Love Hugh Grant, ageing beautifully, super intelligent, charming, handsome and quite funny.

[@vernapitout3166]

There is a guy in S.A. that cud be his brother coz they luk alike! I just think he is soo handsome too Same as our Hugh😄💗

[@grk2781]

He’s gorgeous!!😋

[@user-zi5oj2vo3y]

Love Hugh Grant....

[@Maliilse75]

This man inhales oxygen and exhales charisma.

[@kirastus]

So underrated as an actor. He should continue to make movies so he can continue to give hilarious and intelligent interviews like this!

[@staticcentrehalf7166]

You're right. "Underrated" but also "Understated," and that's the key to HG's appeal.

[@Hannah-pk6iq]

wait until 2022

[@nicolettacinci3053]

Not underrated here in UK

[@nonebusiness4488]

one of the funniest actors alive. cute too, but always funny

[@TheElvaOfficial]

He's so funny. I love watching his interviews

[@marjanp4784]

This man is capable of lighten up anyone's mood...

[@suzannegoode1557]

Could be stand up comic with his dry British wit. Brilliant guy, plus adorable of course

[@CharleneImperatrice]

Hugh Grant makes me happy . He is a riot . And lovable . Timeless ...💕

[@angelrallovallejo4804]

One of the funniest, cultivated and most elegant actors ever, in my view

[@avishekparui4677]

‘You only have a finite resource of freshness’... what a funny, true, and wise line!

[@juliettebrown2673]

Great Hugh Grant interview dry wit & real film talk, in his quientenssial self deprecating style, with a bit of haughty throw in!!

[@avishekparui4677]

Such a clever, classy, and charmingly humorous man. And a very very solid actor!

[@maximinadarocha7755]

Hugh Grant uno solo existe...GRANDEEE!!!.

[@marabu_00]

Hugh Grant is such an amazing actor and lovely human being, it's always a pleasure to hear him speak! It was a great interview.

[@mlrmlr4919]

Great interviewer too. Grant is a total charmer.

[@winnielai7455]

Hugh Grant is such a witty man. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview!

[@piffpaff9674]

I am Swiss so I can dare to say that: Only the BRITS (and Irish) got such gorgeous actors and actresses. It is that specific wicked charme and quick wit that you can find only there. Hugh Grant, whose self-ironic personality and charme reminds me on big actors like Cary Grant, Peter O'Toole and the like. It is fabulous that our generation has such charismatic actors,too. I hope he is going to play many good parts in the future.

[@arkdtk]

Great interview, all questions were well thought out. And the interviewer seems like he did his reasearch. Very entertaining

[@Pepperanddine]

very well done. Enjoy to watch. Yes, the interviewer brought it on!

[@sumertawan]

I like huge grant because of his natural acting and accent expression while speaking...

[@judyheim6998]

Love Actually should have gotten awards. A wonderfully done movie with great actors and a story that wound itself around and then tied up all lose ends

[@xoxosahar]

Love Hugh grant! Excellent interview

[@studio3ten]

OMG....Hugh's humor.....its so freaking funny............

[@Joy-qw3wm]

Yey.Loved this interview .am such a big fan of Hugh and his movies.Notting Hill is probably my favourite ,and always leaves me feeling good.

[@bev9708]

He was just excellent in this role!! He such a self-deprecating humble guy, which really adds to his charm perhaps, though it's kinda sad that he doesn't appreciate just how talented he actually is!!

[@felicitytaylor9380]

I loooove Hugh Grant and his humour . Young and older he is gorgeous. Acting with Meryl Streep must have been amazing dedicated and intense and a brilliant actress . Acting with Hugh Grant must be incredible and soooooooo much fun

[@janisarmstrong4924]

Hugh Grant rocks in everything he does. I usually end up watching his films several times since I first saw him in Impromptu. I have watched The Undoing at least four times. I just really enjoy him.

