In a recent episode of the popular talk show, Alan Carr: Chatty Man, Hugh Grant opened up about his preferences when it comes to celebrities. The charming actor didn’t hold back as he revealed his thoughts on his fellow stars, all while sipping on a delicious Malibu and pineapple cocktail.
Grant, known for his roles in romantic comedies, discussed his latest film, The Rewrite, which he described as a rom-com for adults. He shared how this role allowed him to explore deeper emotions and add a new dimension to his work. The film tells the story of a once-successful screenwriter who becomes a teacher, leading to a journey of redemption and self-discovery.
When asked about his chemistry with his co-stars, Grant admitted that he has to have a certain level of attraction to enjoy working with them. He fondly mentioned actresses such as Sandra Bullock and Sarah Jessica Parker, expressing his admiration for their talent and charm. Grant believes that having a genuine connection with his leading ladies is vital to creating great on-screen chemistry.
The conversation took an interesting turn when Carr brought up Grant’s past romantic encounters on-screen. The actor famously shared passionate moments with Julia Roberts in Notting Hill, but it seems that Grant had some reservations about her famously large mouth. However, he added with a playful smirk that the experience was enjoyable overall.
Grant also reminisced about his role in the film Maurice, in which he had a gay kiss. Carr playfully asked if Grant had enjoyed the experience, to which the actor responded with a hint of humor, saying, “Well, the thing is, you didn’t say no.” He explained that the on-screen kiss was part of a platonic love story in an Edwardian setting, leaving the steamier scenes for his co-star.
The conversation ended on a lighthearted note as Carr proposed the idea of Grant playing himself in a future film about the talk show host’s life. Grant, with his usual wit, said he would have to consider it but expressed concern about mixing his serious persona with his more showbiz side.
As the interview concluded, Grant shared a hilarious anecdote about an altercation with paparazzi, which resulted in a messy encounter with baked beans. Thankfully, no harm was done, and the actor left with well-wishes for his film and a promise of more exciting guests on the show.
