[@Tesla_Death_Ray]

the honesty and warmth in that last line was quite moving

[@tiararoxeanne1318]

2:00 Impressed when he blatantly said "... I think it's the Hollywood way. As long as you make money, they don't care what you did."😂 I would like to see him on stage together with Ricky Gervais roasting themselves and other people😂🤣😂🤣

[@InstallaFriend]

"As long as you make money, they don't care what you get up to." Hmm, he might be right

[@paulbunyon2889]

Install a Friend "Might be" right? Lol

[@normadesmond6017]

it itsn't called show-business for nothing.....

[@jeffreychongsathien]

Even with children.

[@nikitamohanan2124]

Well that's how Harvey and Matt Lauer survived for decades!

[@akayrk]

wow i teared up at the last line. what a guy, he really really meant it

[@girlbaby9311]

That interviewer is horrible at his job. He keeps interrupting Hugh when he tries to talk. I hate interviewers like that.

[@CJCappella]

융융유유 - he’s deaf... haha

[@beneyboo3800]

Ice Cream I hate people who look for something to complain about. You couldn’t do half as good of a job as he does

[@dominikwawer8186]

Try Oprah, Tyra....hihi

[@stargazerlse]

That last line is truly if you love her, let her go in practice

[@misssjustice3791]

Hugh completely flipped the script on this one by owning it! We liked him even more! He didn't run to rehab or lie he manned up by turning himself into a charming but naughty little boy!

[@lex8799]

Speak for yourself

[@tiararoxeanne1318]

He gives an impression as an honest & charming a-hole, who is self-aware and struggling with his a-holeness. Honestly I'm not sure how much of it is real, but I can't help to be charmed by him🤦🏼‍♀️

[@-HRH]

Goddam that’s a candid interview. Hugh Grant is a brave and charming man.

[@Hannah-201]

He has a serious manner about him yet when he starts taking He doesn't take himself seriously..he laughs at his flaws. Humour gets him through I think

[@sissi8610]

He'd be a funny guy to have as a friend, for sure. I kind of like him.

[@zlamelie]

It was one of the top movies at our household at the time. My dad and I rented Nine Months VHS dozen times at least. Loved Hugh ever since. He's refreshingly honest, very grounded and his dry British humour is just a cherry on the top.

[@fatjoe1251]

seems like ur dad loves him even more..

[@zlamelie]

Fat Joe this attempted joke is fine only if you're not past middle school

[@fatjoe1251]

i'm already 5

[@leicestergirl63]

Fat Joe: No, I think your IQ is 5.

[@DennisBayazitov]

Greatest media recovery ever. Smooth save.

[@amishasingh6227]

He is amazing gentleman such an inspiration how he handled everything love this man♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@kimcantswim174]

Gentlemen don't pick up seedy hookers when their girlfriend's away 😏

[@honeybeebadger]

Well handled this guy has an honesty about him and women just adore him

[@dkvienna8415]

I want her to be happy ... 😍 ... what a lovely guy

[@miralabualjadail4206]

‘’Cant believe they bought my bullshite, but they did” About a Boy 👦

[@AlejandroGarcia-ek3uy]

He is even more attractive now.

[@LadyPercy.]

Hugh is so dam handsome and charming.

[@mois9555]

I love the English actors so much.

[@Ava-cy6qw]

The interviewer does not get Grant's jokes at all :-) must be an American :-)

[@beneyboo3800]

Ava yet this site you’re on is an American based one. Funny how you anti American slobs sure love American products

[@waykool698]

Ben EyBoo USA USA USA 1776 USA USA 1776 🤓

[@antifugazi]

I love Hugh Grant he is just a funny unapologetic guy

[@makeyourself1988]

Nine months is one of my favourite movies

[@ggiant9844]

what a bad interviewer

[@d.wilkinson8488]

I get that "we" like him now, and YES! he's done apparent growing and wisening over the years- but more important than his one personality- PLEASE go back and look at the archival footage of how the case was handled in the media, and the press surrounding the other party... "Surviving"? Give me a break... He was treated as a "charming bad boy"; chuckling ,grinning, paying, and playing all the way back to Hollywood's good graces.

