Rudolph Walker Reveals Homelessness While Acting

News summary

Rudolph Walker, the 84-year-old actor known for his role as Patrick Trueman on 'EastEnders', revealed that he spent two years living secretly homeless and penniless while working on the show. His financial struggles began after a costly divorce from Dounne Alexander in the mid-2010s, leaving him with only his car and dependent on friends for shelter. Despite appearing cheerful on-screen, Walker often broke down in tears on his way to the studio, overwhelmed by feelings of pain and loneliness. He disclosed that only his co-star Diane Parish sensed something was wrong, though he never fully shared the extent of his hardships with her or his children. Now, Walker is in a much better place and is set to release his memoir, 'Walking With Dignity', which chronicles his struggles and achievements throughout his 60-year career. He expressed gratitude for his current happiness and the support of his neighbors in Reading.
