Hugh Grant Reveals What Moved Him To Tears About New Bridget Jones Film

Posted on 15/11/2024 by Boris Clair

Hugh Grant has revealed he had a big reaction when he first read the script for the upcoming Bridget Jones movie.

The British actor is set to reprise his role as Daniel Cleaver in Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, after previously sitting out the third instalment in the series.

A new trailer for Mad About The Boy dropped earlier this week, introducing Bridget at a new stage in her life, following the death of her husband Mark Darcy.

During a new interview with SiriusXM, Hugh was asked if there were any details he could share about the forthcoming movie.

“I haven’t seen it, but obviously I know the script,” the Bafta winner began. “I’m a harsh judge of scripts, and it was really good. Really moving, as well as funny.

“Helen Fielding, who wrote the Bridget books, this [story] is based on her own experience of losing her husband and bringing up her kids alone. So it’s got a huge amount of heart. It made me cry.”

“Have I made it sound too dark? It’s also extremely funny,” he quickly added.

Back in September, Hugh reflected on his decision not to return for Bridget Jones’s Baby, claiming: “I really couldn’t fit my character in – he just didn’t belong, so I stepped aside.”

In his new interview, the Heretic star elaborated further on his absence from the third Bridget Jones movie, recalling: “It had a great set-up, that she’s pregnant, and doesn’t know whether it’s Darcy’s baby or Daniel’s baby. That was marvellous.

“But I could never work out how Daniel would handle either being a father, or not being a father. Couldn’t make him work. And we went through agony, months and months, and in the end I said, ‘I think I’d better sit this one out’. So I did. And they made a wonderful film anyway.”

Bridget Jones’s Baby actually opens at Daniel Cleaver’s funeral, although the end of the movie hints the character may still be alive after all, which, of course, turns out to be the case in film number four.

While Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy will be a streaming exclusive in the US, it’s due to hit UK cinemas on Friday 14 February 2025.

Hugh Grant ‘Enormously Surprised’ To Hear Which Of His Films Quentin Tarantino Loves

Posted on 11/11/2024 by Boris Clair

Hugh Grant has revealed Quentin Tarantino surprised him when he revealed his favourite film from the British actor’s vast back catalogue.

In a new interview with Letterboxd, the Heretic star recalled a “weird experience” at an event in London, in which a “sweaty person pushed his way through the crowd to me”, only to reveal himself as the Pulp Fiction filmmaker.

“To my enormous surprise, he said, ‘Oh, man, I love Music And Lyrics’,” Hugh continued.

“He said he watched it on a plane, and was so disappointed that the plane landed before the film ended, that he had to quickly go and order it from Blockbuster or something. And I thought, ‘Surely not, not Quentin Tarantino’…?”

Music And Lyrics featured Hugh as a former 80s music icon, who leans on an unlikely source when he’s tasked with writing a new song for a modern-day pop star.

Elsewhere in his Letterboxd interview, Hugh opened up about shooting those musical scenes, admitting: “[The dancing in Music And Lyrics] was hell, because it was freeform, just kind of ‘express yourself’, ‘enjoy the music’, ‘feel it’ like a real rock star, and I’m so not that person, and I really struggled with that.

“I had to have my charming makeup lady in New York bring me little swigs of whisky in a 7Up bottle and a certain amount of lorazepam to really get in the mood for that one.”

Hugh Grant wouldn’t mind if a certain film suddenly got dropped from his filmography.

The “Love Actually” star revealed during an appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” that he would “happily shred my IMDb page” because he “specialised in being bad for decades, really.”

“As you know as someone in the industry, [it’s] one thing for me to say I was bad, but I can’t bring down the rest of the wonderful colleagues who work with me on any film by saying it was bad,” Grant said, before naming the film he’d like make disappear.

“The Lady and the Highwayman,” Grant finally said, as Corden and fellow actor Chris Pine laughed about the title of the 1988 film.

“Mid-’80s, made for television film,” Grant explained. “I’m a highwayman. I’m meant to be sexy.”

