Hugh Grant

Hugh Grant is an English actor, Golden Globe, BAFTA, Volpi Cup and Cesar Award winner.

The general public became known after the release of the romantic comedy "Bridget Jones's Diary", where he played one of the main roles, playing the boss and lover of the main character - Daniel Cleaver.

Hugh Grant was born on September 9, 1960 in London. His parents were James and Finvola Grant. His father, who had once served in the British army, retrained as a businessman, and his mother worked for more than 30 years as a teacher of Latin, French and music in public schools in London.

Hugh was a handsome guy from an early age and suffered from it. It seemed to the future actor that his appearance was not manly enough. The scars that appeared on his face after an injury sustained during a sports game gave the teenager self-confidence. And even when the wounds healed, the boy independently injured his face with his father's razor and did not miss the chance to get involved in another fight in order to look like a real man.

Hugh Grant graduated from high school in 1979 and entered college at Oxford University - the young man planned to become an art critic. During those years he joined a closed student club called the Piers Gaveston Society. After graduating from college, the future actor for some time played in the troupe of the comedy genre "Jokers from Norfolk".

The Briton did not set himself the goal of becoming a film actor. He first appeared on the screens thanks to his fellow student and friend Michael Hoffman, who offered to make a film. The picture entitled "Privileged", which premiered in London in 1982, became the debut for the comrades. After the release of this film, numerous agents of show business became interested in Grant - then they first talked about him as a promising actor.

It's safe to say that a brilliant debut in Privilege paved the way for the actor to enter the world of cinema. It was this film that opened the cinematic biography of Hugh Grant. For several years he worked in television, starred in television series and films. The most significant works for him at that time were the roles of a student in James Ivory's film "Maurice", Lord James in the horror film Lair of the White Worm and Lord Byron in the Spanish film "Paddle with the Wind".

For his work at Maurice, Hugh Grant was awarded the 1987 Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award. In 1991, the Briton successfully coped with the image of the world-famous composer Frederic Chopin in the biographical drama Impromptu. The roles in "Bitter Moon" and "At the End of the Day" were no less striking. These film projects hit the big screens in the early 1990s.

A breakthrough in Hugh Grant's acting career was the film "Four Weddings and One Funeral", which the audience saw in 1994. In it, the artist first appeared in the role of a shy handsome man, causing both laughter and compassion.

The light, sparkling romantic comedy directed by Mike Newell, in which Grant appeared in a duet with Andy McDowell, instantly turned into a hit movie and made our hero a Hollywood star and sex symbol. This tape brought the actor the first prestigious film awards - Golden Globe and BAFTA.

Hugh Grant's career was booming, but it was then, in the summer of 1995, that an annoying sex scandal happened on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard. The reputation of the star suffered greatly, and there was a decline in her career. In 1997 and 1998, the actor did not star in any film.

However, the scandal subsided over time, and in 1999 the former popularity returned to Hugh Grant. He has starred in a number of brilliant films, including the beloved The Englishman Who Climbed a Hill and Down the Mountain, Blue-Eyed Mickey, Notting Hill and The Diary of Bridget Jones.

These are the best films of Hugh Grant. In the named tapes, fans saw their beloved star in their favorite image of a charming handsome man and heartthrob. I especially liked the last two pictures. And everywhere Hugh Grant - in the lead roles.

In the romantic melodrama Notting Hill, which tells the story of a modest owner of a small bookstore in the London district of the same name, viewers enthusiastically watched the development of a romantic relationship between the characters of Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts.

The brilliant comedy "Bridget Jones's Diary" has increased the army of fans and admirers of the Hollywood artist at times. Hugh Grant, Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Gemma Jones and Jim Broadbent presented the audience with a real film masterpiece, which is still watched with pleasure by millions today.

In 2002, the audience's favorite starred in two rating films - "My Boy" and "Love with Notification." The last of the named projects is a comedy by Mark Lawrence, in which fans saw the brilliant tandem of Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock.

Family melodrama with a set of comedic situations "My Boy" was filmed based on the work of Nick Hornby. The film was nominated for various film awards more than 20 times, including an Oscar. Hugh himself was awarded the Empire magazine's award for best British actor, he also received the main film award in Germany "Golden Cinematic Camera" and the London Film Critics Society Award for Best Actor's Work of the Year.

No less successful work of Grant was the tragicomedy Love Actually - it was the directorial debut of screenwriter Richard Curtis.

The plot consists of ten parallel stories. Hugh Grant got the role of the Prime Minister of Great Britain, and Martina McCutchen played his secretary and part-time object of his feelings. Worldwide fees exceeded all expectations, they exceeded the film's budget 6 times.

