Grant Denyer - Self-Worth Was Worth Fighting For

Whether it was Family Feud or whether it was the weather, Grant Denyer has been a larger than life fixture on Australian TV for 25 years. But it hasn’t all been big smiles and Gold Logies. In this raw and vulnerable chat with the most joyous man on the telly, Grant opens up about his past dependence on the pain medication (OxyContin) that he needed after suffering a serious injury that broke his back. He tells Hugh, Ryan and Josh how that dependence not only jeopardised his career, but his marriage and family.While this is a side of Grant Denyer that you may not know, it is a story of hope and resilience about a successful (and loveable) man who nearly lost it all… but found enough strength and self-worth to fight for his life.To watch Grant's Gold Logie acceptance speech, follow this link: https://bit.ly/3EmsIELTo watch the trailer for Painkiller on Netflix, follow this link: https://bit.ly/3R5H308To listen to Grant's podcast, It's All True, follow this link: https://bit.ly/4bN6ATO The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