[@springhernandez7417]

His interviews and movies are fantastic ❤️❤️

[@barrygioportmorien1]

Hugh was excellent as usual, in this "Florence Foster Jenkins" movie.

[@gabrielleeden]

love this guy--love "The Rewrite" so funny!!!!

[@barrygioportmorien1]

Yes I do too, it's one of my favourite's of Hugh Grant's movies

[@kirastus]

And thank you for uploading BAFTA Guru

[@Fiery421]

Its amazing how good Hugh Laurie is at an American accent.

[@trumpetsharps4496]

An excellent interview, Bravo!! And I remain curious to know why Mr Grant did not take up a role in any of the Harry Potter films.

[@KATHERINE-bn4nn]

I love this man!

[@rudyxrudy]

love hugh Grant.....if i had to say only 1..i'd say NOTTING HILL

[@rudyxrudy]

OR "Love, Actually'

[@beverlystraus9300]

Rudy Wilson YES!!! NOTTING HILL ❤❤❤❤

[@halflanding1900]

*Great* interview!! Would give this 1000 upvotes if I can.

[@notpebbles310]

"so 1 year turned into 35" hahahahahaha

[@teddiev2720]

I loved Mickey Blue Eyes. Of course I loved all of Hugh Grant’s movies.

[@chijavier268]

I'm not particularly bothered with Hugh Grant even though I liked Four Weddings and just a little bit of Notting Hill ( only because I cannot stand Julia Roberts who I thought was miscast), but after watching Florence recently not to mention his brilliant acting on A Very English Scandal I started to look into his interviews on KZbin. This guy is so intelligent so smart and very funny in a very English sarcastic style.👍 The only thing I'm not impressed with him about is his political viewpoints. But as an actor Hugh Grant is hugely underestimated.

[@radio-su6lh]

When you say politics, do you mean you're not a supporter of his 'Hacked Off' campaign - stopping abuses of privacy by the newspapers inc hacking people's phones.

[@johnp515]

What specifically is a political view of his that you disagree with?

[@livl5168]

Okay mr tory

[@livl5168]

@@johnp515 probably that he’s not a conservative that’s my guess

[@gontim38]

Why didn't he mention anything about Briget Jones' Diary？ or did he?? Daniel Cleaver is my favorite character he played．

[@Joy-qw3wm]

Yes!The "fighting/wrestling" scenes with Colin were hysterical..:)

[@smileday7822]

Hugh Grant...one day I wanna have a beary nice conversation with you with something nibble 😆

[@elizabethwilcox6490]

Keep fighting Hugh..

[@janelleetsitty36]

Micky Blue Eyes 😆 Hysterical 🤣

[@Patricia-ok1cd]

Volume is poor

[@tracy4aminute376]

Even though he has trouble keeping his pants zipped, I find him likable and interesting and charming.

[@Nina-oi1qk]

lots of women find him likeable and charming hence the trouble keeping his pants zipped.

[@DavidThomas-tw6my]

Dry British wit and a great actor

[@JulieBirTV]

Hugh Grant - funny man, great actor. Why is he pushed so much to the left and there isn’t much lighting on him? Why?

[@christellebilodeau]

33:52 He turned down the role of Gilderoy Lockhart

[@gpsoedarso3815]

I guessed as much.

Which is the "silent movie" Grant makes reference to at 23:00?

A gentleman like Hugh Grant in front of you, look yourself... This shoes??? Is style or not minimum thanks?

Agata Garcia • the pink laces do draw the attention, that’s right.

[@Andrea.G..69]

I wonder why he never tried doing stand up? I suppose it's not a typical English thing to do.

[@louduva9849]

24:00

[@NikAureli]

i rate Hugh Grant but he does apologetically mumble something about the "English luvvie" at least once in all of his interviews

[@elizabethwilcox6490]

You hate or rate?

[@deborahwatkins7298]

O

[@pauldawson6138]

Grant is mean to photographers, kicking, cursing them. And using street hookers. What a guy.