“Low-budget, bad wig, bad hat,” he added, just as the show pulled up a look at Grant in the film:

While Grant attempted to take pains to not insult any of his previous colleagues, he did make a rather frank admission about his former co-star, Drew Barrymore, just two weeks ago. The two starred in the 2007 romantic comedy “Music and Lyrics” together.

“Drew Barrymore was in that film with me, and I don’t think she’d mind me saying her singing is just horrendous,” he said, laughing, during an interview with Wired. “I’ve heard dogs bark better than she sings.”

Despite his blunt confession, Grant told Barrymore on her talk show in 2021 that the movie the two made is “impossible to hate.”

“I love to hate the films I’ve been in, and I do hate some of them,” Grant said. But ‘Music and Lyrics,’ it’s impossible to hate. We’re so good in it, and so charming.”

Hugh Grant Makes Surprising Admission About Some Of His Most Popular Roles

Posted on 13/12/2023 by Boris Clair

From the early 90s onwards, Hugh Grant became known as the undisputed king of the romantic comedy.

With the likes of Four Weddings And A Funeral, Notting Hill, Love Actually and Bridget Jones’s Diary already under his belt, the British actor later went transatlantic in rom-coms like Music And Lyrics, Two Weeks Notice and Did You Hear About The Morgans?.

However, while you might think the genre pretty much came as second nature to Hugh, he told former co-star Drew Barrymore on her US talk show that he “never felt comfortable” doing his famous romantic comedies.

“I love those films. I love the fact that people still like them, but I never felt comfortable really doing them,” he said.

“I don’t know about you, but I prefer more of a mask. I want to be someone else. Then it frees me up and then I quite like acting.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Hugh claimed he’d become “a bit better” in his job and “a little less bad after I had children, got married, got happier”.

“I got too old and fat and ugly to do romantic comedies obviously,” he joked, claiming that since saying farewell to romantic comedies he’s been “offered more interesting things” that have made his career more varied.

Indeed, the past few years alone have seen Hugh take a prominent role in Charlie Brooker’s satirical Netflix special Death To 2020, the award-winning drama A Very English Scandal and, of course, the much-loved Paddington films.

You can also see Hugh in action in what must surely be his unlikeliest role to date, playing an Oompa Loompa to Timothée Chalamet’s Willy Wonka in the new musical Wonka (even if it doesn’t sound like the filming process was Hugh’s favourite on-set experience…).

Drew Barrymore Had The Best Response After Hugh Grant Slated Her ‘Horrendous’ Singing

Posted on 17/03/2023 by Boris Clair

Drew Barrymore had a musical response after her former co-star Hugh Grant said her singing voice was “horrendous”.

The two stars previously shared the screen in the romantic comedy Music And Lyrics, in which Drew portrayed an aspiring songwriter and Hugh played a washed-up 80s pop singer.

Over the course of the film, both Drew and Hugh sing multiple times, which the Bridget Jones’s Diary actor recently spoke about during an interview with Wired.

Asked whether it was his own singing voice that we heard in the 2007 film, Hugh explained: “Yes… but I’m auto-tuned beyond belief. Actually, that’s not true, I’m auto-tuned a bit, but not as much as some.”

“Drew Barrymore was in that film with me and I don’t think she’d mind me saying her singing is just horrendous,” he added. “I’ve heard dogs bark better than she sings.”

Responding to Hugh’s comments, Drew shared a video of herself singing the song’s finale number, A Way Back Into Love, which the pair perform as a duet on the film’s soundtrack, into her hairbrush.

“Oh Hugh? Hughbert? That’s for you,” she joked at the end of the clip.

In Hugh’s defence, he did later go on to praise Drew’s performance technique, noting: “once they tuned her up, she sounded way better than me, because she’s got heart and voice and rock ’n’ roll. Whereas I sounded like Julie Andrews, and I was meant to be rock ’n’ roll.”

Music And Lyrics featured original songs by Fountains Of Wayne frontman Adam Schlesinger, who died in 2020 due to Covid complications.

Hugh was back in the headlines this week following his appearance at the Academy Awards.

Not only did he raise eyebrows when he stopped for an interview with Ashley Graham on the red carpet, he also caused a stir during the ceremony with a typically self-deprecating joke.
