David Holmes & Rosie Mayes: Finding Love After Life Changes (Part One)

Former Harry Potter stuntman David Holmes had his world upended during a stunt test for the seventh film, resulting in a life‑changing spinal cord injury. Years later, he shared his journey with the world through the documentary David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived.

But this episode tells a different story — how he found love again with Rosie Mayes, who sustained a similar injury in 2009. For the first time, David and Rosie speak publicly about the relief, hope and unexpected joy that came with finding each other after believing love might not be possible again.

A raw and emotional conversation about connection, vulnerability and rediscovering possibility.
