Hugh Grant is notable for starring repeatedly in films where he continually plays a slightly more charming version himself that are only successful because of the writers and directors involved and the fact that certain women find that foppy-haired, public school boy look and accent charming.
He’s also remembered for getting a blowie from a Hollywood street-walker named Divine Brown when he was in a supposedly serious relationship with Liz Hurley and getting into hot water for throwing baked beans at a paparazzi photographer outside his London home a few years ago.
His rapid descent into humourless f-ckville as he nears the upper end of middle-age has now been sealed with an appearance on America’s The Daily Show which ended in him being banned from the show for life.
The host Jon Stewart explained the none-too-surprising reason yesterday: ‘He’s giving everyone s*** the whole time, and he’s a big pain in the a**. And we’ve had dictators on the show.’
He was also rude to staff at the show which is a trait I loathe in a person but the most ugly thing of all about him is the way he talks about his baby daughter Tabitha, 1.
Hugh, 52, openly admits that he’s ‘not sure’ that his firstborn child has changed his life but adds that he likes her ‘very much’.
Ugh if I had a Tupperware box full of baked beans handy, I’d love to throw it at him right now.
Just as you can tell a lot about people who don’t treat dogs with unconditional love and kindness, people who become parents no matter what the circumstances are and then treat their children indifferently are soul-less and destined to die old and alone only to be found when the smell starts disturbing the neighbours.
He is a horrible person with – I was going to qualify this but instead I’m going to put myself on the line – no redeeming features whatsoever.
Well he’s not alone…there are a good many of the famous we adore who simply don’t deserve it…
I dislike dogs, i avoid them. This does not make me a bad person.
I remember hearing that on the set of a film (perhaps Music and Lyrics) the crew just referred to him as the c__t.
He’s spoilt and queeny but he’s not the worst, by a long chalk. I’m not a huge fan, but the remarks about his daughter surely comes from his resistance to giving newspapers a headline like “Hugh’s changed my world” And since the beans and hooker thing keeps being brought up more than a decade on, maybe his sourness is understandable.
He’s not a lovely man but it had to be said that he is loyal to his mates; when his ex Sandra Bullock had Jessegate, he was straight round and was brilliant with her
It’s really not surprising that he’s an ass. Anyone that expends that much energy in the spotlight to come off as charming and self-deprecating is bound to have another face. I kind of always figured he couldn’t be bothered with a whole lot of courtesy if it wasn’t on film. Well, the good news is that he has one less venue in which to expend all that charm and maybe he can use that energy to be a decent human being for a few minutes.