[@tiararoxeanne1318]

The way media treated him favorably is because of his honesty and humbly apologetic demeanor. Prior to his interview with Jay Leno, the media talked in a very different tone.

[@wall-e7179]

Lol the media in England murdered him. And hacked his phone to get more stories.

[@stelamarisfernandes8746]

Amo Hugh Grant ❤❤❤❤

[@tommym321]

In the days of social media, apologies and taking ownership don’t work anymore

[@v4v819]

Nothing works if you're racist!

[@nora_yasmine]

God I love this man

[@laurae2489]

He looks great!

[@peaceangel-rl2hf]

Saucy minx. Its always the prim and proper ones that are dodgy on the down low

[@amishasingh6227]

We are all like brother and sister ♥️😂😂😂Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley wanted her to be happy ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@hanniffydinn6019]

Quintessential randy English dude... Plays English fops so well...

[@claudioperez-eh1oq]

Hun grant ganaste un año mas

[@user-bo8ui8tl8q]

He was soooo handsome

[@ricardovelasco3976]

"A tiny Flat in Earl's Court". Earl's Court is a well to to area, so one must still have some dosh to afford a small Flat there.

[@arnarne]

It wasn't back then.

[@TheWritersPlayground]

I just ADORE HIM 😍

[@boycie2.099]

I have many go to movies and I have to admit mickey blue eyes and about a boy 2 of my go to movies

[@milagroslinares7428]

Hugh Grant te amo lakaaaaaaaa

[@mRcordwilK]

Rick moranis never aged

[@BatmanHQYT]

Lol his face at 2:21 like "where is this question going?"

[@tomimpala]

You can still see Thorpe's mannerisms here and there.

[@Psmith-ek5hq]

Norman Scott wrote his autobiography. It's called Scott of the Arse Antics.

[@mia_hqy]

Didn’t expect that awkward ending.

[@robinj4372]

Funny guy. I Grant him that.

[@tombryan1]

You could apologize to your fiance at the time.

[@VH07654]

I wish Hugh grant and Larry david work on a show together. Two grumpy actors with a great sense of comedy

[@dinaguy9809]

Endearing

[@carforumwanker]

seems the clever money funding films are a little "concerned" about his health :-)

[@thehoneyeffect]

I hope Ebony Brown is happy and her life is great

[@melissaredhead6000]

Divine Brown

[@rumblefish9]

thehoneyeffect All the money she got from interviews and appearances led to something positive. She was able to buy a house and send her children to private school. She even thanked Grant for it.

[@reservaify]

So gorgeous

[@gullerozturk2968]

🇹🇷Türkiye'de de hayranların olduğunu unutma lütfen buraya gel seni çok seviyoruz❤❤❤😘😘😘🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

[@polyprinz]

Handsome man, very charming!

[@pulse4503]

Ive always wondered why he chose to live in London instead of LA, for he made lots of movies in the US

[@rumblefish9]

Because LA is incredibly fake

[@pulse4503]

@@rumblefish9 in what way? A guy like him fits in London perfectly, I Guess

[@Psmith-ek5hq]

Because he's British, and he was born in London might have something to do with it.

[@nowankersallowed2115]

I don't know how they survived scandals when the whole world knows what you've done, having your name splashed about everywhere in a compromising situation.. everyone having an opinion on you.. I had said I liked Hugh Grant as an actor. I don't know how any of these people have lived with the paparazzi chasing after them. Agreeing to an interview is one thing but being chased and forced is quite another.

[@rumblefish9]

Read up on Hugh's work with Hacked Off. He literally wired himself to record and expose the extent of the UK's hacking schandal.

[@Psmith-ek5hq]

It wasn't the paps fault that he picked up a prostitute by kerb-crawling and got caught while being given a blowjob. That's just asking for trouble, especially if you're a well-known face.

[@Psmith-ek5hq]

I wonder how much Divine charged?

[@dmnla]

He looks good for his age.

