Hugh Grant Rewatches Love Actually, Notting Hill, Heretic & More | Vanity Fair

[@KatieForSureDude]

People criticize Grant for being too dry or rigid, but he's also very self-aware - and that's MUCH more than can be said for most celebrities.

[@saltycrunch]

The people who do that are just Americans who don't understand British dry deadpan humor. They can be safely ignored.

[@petergivenbless900]

Hugh, or Cary?

[@bmf1949]

Also, self- deprecating… a very English trait!

[@alisterfolson]

LOVED that seemingly one-camera shot scene in Notting Hill of him walking thru the seasons

[@alisterfolson]

Also, his turn(s) in Cloud Atlas

[@Simona_midulcevida]

Yes!! I love that scene as well. ❤

[@ofthenearfuture]

He is a very witty and smart person, and clearly a hard working and talented actor, but I think what makes him so great is how honest he is and how deeply he understands the human condition

[@JessicaQuatromoni]

Have loved Hugh Grant since Elizabeth Hurley and the safety pin dress! ❤😂🎉

[@PassiveAgressive319]

6:35 “the villain is a washed up actor who is incredibly vain and no one likes and we thought of you” - bloody priceless👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@raindrops21_9]

The thing I've noticed about Hugh that I haven't really seen in any other actor that's been around for a while, is growth not just as an actor but as a person. He's always been erudite and witty, but he's just more comfortable with himself now. I think that's helped his acting and given him range. It's lovely to see.

[@catasandoval8490]

Indeed! He's gotten more and more interesting with age, too! I didn't care too much for him in his earlier acting years 😂

[@bmf1949]

Agree, he didn’t really seem to act much in those romcom films, but has branched out in recent years ( he’s great in Paddington 2, and the tv series A very English Scandal for example)

[@seamslatasha3598]

Yes, he seems happier.

[@danielhill4245]

He's brilliantly self-deprecating, sarcastic and funny. His roles in the last few years have been superb. I can't wait to see Heretic.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Sarcasm is a very British defence mechanism. I use it frequently.

[@ayaanfarah-boston9697]

Saw it today, brilliant!!

[@tigermunky]

SHOTS FIRED; Colin Firth is a shellfish! Grant is going through a renaissance

[@kfw9257]

Rematch incoming!

[@chamomilepecchiari7494]

I love him! I love how grumpy he is, he doesn’t fake to be someone else and is aware of how annoying he can be

[@dgl1012]

He’s now actually one of the most unique actors around. I love this phase of Hugh Grant ! He seems to get better and deeper after every movie !

[@nguyenlan4223]

Hugh Grant would be someone I would love to sit with for hours listening to him. Adore his honesty and devotion for his works! Also he ages like fine wine, he looks better at his age than i thought. Always support you sir!

[@dannyb763]

Pros: 19 minutes of Hugh talking :) Cons: None of those minutes discussing About A Boy :(

[@Tina-gq2ky]

Agreed!!!!

[@bigstunna2049]

My favorite performance by him

[@awkwardmonkee]

My favourite Hugh Grant movie!

[@Nelly34e]

About A Boy is a classic

[@sopyleecrypt6899]

So it turns out Hugh is an incredibly hard-working and driven performer. Every performance is accompanied by deep study, research, and thought. Huge respect for this artist.

[@pgrahamstrong]

Love that he is so candid. Would have liked to have seen his take on "Four Weddings and a Funeral" as well as "About a Boy".

[@francis2fly]

I love that fight scene in Bridget Jones. It is so realistic. LOL

[@edithlazenby5839]

He has become a more compelling because of his roles...and a brilliant actor..he is just so honest about his craft...that takes alot knowledge about your characters to do that...just brilliant. Love his interviews.

[@karenlindley.9756]

What a lovely interview with him! Really enjoyed seeing his dry humour and how he works on a script, character, his view on emotions etc……❤

[@geoffreystout5814]

What a fascinating commentary by Hugh Grant! He really is an outstanding actor! The research and preparation he puts into each acting role is phenomenal!

[@constipatedlecher]

Should have done About A Boy. One of my favorites ever!

[@HecticLlama]

Definitely one of his best!

[@luislozano6073]

Growing up with Hugh Grant movies I haven’t realized how such a great actor he is. I have just realized that I love all the pictures of him that I have watch. Love him he’s the best

[@andresbarriga5305]

I think eve he did not know and found out later. Lucky as.

[@justthegoodstuff4670]

Him with Harrison ford are the most I don't give a f*** about anything guys😂

[@ppop_unvrs]

Music and Lyrics should be included on the list.

[@malinlongva]

"pop goes my heart "

[@takinghugh]

what a movie!

