WTF Happened to HUGH GRANT?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrCE80QeRQI

In the nineties, Hugh Grant owned the rom-com. From his debut in Four Weddings and a Funeral to his American breakthrough in 1995’s Nine Months, nothing could derail Grant’s career, not even a well-publicized scandal that landed his mug shot on the cover of tabloids worldwide, which everyone thought would ruin his image for good. He was able to bounce back and his charm helped make 1999’s Notting Hill one of the most popular romantic comedies of all time.

Grant hit his stride in the early 2000’s, thanks to his a series of roles that paired him with writer Richard Curtis, including About a Boy, Love Actually and Bridget Jones’s Diary. Yet, towards the end of the decade his rom-coms started to flop, and he vanished from the big screen for several years. Yet, thanks to against type casting in movies like The Gentleman and some well-received small screen turns, Grant seems to be on the verge of a comeback. We dig into his ups and downs in this episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity.

There was an interview where he answered that question: he sees acting as a job. He had enough money for the rest of his life, so he mostly retired and enjoyed life.
