Hugh Grant Tries To Do An American Accent | David Letterman

[@janeltranmer2284]

Amazing from start to end. Watching both of them match wits was incredible. Thank you Dave and Barbara for showing this one again! Loved every minute of it.

[@saylefish8779]

Effortlessly charming as always.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

He is. And Hugh's quite nice, too.

[@jeffcubeta]

The charm is off the charts.

[@truerockstars9168]

He’s very funny! I actually lol’d several times.

[@dominicportelli7468]

He's a great value interviewee.

[@gomogo2000]

What a delightful interview! Letterman has finally found his match.

[@ROMVS]

Not one Letterman's best interviews, glad Hugh had quick repartees

[@Sawlon]

No, Hugh Grant is not dead, but there was a New York Times article in 1930 about a man named Hugh Grant who died at the age of 81. The article also mentioned that he built large sections of several railroads in Canada.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

There's quite a lot of Hugh Grants who are dead. Most of them, in fact.

[@lexkanyima2195]

​@TonyEnglandUK you think?

[@TonyEnglandUK]

@@lexkanyima2195 Why yes, yes I do.

[@blueskysailing]

Great interview with Hugh Grant and Dave.👍

[@gibbons7047]

@11:44 Talk Magazine September 1999, photographer David LaChapelle. However, I can't find the image anywhere.

[@tanjadamjanovic2995]

David trued to win in this match but Hugh was so, so funny and keep going 🎉🎉🎉 and He won 🤣 fair and square 😂😂, he is amazing 😍!

[@redfive5856]

14:10 for accent attempt.

[@immortaltyger1569]

Thanks!

[@GeorgeKing-ms1vy]

As I expected, that was awful.

[@lexkanyima2195]

It fits so well

[@lexkanyima2195]

​@GeorgeKing-ms1vy it's not that bad, he didn't have a dialect coach to speak fluently. So he didn't have more time.

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

Honestly, Hugh Grant is the only reason to view "Heretic" because he carried the film.

[@scottzema3103]

Nice hosting Mr. Letterman! It's always a pleasure watching you work despite the occasional joke slump, ----which we do all have, all undergo, that's natural, nothing to worry about. Which ones? Well...but you are a master of so-called small talk as well as bigger subjects, all very important. But, I am not so much of an 'Anglophobe' (matter of fact I am an 'Anglophile' - nice big words, huh?) that I expect this articulate English gentleman with his famous and fully charming native accent to have to try to meet the American standard of accents established by Gosh George Lindsay, or Jim Nabors or even well Don Rickles. He couldn't do it. That's like forcing Harry Belafonte to sing Abba in Swedish, or something.

[@joadbreslin5819]

I, for one, was impressed by Mr. Grant's attempt at an American accent. It was brief and only half-hearted, but sounded convincing to me.

[@scottzema3103]

@@joadbreslin5819 ​ @joadbreslin5819 Well, good for you. You think then that he is really an American? 😊

[@NotNotKenny]

Hugh Grant and Sade.I would have loved to be an audience member for the taping of that show.

[@lwaliz]

Hugh is soo attractive!

[@gomerhodge]

So?

[@gomerhodge]

So?

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

according to google... as of 11/20/24 830 am west coast time.. he is still alive.

[@MDoddio]

Whew.

[@blessingsoutlaw]

TY. There was concern…

[@truerockstars9168]

Saved me a Google search.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

Google still thinks Scarborough Fair was written by Paul Simon, it isn't a very reliable way to get information

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

@@TonyEnglandUK good time to pick a fight with Paul Simon fans... I guess...?

[@dollarsaurus01]

God I forgot how bad Letterman was about cutting people off while they’re talking

[@vori18]

You can't be charged with smuggling for buying a watch in France and not declaring it when entering England . Just need to pay a fine at most

[@Cerph]

14:03- (for those of you, wanting to hear this)

[@KungEMuller]

Wow! I can't believe that Hugh Grant was able to get back on track after being in trouble in the 90s. Dave should have been more prepared for his Late Show visit.

[@neen42]

Oh, i can believe it.

[@KungEMuller]

@neen42 Why can you believe it?

[@matureyoungman]

Dave has such a dry, puritanical midwestern sense of humour. Colbert is a sad approximation. Although I do like Colbert.

[@KaninTuzi]

If you like Colbert, you may want to go see a doctor

[@matureyoungman]

@@KaninTuzi his demeanour and sense of humour. i am more conservative than he

[@KaninTuzi]

@@matureyoungman His demeanor is narcissistic and his sense of humor is basic. It gets extra painful when an actually funny person goes on his show and he shoots down any riff, so as to not be outshined. That, and of course the incessant political grandstanding.

[@NathanMullikin]

RIP 😢

[@joadbreslin5819]

Reports of his death are greatly exaggerated.

[@joceery]

wait a minute is he talking about his wife here?

[@vori18]

182 pounds for a man of 5"11 is pretty good

[@surbhiparkhi1119]

[@brunosix6794]

Accent ?

[@nrjdohhg5]

He had a clearly supportive woman, but apparently it isn't enough for them (unfortunately)... Good thing he put his life together and became this grumpy old man we all turned into.

[@brunosix6794]

15 minutes and no accent !! Scam !!

[@salemkid1979]

R.I.P. Hugh, you will be remembered for all time!

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

hes still alive

[@NathanMullikin]

Thoughts and prayers

[@joadbreslin5819]

May he rest in peace for some time after the long press junket he is currently partaking in.
