wants to do comedy on TV to do radio first.
• I don’t get recognized much, and am very happy with that. The fans I have met have all been delightful.
• When you are doing endurance swimming you just need to take in as many carbs as possible to put on as much weight as you can. Basically you can eat whatever you want, which can be quite fun. Everything is guilt-free.
• I was quite fat as a kid. And swimming is a sport you can enjoy whatever size you are. If you’re fat, running is a pain. I’m not really built for running.
• It’s easier not to make a particular joke in case it offends. But every joke will offend someone, and I’ve always believed that the audience is bigger than one person. The danger is that things will become bland.
• Sometimes you meet people who can’t swim. And I always think: ‘Oh my God, that’s extraordinary.’ For me, it’s always been a treat… I just feel really happy in the water.
• I’m not a political thinker, but I’ve just always thought of myself as a Labour supporter. I was a great fan of Tony Blair. He sent me a letter before I swam the Channel to wish me luck.
• There’s a sort of magic and music to comedy. Some words, some numbers even, are funnier than others. A Caramac bar, for instance, is funnier than a Milky Way.
• I have a pathological fear of being on my own. When I’m with my own thoughts, I start to unravel myself, and I start to think really dark thoughts, self-destructive thoughts.
• I can’t see why anyone would want to be in politics because you get so much criticism.
• There’s something about being a comedian that means you have to not be scared of failing because failing is part of the process.
• I’ve noticed that once you leave London you do kind of become a bit more famous. People in London are a bit too cool for school. It’s not so unusual to see someone from London in the street. But outside of London people are a bit more excited to see you and come out and support you.
• I’ve done panel shows, which I enjoy, and on those you’re recording half-an-hour of TV and sometimes they film for two hours. But with ‘Britain’s Got Talent,’ you’re on camera for eight hours, with a large theatre audience watching – and in between you’re being filmed for ITV2 as you eat your lunch.
• I love wearing drag.
• Children’s books are often seen as the poor relation of literature. But children are just as demanding as adult readers, if not more so. I should know. I’m a children’s writer myself.
• My favorite restaurant of all time is Mildreds on London’s Lexington Street. It’s a little vegetarian restaurant and is really fun and healthy, too. It was the first place I went to in London and really liked. That was 20 years ago, and it is still my favorite.
• People think writing a children’s book is something you could do in an afternoon but it’s actually really hard.
• I know somebody from university who’s called Phil Collins, and I think there’s something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name with somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.
• I know some of my parents’ friends think ‘Little Britain’ is in incredibly poor taste. But swimming the Channel? You can’t really say anything negative about that, can you? There’s nothing better than making your parents happy. The glee on my father’s face that day was amazing.
• Social satire has been around since people have been around.
• It can be difficult to be subtle and not cartoony in prosthetics. But when you see characters like Bubbles and Desiree from ‘Little Britain’ on screen, it makes all the hard work worth it. It’s such fun watching those transformations.
• It’s a weird thing because I’ve been single at the time when I’ve been successful. That’s good and bad. Good, because you meet lots of people, bad because your privacy is infringed, so it’s harder to develop things.
• I don’t think comedy is necessarily an attack. It’s finding humor in life. I don’t think if you’re making a joke about something you’re automatically demeaning it.
• I thrive off the company of others, I love being sociable.
• Definitely I love women, I love being around women, I find them incredible and intoxicating, and I’ve never had that feeling I get with women with a man.
• I was depressed as a child. I found it hard to make friends. My favorite thing was locking myself in the bathroom and practicing comedy routines.
• Reality always outstrips fiction. Whatever you make up, something more incredible always pops up in real life.
• I don’t have a lot to share with other men. My heart sinks when I get into a taxi and someone starts talking to me about football.
• When I was a child I devoured every book I could get my hands on. I loved losing myself in colorful and dramatic stories – and my absolute favorite was ‘Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.’ Everything about it electrified me, and when I re-read Roald Dahl’s books as an adult it surprised me.
• I haven’t traditionally been a family entertainer.
• I just want to be happy, have kids, enjoy my life, help others and create some good work.
