Hugh Grant’s hilarious appearance at the BAFTAs 2024

[@MikeMJPMUNCH]

I love how Hugh Grant plays this like he was forced to do it but you get the sense it was also his idea.

[@janetclaireSays]

I love how Hugh Grant was able to ditch the bumbling nice guy persona for grumpy elder as he ages! And he’s better looking than ever.

[@FBWL-u1r]

I never cared much for the movies he used to play in. Sappy romcoms aren't really my thing. But my God I adore since I saw him cursing and cussing like mad in The Gentlemen 😂

[@cbglassiii9362]

​@@FBWL-u1r, he was bloody great in that film. ❤

[@Jettypilelegs]

@@FBWL-u1rcame her to say this! He was genuinely menacing.

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

From what I know of Hugh Grant, I think he was always a grumpy elder at heart! 😂Getting older just allowed him to embrace it.

[@janetclaireSays]

@@SwiftFoxProductions You're probably right!

[@Voyager759]

Hugh is one of those rare actors (at least for now) that embraces aging gracefully! And I commend him for that!

[@triplejazzmusicisall1883]

Absolutely. Not like Madonna - that is one vile celebrity.

[@nprichard1]

Go, yeah!

[@angier4748]

Hugh Grant is like one of those guys that's always in the news for negative things but he always comes out on top and you have to love him anyway

[@randolfo1265]

His negative reports are nothing compared to what goes on these days.

[@pbode1]

True Comedian timing! He kills this. I think only Judy Dench could outdo him on the posh understated "frankly they were far too long"

[@chrishyde1216]

As a comic performance this is brilliant. The timing, facial expressions, tone and body language all perfect.

[@paulhornsey-pennell1931]

this man is the modern day cary grant (except for the one "ahem" indiscretion) ... he is genuinely charming, self effacing, articulate and always appropriate in his way. it would also seem he is only just beginning to hit his stride by playing some genuinely engaging characters and quietly stealing the show with his versatility. modest, courteous and charming ... and humble. what a winning combination ... hence why he is genuinely one of the UK's treasures. encore hugh, encore!

[@susannatuttapanna2010]

I am loving second season Hugh. He's clearly having loads of fun tearing down his old floppy haired heartthrob toff image, and engaging with politics, challenging acting roles and keeping his kids (and us) entertained while he's at it. Best PM we never had 💪

[@missjoshemmett]

He has been around for so long, he just doesn't give a wit. He will show up at your movie and do drama, music, dancing, idiotic characters and anything else the directors ask him to do and pull it perfectly. At this point, he has kicked pride aside and lives with his beautiful accent, adorable dimples and the script. Nothing embarrasses him. He is, indeed, a national treasure!

[@kelleyramsey2642]

He was always a good actor....but he was also a good person.... A thoroughly well raised English Gentleman,and how do we know that...he was engaged to liz Hurley when he was discovered on sunset boulevard with his wee wee receiving a paid professional's oral ministrations, and she didn't badmouth him and stood by him through the short hysteria that followed in the prudish american press...in the UK no one gave a shit. Of course she didn't remain with him but then that would be normal...but the love and affection she and other exes have , is a reflection of his character. A lot like the likes of winona ryder and kate moss talking about J.Depp