After that, there was a certain lull in his career. Among the projects of that period are the less successful sequel to The Diary of Bridget Jones and the romantic comedy Out of Sight, Out of the Chart, Out of the Chart, in which the famous Briton starred in a duet with Drew Barrymore.

In 2012, the Briton surprised and delighted fans with his work in the science fiction film Cloud Atlas, where he played six characters at the same time. This painting by Tom Tykwer, Lilly and Lana Wachowski consists of six symbolically linked stories. And in each of them, Hugh plays the main character. In some characters, it is quite difficult to recognize him due to the complex makeup.

In 2015, the actor's filmography was replenished with one more work. The film "Agents of ANKL" was released, in which Hugh Grant also appeared in an unusual role, playing the head of British intelligence. Unfortunately, the project did not have a box office success.

In the spring of 2016, the premiere of the biopic of director Stephen Frears "Florence Foster Jenkins" took place. The consummate Meryl Streep has become Hugh Grant's colleague on the set. After the release of the picture, the actor admitted that he was frightened by the prospect of a joint game with a star, in the piggy bank of which at that time there were 19 Oscar nominations (today this figure has grown to 21). For this work Hugh Grant received a special Golden Icon Award in 2016.

In his personal life, Hugh Grant turned out to be the same heartthrob as his on-screen characters. Despite numerous novels, the actor was never married until 2018. For many years, Elizabeth Hurley was considered his common-law wife. The couple met during the filming of the melodrama Rowing in the Wind.

In total, the relationship between them lasted 13 years. The couple nearly broke up after a sex scandal in 1995, when police caught Hugh Grant in a car with a girl of easy virtue. But Elizabeth forgave the betrayal. Despite this, after a few years, Hugh and Liz broke up due to the actor's unwillingness to start a family. Hurley was tired of being a common-law wife.

The two stars did not go their own way. Liz even forbade her son from his first marriage - Hugh's godson - to watch films with Grant's participation. Nevertheless, the actor did a noble thing: he left his former family a house in the Chelsea district of London.

After breaking up with Elizabeth, a series of fleeting romances followed. Hugh had relationships with Kasia Komorovich, Martina McCutcheon, and Aimir Montgomery. For about 3 years, he dated the heiress of the tycoon James Goldsmith - Jemima Khan. However, the girl left the playboy after learning about his affair with Drew Barrymore.

In 2011, the famous actor became a father for the first time. The birth of their daughter Tabitha was the result of a fleeting bond with Chinese actress Tinglan Hong. For some time, the Briton did not disclose to reporters the name of the child's mother, but when the truth came to light, he admitted that the birth of the baby was not part of his plans.

However, at the end of 2012, Tinglan Hong gave birth to 52-year-old Hugh Grant and a son, Felix. It seems that even then Hong realized that she would not be able to marry a star to herself. Therefore, they parted as friends and maintain friendly relations.

And in early 2014, it became known that Hugh Grant had another son. Out of wedlock, of course. The boy was born by Swedish TV producer Anna Elisabeth Eberstein. In December 2015, it became known that the couple already had two children: in addition to the son of John Mungo, Grant had a daughter.

The photo of their joint vacation in the Spanish resort of Marbella somewhat upset the fans of the star. Their favorite was not in the best physical shape. In his youth he was fit and athletic, but now his figure is somewhat blurred.

Unlike many stars, Hugh Grant does not have the now popular Instagram, but he has a verified Twitter, which he replenishes with regular frequency.

In 2018, BBC One premiered the mini-series A Very English Scandal, starring Hugh Grant and Ben Whishaw. Also in Russia in the same year was shown the full-length film "The Adventures of Paddington 2", where Grant played the main antagonist Phoenix Buchanan - a narcissistic actor who has lost his former glory, who for some time began to appear in advertising for dog food.

Perhaps the main news of 2018 was Grant's loss of his bachelor status. On May 25, Grant and Eberstein were married. The age difference between the spouses is 18 years. And on the eve of their marriage, information leaked to the media that Anna gave birth to a third child from the actor. True, neither his gender nor his name is still known.

It was planned that the famous Briton will appear in the hit movie "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." But he refused, which he later greatly regretted. Hugh Grant's films at the French box office are voiced by Vincent Cassel. The Hollywood star has long been a fan of the English football club Fulham, whose matches he does not miss.

In the summer of 2008, the Briton bought the right to dinner with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, paying $ 160,000 for the meal. The proceeds were sent to the children's cancer center in Moscow. In 2010, Hugh Grant took part in the popular show "ProjectorParisHilton", which greatly delighted the fans, demonstrating an excellent sense of humor.
