If somebody's the king of romantic dramas and comedies, it is Hugh Grant. When we first noticed him running like a mad guy, beautiful hair swept again via the wind, glasses askew, to a marriage in Four Weddings and a Funeral, we fell in love along with his characteristically boyish, clumsy, fumbling persona he gave the impression to portray. Traits we came to know neatly in different movies like Notting Hill and Love Actually where he tries to win the woman.
But whether he's taking part in a assured or not so confident character, they're at all times chasing the main lady. In Bridget Jones, he's an ass, however he will get Bridget sooner or later. In About A Boy, even though he's lying to the lady he likes he nonetheless gets her in the end. After the '90s and the early 2000s, Grant stopped taking part in these types of roles, however. Maybe as a result of he places his foot in his mouth each time he works with his leading ladies.
Grant is aware of he has a problem, type of. The ex-heart throb revealed to Graham Norton that he's mentioned some questionable things to his female costars in the past. "Now when you talk about your costars you're quite open. You gave an interview to Elle Magazine, and they asked you about your various leading ladies, do you remember some things you said about them?" Graham Norton asked the actor.
"I think it was regrettable," Grant responded. Norton went on to go through the listing of things Grant said about the ladies, to Grant's pride. He started with Grant's costar from Sense and Sensibility, Emma Thompson. "Clever, funny, mad as a chair," used to be how Grant explained her. "That's true, you know Emma," Grant advised Norton.
He described his Bridget Jones co-star Renee Zellweger as, "delightful, also far from sane," to which Grant replied, "Fair...she is genuinely lovely but her emails are 48 pages long. I can't understand a word of them — but I'll put them on Twitter."
In some other interview with People, Grant mentioned, "Renee loves me and I love Renee. Well, I mean she’s in the same category as Emma Thompson, in terms of lunacy, but an amazing actress of course, and very generous. She once sent me a fabulous huge volume of beautiful photography, including a lot of semi-undressed women. I remember it because I had just landed in Marrakesh … and the book was impounded."
On Sandra Bullock, he stated, "Genius, German, but too many dogs," for Julianne Moore, "Brilliant actress, loathes me," Rachel Weisz, "Clever, beautiful, despises me," and Drew Barrymore, "Made her cry, hates me." Norton said this can't all be true, so Grant counted via all of them.
"Julianne definitely hates me, Rachel Weisz, I think we got on fine but I don't know why I said that. Maybe I was going for a comedy triple I don't know...[on Drew Barrymore] she made the mistake of giving me notes, which, how would you take that?"
Grant also talked to People about working with Barrymore on Music & Lyrics. "Well, Drew, I think did hate me a bit. But I admired her. We just were very different human beings," Grant defined. "She was very LA and I was a grumpy Londoner. The funny thing is, although it was fractionally tense on the set of that film, I think the chemistry is rather good between us. Sometimes tension makes a good crackle."
In 2016, Grant informed Andy Cohen that he idea none of his co-stars preferred him very much and mentioned, "They all hate me, I think."
On the different hand, Andy MacDowell did not have a foul thing to say about running with Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral. A fan requested her the query on Cohen's Watch What Happens Live, and he or she said, "I really can't think of a bad part about working with Hugh, he was adorable." Cohen mentioned Grant maintains he's "crankiest person on the planet," and MacDowell answered, "He was when I was working with him. He wasn't really famous at all. I mean he was torturing me because I was well known, and little did he know, hahaha, that he was about to hit the big-o big time."
Grant described MacDowell to Elle as a "southern belle. Charming. Gorgeous." Daily Mail reported that Grant published he even "got off" with his Notting Hill costar Julia Roberts and mentioned, "It’s a big mouth. I was aware of a faint echo when I was kissing her." Zellweger on the other hand is a "top snogger" in his opinion, as he and Colin Firth tried to be better kissers in Bridget Jones. "I can’t think of a leading lady that I have not fancied," Grant persisted. "You have got to fancy them as otherwise it is no fun. What is the point of doing a film?"
Whether Grant in fact fancied his costars or not, he in point of fact has a knack for giving them compliments while placing them down at the similar time, or simply declaring outright that they hate him. In fresh years although Grant is older, and has turned against taking part in extra serious roles. Still, it will be interesting to know what exactly it is Weisz and Barrymore hate about the sort of cranky but humorous man.
