Video Summary
AI GeneratedThis video is a compilation of Hugh Grant's most humorous and candid moments from various talk show interviews. It highlights his signature dry British wit, self-deprecating humor, and his ability to playfully derail interviews with awkward yet charming delivery.
His friend came up to sort of try and protect him, and I was feeling very manly, and I said,
you want some? To my horror, he said, yeah, I do.
He was gigantic. So I immediately chickened out and said, well, let's all calm down here.
Hugh Grant is a man of many talents. He is a born performer and can make people laugh
very easily with his approach. He doesn't try very hard, and that's what makes him even better.
This video is packed with his best moments. Let's get started.
You're the last one. You haven't been given yours yet. Here you go.
Thank you very much. Let's open this up and see if you like this.
Could you do it for me? I haven't really unwrapped my own presents.
Do you want me to do it all the way, sir? If you don't mind, yeah.
Mungo is one of your middle names, yes? Yes.
Okay. Hugh Mungo? Were you a giant baby? How did this happen?
It's actually Hugh John Mungo. Hugh John Mungo, okay.
I don't know how it happened. I had very unkind parents.
Yeah, that's nice. I don't want to hear you
re-gifted that to someone. I want to hear that you've used that and you've enjoyed it, okay?
Yeah, yeah. No, definitely. Sir.
My brother was an excellent fisherman, and I never caught anything except a swan.
Which I think might be illegal. It was awful. I was so pleased to get something,
I reeled it in anyway. I played it. Because the first day I worked with you,
I forgot my lines. I loved that.
Do you keep in touch with people, presumably, from the sound of things you have with her?
Say that again, but clearer. Slower. Slower is the key with you.
Can you do an American accent? Not after my one experience doing it.
I did it for a TV thing, and for some reason it came out incredibly low and incredibly slow.
Grant has good comedic timing. He feels the room and knows exactly what to say in the right time.
These talk show hosts couldn't get a hold of him. He makes the interviews his own.
To you. It has come back to me.
Okay. I was very drunk.
I was on my way. Yeah, more than that. You were embarrassing.
Okay. Oompa Loompa.
Doompity dee. Now the best director. Category.
Oompa Loompa. Doompity dong.
Most of these films were, frankly, too long.
He's so genuine that he might sound insincere when talking, mainly in a sarcastic way.
You know, thank you very much for being on the program.
It's a real pleasure. Ah, yes.
You're, uh... Well, what? Did that sound phony?
I'm going to do it again. You're reading it off a cue card.
No, I'm going to do it again. Say how nice it is to have me on the show.
You know what? It's really nice having you on the show.
You know, it's so bloody great to be here.
Will you come back? And don't just say no to get a cheap laugh now.
I was just about to. I know you were.
I can read your mind. But would you come back?
No. And she produced, uh,
Notting Hill as well, didn't she? Or am I incorrect?
No, no, you're completely wrong and very badly researched.
I don't know if you remember, you gave an interview to Elle magazine,
and they asked you about your various leading ladies.
Do you remember some of the things you said about them?
I think it was regrettable.
You announced you were going to be an actor. Were your parents supportive?
Not at all. No.
My mother was a church-going teacher.
She wanted me to be the archbishop of Canterbury.
And to be honest, I haven't given up.
Throughout his career, Hugh has worked with a lot of big actors.
He has a rule that he doesn't speak bad about anyone who he's ever acted with.
Then he says it anyway.
That's you. That's him.
What was it like to work opposite this particular performer?
Well, you know, he was very civil.
And he, without me asking, subsequently,
I just got a message saying Donald Trump has made you a member of his golf club.
Given that, and given that he acted with me,
protocol, being well brought up, demands that I can't be negative about him.
I'm never negative about people I work with, in case they're negative about me.
At least, I'm not publicly. I am.
I stab them in the back, behind their back.
Drew Barrymore.
She made the mistake of giving me notes.
How would you take that?
When you're acting with someone.
I took them very well, didn't I?
Did you know that Grant had the chance to work with Robin Williams?
They were in a movie together in 1995 called Nine Months.
Here's what Hugh had to say about Robin.
Working with Robin.
Did you know Robin Williams prior to this?
Well, obviously, I knew who he was.
No, I'd never met him. I'd never met him.
And he's a very nice chap. Very hairy.
That was the first thing that surprised me.
He is hairy.
I mean, really, amazing.
There were days I thought we were doing Congo.
He was actively described as hairy.
Well, it was just the first thing I noticed.
They said, here's Robin Williams.
And, you know, I took a step back.
I go, wow.
Fair.
She is genuinely lovely.
But her emails are 48 pages long.
Wow.
Can't understand a word of them.
I'll put them on Twitter.
You've acted with Donald Trump.
He always wants to be in my stuff, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't really remember him very well.
The night he came, I had a bet with Sandy
that I could make the chairman of Warner Brothers cry by 9pm.
And I was completely focused on that.
It was quite a big bet.
