[@jameslock9275]

Hugh Grant was so good u wouldn’t even notice it was him he’s was unbelievable

[@hamzapicture4899]

Ol

[@sw9618]

Agreed

[@modfathermarts]

I think we're just so used to seeing him play the same posh, self deprecating character for the past 20 years that he takes us by surprise when he actually acts

[@CTFC44]

hugh grant’s character makes the gentlemen what it is in my opinion. it’s quickly become one of my favourite films

[@wadecohagan2388]

Yeah I couldn't stand him until this film.

[@peterd788]

Hugh Grant had the most lines in the film with long stretches of dialogue and I agree with Charlie that he was very impressive. He obviously had a lot of fun with the part and he's been getting better and better since he stopped being a romantic lead.

[@themancuniancandidate2744]

Peter D I believe he based the sleaziness of the character on various journalists he dealt with during the period he sued newspapers for hacking his phone

[@alexestrada2757]

I was mesmerized by Hugh Grant’s performance as Fletcher as much as McConaughey whenever he went full beast

[@talaataleghani9691]

I completely agree, and now that I know he lost his notes right before, I'm even more impressed with his performance.

[@julieadams8560]

Hes a geordie ! You don't lose that accent!!

[@lewis6916]

He was always a great actor. I think he had bad luck with how bad the scripts often are in romances. In films like this he shines as he should though.

[@RawBerserker]

Saw this movie last week. Insanely fun, well worth a watch.

[@happzy]

Guy Ritchie thrives in these kind of movies. Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Rocknrolla, Revolver to name just a few masterpieces made by this genius. I hate when he's wasting his talent on garbage like Aladdin.

[@kimberleymacfarlane]

I loved Aladdin! The only live action to be half decent cause of Guy!

[@Frenchiemonkeyful]

I just watched it, i agree with you!a movie very well entitled

[@jagdeepsinghsidhu2296]

I love this movie

[@muhashames5924]

As a cinema lover, I really really feel bad that Hugh Grant didn't do more films like this, he was stuck in a certain genre, and it didn't let him shine, he has an amazing talent underneath that calm romantic roles he got us used to, what a shame, the guy is insanely talented, loved him in the Gentlemen.

[@muhashames5924]

@Matthew Grant true but still, he could've been making millions making cinematic history, look at this talent, but he, unfortunately, didn't. Bad manager I guess

[@brianb8003]

Hugh was the 90s british pretty boy. The loveable, cute, non-threatening love interest. It wasn't until her guy more distinguished and grizzly that he can execute parts like this. 90s Huge Grant could have never pulled this role off.

[@rumblefish9]

@@brianb8003 not grizzly but Maurice was a serious role and he pulled it off despite the movie being his first experience as a lead actor. He was also good in Remains of the Day.

[@Rikki-lh2mw]

Same here mate today 3rd times I watch the gentlemen movie.hugh grant is a great actor!!

[@evasirova3985]

In The Undoing he was brilliant as psychopath. Totally agree with you, he plays these roles in an extraordinary way.

[@jamjar5525]

Can ppl get over his hybrid accent already? He spent 8 years on SOA using an American accent plus the American films he’s done, plus the fact he lives in America; of course his accent will be affected.

[@kimberleymacfarlane]

Jamais Vu Fuck yes! He talks different, seriously people get the fuck over it!

[@johnthwaites5976]

He has a geordie accent

[@ygyg2272]

Nah my guy has had that accent since he starred in green street

[@chrisklitou7573]

@@johnthwaites5976 not anymore he doesn't

[@chrisklitou7573]

@Error Report his accent is mixed between American and English accent

[@Vilmantas3580]

Best movie i have seen in a long time and i see a lot of movies. Guy Ritchie is a genius

[@RickGrimesS5]

Oh hell yeah Charlie has his long hair back! Still looks like Jax.. His best character EVER.

The entire film was a joy to watch. So many twists and turns, but I particarly liked Golding's character. What a bastard!

[@_sherrib9124]

He was a piece of shit, wasn’t he? 😂

[@Rooster792]

It was a good movie!

[@Afrimusican]

Right?! Lol

[@ninjasrose1653]

I'm not in anyway a Hugh Grant fan tbh. But it was one of the greatest displays of acting I have ever witnessed. It took me 20 minutes to actually realise it was him.

