Hugh Grant stays cool under pressure

Actor Hugh Grant has starred in countless films. In his latest, he plays a suave character alongside Meryl Streep in "Florence Foster Jenkins." So it was a big surprise when he told our Tracy Smith he was a nervous wreck before stepping in front of the camera.

[@marccosta7376]

This man spreads britishness. Elegance, education and alcohol issues

[@TheAkelei]

You forgot the humour, obviously. But you are right. The Brits just have it.

[@piffpaff9674]

haha that was a good one - oooh, that bloody drinking in Britain!

[@phuckerby]

He's still just a fricking actor! and should stick to acting, I am not in the slightest bit interested in his personal political views!

[@ffeff8353]

@@phuckerby --- what can I say, a lot more people are interested in Hugh Grant's political views than in any of your own... Besides, he hasn't expressed any political views here beyond his belief that victims of crime or other people who have not asked for any kind of celebrity not be hounded by the tabloids, which I think is a perfectly praiseworthy effort.

[@paulwright2264]

[@maryannewhite7300]

I adore Hugh Grant and hope he never retires from making movies. Love his self-deprecating interviews, keen intelligence, and enchanting humor. He's refreshing, delightful and irresistible. Je t'aime !

[@ermentrud]

This man is a real heart throb! I love not only his looks but also his honesty, not to speak of his sense of humour! He is so up front. Nothing phoney about him. I do hope he will continue acting in films. I wish him only happiness and lots of good luck.

[@hedegaard8]

@@leicestergirl63 Ha, this was over a year ago and don't even recall seeing this video. And no, commentating is a correct word, also in this context: commentate (ˈkɒmənˌteɪt) vb 1.

(tr) US to make a commentary on (a text, event, etc) Usage: The verb commentate, derived from commentator, is sometimes used as a synonym for comment on or provide acommentary for.

[@tootz1950]

I agree with him that the media was fair about the reporting, but they pushed it down our throats. So it was true, but come on, enough. He's an excellent actor, an intelligent man and smart enough not to get married.

[@rumblefish9]

@@Is4bellem4rie Same. I wanted Clive to be happy with Maurice. In the end Clive did love Maurice but he chose duty over love. Both Hugh and James Wilby were brilliant in their roles. For someone so green in the industry (it was Hugh's first proper role) Hugh plays Clive with so much thought and nuance. Conveying the torture, conflict, complexity and sadness of the character.

[@085cur1ty]

@@rumblefish9 same! I watched Another Country when it was available on channel 4- love the story of Guy Burgess, and was blown away by the representation of both gayness and the yearning for an idealistic, radical left society. After that I found out about Maurice and wasn’t going to watch it because everyone said it was so sad, but after learning more about the story and watching far too many Lana Del Ray edits, I decided to give it a go! I really loved the agonising plot, but ultimately the happy ending, and I particularly enjoy the character of Alec Scudder as a representation of the working class- he rightly sees himself as equal and just as worthy as Maurice and the other rich characters. Such films give much food for thought, happiness and they have really left permanent marks on me! I am also obsessed with the aesthetic lol. Should I read the book?

Hugh paid a fine, was placed on probation while Divine was jailed for 3 months, $500.00 fine and had to attend sex safety classes. Had she been a celebrity, I doubt that she would have received anything more than a slap on the wrist!

[@oliverholmes-gunning5372]

To be fair, he also had to attend safe sex classes. And in most countries the penalty for a prostitute soliciting a client is usually stronger than that for a client soliciting a prostitute. I'm not saying it's right or fair (in my opinion prostitution should be legalised and regulated anyway), but that's how it works regardless of if you're a celebrity or not.

[@rumblefish9]

Sarcastically Deranged you also forgot to mention that Divine Brown's life was made better after the scandal. Because of the money she earned from interviews and appearances, she was able to buy a house and send her 2 children to private school. She was able to permanently get off the streets and stop hooking.