She didn't believe I could do it, but I did it.
It's no secret that Hugh was a ladies' man back in his day.
There are numerous stories of him.
Here are the best bits he shares with the public.
I can't think of a leading lady I haven't fancied.
I think you've got to fancy them.
Yeah, yeah.
Otherwise, it's no fun.
What's the point of doing a film?
You should use films as speed dating.
Pretty much, yeah.
It's like Tinder for me.
See, again, I think this is challenging for my wife.
Her last husband, she was married before, was a ski champion.
And now she's married to that.
And that's when I knew I had to do something.
Oh, really?
So now I have this fantastic Swedish woman who comes three times a week.
And then we go back to the house,
and she puts me on the floor of my sitting room
and wrestles me for half an hour.
Really?
Wow, well, I can see where you'd get a pretty good workout.
It's a big mouth.
But I was aware of a faint echo when I was kissing her.
Everyone has to deal with growing older.
Here is how this affected Hugh Grant throughout his acting career and personal life.
I cry in every movie now.
Do you really?
Since I hit 45, I pretty much cry all day.
That's what it is.
The older I get, the more nervous I get when films are looming.
And it seems to calm me down.
That's good.
I think any part of the process that calms you down is good and helpful.
It's better than lorazepam.
Are you dreading 50?
Are you going to throw a big bash, or are you going to keep it quiet?
I don't know how to cope with it.
I'm thinking of going to Dignitas in Switzerland and having myself put down.
We should have a joint party.
Why don't we have a big party together?
We have no mutual friends.
We mix in different worlds.
I was smoking a few years, you know.
But it was difficult.
When I was living with Elizabeth at the time, who smokes 400 a day.
But she's awesome now.
She's wearing patches.
You know, you're supposed to wear...
Dicotine patch.
Yeah, and you're meant to wear three, then two, then one.
Right.
She's still on 20 patches.
I can't stop telling people my innermost secrets.
If there's anything you want to know, Bryce, ask me.
If anyone has any questions...
It was really weird because I spent half my life campaigning for privacy.
Yes.
And the other half revealing everything about myself.
Every talk show he's on, he just has to be funny.
It's one of his quirks.
There hasn't been one interview where he was serious.
And was this something that they asked you?
Yes.
I have to be begged.
Okay.
I love to be begged.
Hi.
Hi, I'm Chucky.
Want to play?
Or...
Um...
Hi.
Sorry.
I'm Chucky.
I just wondered if you'd maybe like to play?
You know, these magazine covers, which they're everywhere.
And for some reason, I look...
In every single one, I look like Ellen DeGeneres.
And I...
I love Ellen.
I love her, but I just...
You know, it would be nice to look different from her.
With his dry British wit and brilliantly awkward delivery,
even the simplest comment can completely derail an interview.
Grant also had a stalker at Comic-Con, and it didn't go so well.
I did have a stalker, and I went to...
What's that thing?
Comic-Con.
Yeah.
I was stalked for three days by a man dressed as a hot dog.
And at first it was funny, then it was frightening.
Yeah.
You know, people who take a lot of drugs, like you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, stop it.
You're a genius.
I don't know how you do it.
You put the most uptight people relaxed, but it is very tough.
But you are all relaxed.
You're nice.
I'm really uptight still.
Well, there was a lot of weird stuff, but not because I was brave and chose it.
It was just the only work I got.
And, yeah, there was only one horror film.
I mean, some of the others were horrifying because they were so bad, but...
Some drunk person the night before had left a sort of Tupperware
packet of a baked potato and lots of baked beans on my doorstep.
So I just picked it up to throw it away.
And then I thought, no, I'll use that as a weapon.
And I threw it at these pats.

Which celebrity would you like to see next?
Here are the times where Grant revealed things about movies he shouldn't have.
It's a rom-com, yeah.
But it's like for adults, you know what I mean?
It's like...
But it's not a romantic comedy, really.
They've built it as a romantic comedy to try and sell tickets.
But actually, it just...
Oh.
It has...
He was your OJ.
Well, he was in more ways than one because...
Not to give it away.
All right, I will.
He got off.
And...
Well, yeah, yeah.
I got the whole of Amazon thinking, well, he just blew the whole series now.
No one's going to watch it.
But that is a historical fact.
And so I haven't given too much away.
But he got off, but in a very OJ-ish kind of way.
She did try and teach me better techniques, you know?
Oh, really?
Yeah, because she learned these things through doing Estee Lauder.
There's, for instance, surprised but delighted by the camera.
I'll do it for you now.
Okay.
So you'd go...
Where's the camera?
Use three right there.
This one right there.
You ready?
Yeah, here we go.
So it's like, I don't know there's a camera there.
It opens April 13th.
Well, that's great.
And I'm sure it'll be a big hit for you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I keep thinking you're about to play a lovely clip.
But I guess you're not.
Well, I don't know.
It's out of my hands.
Let's see.
Do we have time for a lovely clip?