• It’s important when you’re married not to forget those things you used to do when you were trying to get her to marry you. You can’t send flowers and buy gifts then, when you’re married, say, ‘Right, get my tea on’. That doesn’t go down well. So you’ve got to keep that level of interest going.
• I still enjoy my life, and I feel like I’ve achieved enough things that if I never did anything again, I’d feel confident that I’d still have made my mark in some way. But maybe the self-loathing bit is the element that makes you strive for more. Makes you strive to be better.
• I was born in 1971, and Tom Baker was sort of my obsession as a kid and that’s why we got him to do the voice over for ‘Little Britain’ because I was actually obsessed with Tom Baker.
• TV has lost a lot of its self-confidence as its power has been eroded by the internet.
• All human life can be found in an airport.
• The one good thing about our school was the Cadets; I chose to be in the Navy, purely for the sailor’s outfit. A pity we had to give them back.
• I used to have a silk dressing gown an uncle bought in Japan and when I came downstairs in it, my dad used to call me Davinia. There was never embarrassment about that kind of thing. My sister used to dress me up a lot. She thought I was a little doll.
• I was the kind of person who got bullied and loved the attention of it.
• I had a very happy childhood, but I wasn’t that happy a child. I liked being alone and creating characters and voices. I think that’s when your creativity is developed, when you’re young. I liked the world of the imagination because it was an easy place to go to.
• I’ve just swum the length of the Thames. I feel quite tired.
• I love telling stories. I love the intimacy between the writer and reader. When you write sketches it’s over in two minutes. When you write a book the characters have to have a bit of emotional depth.
• I don’t know what I’ll be like when I’m 60. I already have the traits of a retired gentleman.
• I still love Flash Gordon (1980) because it’s the anti-Star Wars [Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977)]: camp, fun, very sexy (although I only realised that as an adult!)
• Roald Dahl got me hooked on reading. What started as an idle choice in a library because I liked chocolate has turned into a lifelong love. I’ve had the pleasure of going to Roald Dahl’s house, meeting his widow, leafing through the manuscript of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I even got to work with his favourite illustrator, Quentin Blake, on two of my own stories. Children’s books are still a guilty pleasure. I love the beautiful illustrations, the magical worlds, the fantastical journey they take you on.
• I’ve always been drawn to talented people.
• I love the idea of someone who’s not prepared to compromise to fit into society. That’s why my first children’s book, The Boy in the Dress, is about how it’s OK to be different.
• I was obsessed with the film Flash Gordon (1980). I still am. I had the sticker album, I collected the cards in Weetabix packets and my mum bought me the single when I got into secondary school. Yes, I even wrote to Jim’ll Fix It (1975) asking to meet Brian Blessed, who played Prince Vultan.
• Doctor Who (1963) was my favourite TV show and Tom Baker cast a huge spell over me as a child. I used to watch it with my dad and spent hour upon hour in the playground dissecting that week’s cliffhanger – “How on earth will the Doctor get out of this one?” The Doctor is a great role model because he uses his mind rather than his fists to win. It’s such a British institution because it celebrates eccentricity, not good-looking action heroes. I read all the novelisations. Later in life when Tom Baker released his autobiography I queued up to have my copy signed. I couldn’t believe it when he agreed to do the voice-over for a tiny radio pilot that Matt Lucas and I were doing called Little Britain. For him, it was just another voice-over job; for me it was magic. It turns out he really is quite otherworldly – you wonder if he has come from another planet! We’d keep the tapes running between his lines because he tells the most hilarious, poetic stories. You don’t know if they’re true or not but they’re always brilliantly entertaining. The awe that you have for your childhood heroes never leaves you.
• [on Peter O’Toole] He was hugely entertaining. The greatest company. A legend on screen and off.
• On his role in Virgin Territory (2007) (in which he makes a cameo at the beginning): I have done a few cameos in movies and quite enjoyed it – other than this one. I did this part because I liked Hayden Christensen. I do this scene in the start of the film. I’m playing the cart pusher. All I was thinking as I was doing that was: ‘What am I doing?’ It was terrible, that’s the way my mind works. It’s terrible.
