Hugh Grant must go on making movies for the simple fact that it forces him to also continue doing those hilarious interviews.

I met Hugh Grant when I had no idea who he was. We chatted quite a bit over a few years' time and he was charming, morose, a hypochondriac and honestly a moaner. He was utterly wonderful to be friends with and I've never met anyone who was more resolutely 'themself'. I admire him tremendously and miss his friendship but regular people don't inhabit movie stars' orbit. I wish him all the best.

So glad to see the many similarly minded comments made here.
