Hugh Grant says the greaterer he gets the more he necessitates console. Well some of that console is coming with a finish reoriginateion of his movie star persona and now has resulted in a criticassociate commendd carry outance in his first “horror” film, Heretic. Grant enhappinesss taking acting dangers these days, and for the past decade or so has been turning into a virtual character actor in such films as Pinsertington 2, Wonka, The Gentlemen, and Cdeafening Atlas among others. In fact it was the latter film, take parting six roles, that drew the honestors of Heretic to casting him as a man who lures a couple of unmistrusting youthful women into a nightmarish world when they knock on his door to originate a religious pitch.

We talk about how comedy is downcastly underappreciated at the Oscars, how he almost quit acting before his fractureout role in Four Weddings And A Funeral came aextfinished and why authorr Ricdifficult Curtis thought he was all wrong for that role. “He equitable couldn’t depend I could take part someone having difficulty getting the girl, so we repaired that with the worst haircut and clothes choices,” he giggleed. He names the hit comedy in which he says he was absolutely appalling, talks about why at 64 he doesn’t attfinish much anymore, the request of Love Actuassociate, his return to Bridget Jones after skipping the third one, plus the unforeseeed film of his that Quentin Tarantino tgreater him he adored.
