Hugh Grant: From British dandy to successful villain

After starting his film career alongside directors such as James Ivory (Mauritius, The Remains of the Day), Ken Russell (The lair of the white worm) or even Roman Polanski (gall moons), becomes Hugh Grant an iconic face of British and American comedy through his roles in Four weddings and a funeral, Even nine months, Love at first sight in Notting Hill, blue eyes of mickey mouse and naturally Bridget Jones’s diary.

In his memoirs entitled Did I ever tell you?Sam Neill reveals that Hugh Grant absolutely did not believe Four weddings and a funeral, the Mike Newell comedy written by Richard Curtis which blew up the actor’s popularity. In the book of him, the star of Jurassic Park write :

I had dinner with Hugh Grant shortly after the screening of Sirens. I asked him what he was filming at the moment and he replied: “Oh! A shit movie called Four weddings and a funeral. A disaster, a turnip”.

Asked by IndieWireHugh Grant confirmed his partner’s words Sirens AND The King’s Gift in a statement, admit you were completely wrong :

I love and miss Sam, and it’s absolutely true that we all thought we were going to make a huge turnip before the first screenings. I was clearly wrong and the movie completely changed my life. It was the start of a great friendship with Richard Curtis, and I’ve always had the utmost respect for Mike Newell, who taught me things for which I’m grateful today.