[@lisal6121]

Such a FANTASTIC film. Such excellent acting from all. Colin Ferrell, Hugh Grant and Charlie are just incredible.

[@ishinault35]

I don’t care if he does use his natural accent he is still Jax Teller

[@RickGrimesS5]

Yes!

[@viksaggu9085]

@Joe S Our commercial is about a new slogan for Milk, (Milk for Life), and Señor Leche adventures. Watch and see how fun he is! Kids and families love him! You'll love him too!!! Want to back or work with Senor Leche? Then please contact him at [phone]. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5OagGacjaiHp8k

I had no idea that Hugh Grant was that great of an actor. He really worked that character well.

[@LuchoH838]

Criminally underrated movie. The Gentlemen is an amazing watch.

[@godzilla5502]

Saw this movie the other week, He killed it in this movie ! This movie is so good

[@youngthug149]

I saw this movie the other night just a great fun film. Hugh Grants narration is brilliant

[@eddiej9733]

Every actor in this brilliant movie delivers one of their best performances. Colin Farrell is extraordinary, like Grant, inhabits a character nothing like anything I’ve ever seen him do before. Have seen it multiple times over the years and is the go to movie every 6mths or so, and enjoy it as much if not more each time

[@cattogirl999]

Hugh Grant is a treasure. An Icon. I adore him so much 😍💕

[@esmeraldajai298]

I love Charlie. He has nothing but nice things to say about other people. Sweetheart of a guy.

[@yoyoyowantsumchicken2go721]

Loved that movie. Remember when it first came out. Mf awesome

[@anthonycampos8057]

Charlie Hunnam is a remarkable actor. That scene in Sons of Anarchy where Jax finds Tara's body was absolutely gut wrenching and quite frankly an Oscar worthy performance

What episode?

To me I'll always remember him from #SOA as Jax Teller❤️❤️❤️

Andrea Lynn totally.

[@naylas3908]

I remember him from the UK Queer as folk series, the original, when he was 19 years old...

[@geoffreyfeinberg9792]

He's a good actor. Gentlemen I like to see. Good cast. Hugh Grant seems to play more mature roles.

[@yxvngprincemusic]

I love this movie thanks for making it!!

[@DEDITS-gd8qt]

He was amazing in The Gentlemen (they all were, awesome movie). Obviously he is known for Sons of Anarchy, which he absolutely owned. But if you enjoy his acting, check out his work in The Lost City of Z, Green Street Hooligans and Papillon.

[@leonie49]

D. EDITS in the UK he’s more well known for his role he played in the early 90s in Queer as folk.

[@TheJoyfulHomemaker05]

King Arthur...

[@kimberleymacfarlane]

King Arthur he was brilliant. So underrated. Green street, cold mountain - he breaks your heart! Frankie goes boom is also underrated. He has definitely grown as an actor, he is fantastic.

[@spartakaz5393]

When he touched the barbecue and he was like "Ow fuck me" I laughed my ass off

This movie is amazing 10/10. But there’s no way International audiences can understand the nuisances ... it’s a masterpiece in writing

hugh grant is a great performer!

[@DoMMy627]

This is funny to see considering the fact that he gave what I think was the best performance in the film.

[@kimberleymacfarlane]

He’s very humble. He did a comedy awhile ago called ‘Frankie goes boom’ I loved it, it flopped but it’s got a bit of a cult following. After that he felt he couldn’t cut it in comedy I heard him say a few times he wasn’t going to do comedy again. It was great to see him crush this role in comedy and drama.

[@gimiproductions]

Awesome movie just saw it yesterday!

[@claudiu9001]

He killed it in the movie

[@debasmitanandy4558]

happens to a lot of british actors, gary oldman had to take classes to get his british accent back lol.

@Matthew Grant Green Street is great but his accent isn't amazing in it. its supposed to be cockney but doesn't sound it

Yeah, here's the thing, Charlie Hunnam is the treat here. The other guys are probably not terrible people, and they're certainly talented at acting, but Charlie Hunnam -- _from what I can tell here and in other places_ -- is a genuinely great human.