[@MariaLima-vi8vg]

You didn't know who you should apologize to how about your lovely girlfriend / fiance Elizabeth Hurley

[@joyandpeacefullaughter5307]

How do you remain friends with a man who constantly cheated on you? 🤔

[@rumblefish9]

Be a mature adult that's one. Not everyone stays vindictive.

[@dellwright1407]

Lack of jealousy and mutual affection?

[@sexobscura]

He wasn't to blame for the 'scandal' as he was on *Glint* at the time

[@Kitties_are_pretty]

Wait what happened? He picked up a prostitute? That's bad? He's got to put the hair shirt on and have a mope because he attempted to pay for a sex act? What is this shit?

[@Psmith-ek5hq]

He was far too indiscreet about it. Couldn't he have taken her to a hotel?

[@tyreetristan8525]

Now thats its not connect to the phone jack whats it sound like A HUE GRANT

[@mynameisroman]

what he did was probably legal in the UK

[@Psmith-ek5hq]

You're certainly wrong.

[@kywha1e_]

He’s been arrested for God’s sake. So many things say he’s not a good person but wow, is he still incredibly attractive.

[@Suzyfromtheblock]

Hugh didn’t-do a bad thing I hope the woman made some money for her self

[@gaelgarciaisagod]

She did. Over a million dollars and was able to send her children to private school. I believe she ended up remarrying as well. The whole situation is a bit bittersweet to me but I am happy that she capitalized.

[@lex8799]

Yes he did - he paid a prostitute which was a criminal offence. And he cheated on his partner - which was even worse, morally speaking. Unless you have no sense of moral code and ethics.

[@Suzyfromtheblock]

@@lex8799 if he wasn’t getting it, he went elsewhere for it

[@sandeepkulshrestha1257]

Hugh is talking in American Accent here

[@tyreetristan8525]

So he went into a bunch school and told people he liked to rip off women clothes

[@ChrJahnsen]

How can you not like Hugh Grant! I don't give a shit that he bought a prostitute. He is a hell of a nice guy.

[@michaelvaughn7495]

Ol miss divine brown 🤔🤔wonder where sh gets her last name ??😆😆😆🤦🏾‍♂️

[@mohadeseh9736]

Now they have a baby together 😭❤️

[@annestratinga4157]

unphuckwithable No, they do not.

[@JHallenbeck]

A tiny flat in Earl's Court, Hugh? I'm sure that was terribly hard living in one of the most expensive areas in Central West London.

[@ArcherV]

J Hallenbeck well 20 years ago it wasn’t a great and expensive area

[@sartoresartus]

Not in the 80s.

[@pintpot]

Yes, in the 80s, it was famous as the only area where Aussies could survive on bartending pay

[@ECCENTRICERIC69]

You are a clueless twat .... Earls Court was a cheapish area full of bed sits for people who couldn't afford the more desirable areas

[@darreylhenderson702]

I actually think he's aged rather rough TBH

[@sadia2395]

I agree

[@wallacetrisler8560]

The obsequious kilometer histologically tug because stage whitely slip besides a exotic fibre. sneaky, puzzled duckling

[@mnaftw]

Why would you apologise for picking up a prostitute, unless you tricked,abused or harmed her in some way? Good on him for not apologising, legalize prostutution guys - sex workers are workers and need rights!

[@stonem0013]

because he did a bad thing. We look to our celebrities for guidance. How are we meant to live our lives well if they do bad things and don't apologise for them?

[@luizholiveira3105]

I don't know why english and american people age so fast. Here in Brazil is so different. Come to Brazil, people, eat our food. We can help you. lol

[@RisforRockit]

So, lots of fatty foods, presumably?

[@paigeconnelly4244]

You mean white people?

[@paigeconnelly4244]

Besides, he's 57! Are trying to say people in brazil are wrinkle free at 60?

[@mnaftw]

Sun damage - white people need to live and breathe SPF and then maybe we would age a bit slower

[@Danybella]

Oh please, keep your superiority complex to yourself.

[@okaminess]

Hugh grant isn’t my cuppa.

[@billystclair5162]

He did nothing wrong.

[@Psmith-ek5hq]

Thus explaining why his mugshot was taken and fined $1,180 by a court.