[@tex8411]

"A chiropractor had to be summoned to the set" 🤣🤣🤣

[@EleventhKyber]

i wish they'd discussed maurice but i also loved how he just randomly shared phoenix buchanan lore lmao

[@sunflowermyeyes9758]

Love how he doesn’t rake himself too seriously and is very self aware - sublime humor, aging so well, and just refreshingly charming while not trying to be ❤

[@EmersonChang-kk7lh]

I just have so much respect for him. He takes all of his roles so seriously and thoughtfully.

[@margaretpratt5963]

I find it fascinating to learn how an actor prepares for a role. Hugh Grant just gets better and more interesting.

[@teritreiger7662]

WOW... "the pain of love". How freakin' true is that statement? How F-ing wonderful is this re-watch?

[@benw4409]

I really hope he gets an Oscar nomination for Heretic - normally career noms are cringe but he'd deserve it 100%.

[@rowanstrang8072]

Wtf

[@AliceHope78]

I simply ADORE him

[@zlamelie]

Thanks VF, this was properly delightful.

[@Cstylinn]

Love hear him talking in so much detail! Where is part 2!!!🎉

[@mikakot5939]

Firth&Grant are my favourite English actors❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@NYCEllieMonster]

"Colin is very weak." 😅😅😅

[@MelissaHash]

He is sooo evil about dear Colin I believe he (Hugh) is just jelly that CF has an Oscar!

[@takinghugh]

We love his beef with Colin haha

[@MelissaHash]

@@takinghugh well it is pretty amusing!

[@lexkanyima2195]

He was never at all

[@Dreamer55]

I’m extremely impressed by how down to earth Hugh grant is here .bravo ❤👏👏👏👏

[@Jean_Genie]

Love the Colin Firth slander 😂😂

[@Juniorverse]

The fact that Hugh doesn’t view and comment about one of his most memorable roles in the materpiece “Maurice” is criminal.

[@Jake-d8d]

Paddington 2 is one of the best films ever made and it it without question the best performance of Hugh's career.

[@jmg7467]

There are very very few men who are like a fine wine when it comes to aging, but you Mr Grant are one of the first on that list.

[@BellaRainDrops]

He's not wrong about Love Actually it is totally about the pain of love

[@mikethemountie4959]

Humble and calculating. Grant’s a great actor.

[@gio_i22]

“hehehe” -Hugh Grant

[@kmwwright9429]

Love the dry humor. Not everyone gets. Great actor.

[@katarzynakugiel7773]

Great Actor, great person, very Smart which i think is much unappreciated these days. He’s great!

[@gusttaz74]

Love to see some of his biographies for the characters someday!

[@imogen.magenta]

Love Hugh Grant. When is he getting his lifetime achievement Oscar! - His track record is stunning. His romantic leads were all gentlemen - it wasn’t that they didn’t have balls - they were real gentlemen. Can’t surpass him. Love love love 🧡😚😍

[@zulickj]

Paddington 2 isn't just a kids film. Ifa absolutely a family film! Cant wait for Paddington 3.

[@kro1977]

How could you not show his dancing scene in Love Actually???

[@MissGelly]

Because he absolutely loathes it. He probably insisted it not be shown.

[@EvieBallardioo]

Not Hugh Grant calling Craig Revel Horwood “slightly camp”😂

[@sweetlady7317]

missing "Music & Lyrics" tho 😢 utterly charming 80s POP star 🤩

[@benjaminbjrklund743]

the most honest guy in hollywood

[@nejuw]

love Hugh more and more as the years go on.

[@tjgh2764]

everything i notice is how amazing i feel and how amazing of an person i am

[@rachelwarrilow4672]

Proper national treasure

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

He isnt perfect thought, got caught doing something he shouldnt in Hollywood once.

[@Miss_Toots]

​@@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784who says national treasures should be perfect? In fact, who on earth IS perfect??

[@gramarye_cottage]

I’ve seen most of his movies and I think he’s an absolute genius actor 🙌

[@_-LK-_]

Brilliant 😁 Just wish he'd talk about his role in the Gentleman

[@storiesofsarahtonin]

Bummed Two Weeks' Notice wasn't included in this.

[@dondgamer]

We really need a sequel to Notting Hill or Love Actually.

[@meandi5956]

I think of christmas when I see Hugh Grant Bridget Jones, Love Actually, About A Boy, Paddington.

[@tjgh2764]

no im very gratefull, thats why i always make use of 100% of my luck and have the absolut greatest time every single second and am just happy at all times

[@CaterinaRivanor]

He's simply brilliant ❤❤❤❤

Hugh Grant, you are still handsome and cool.

[@joannaingold6979]

"he's... virtually... a piece of shellfish"

[@domgee6014]

Hugh Grant could still get it 😍

[@switch-chan1487]

4:43 Still the greatest fight scene in history 😂

[@1northsparrow246]

What about White Mischief? That fantastic film would not have been as fabulous without Hugh.

[@gnostic268]

The VHS machine and tapes for every film is so vintage in 2024

Aww definitely one of my favorites

[@Miss_Toots]

[@Blue-ub8ld]

A very English scandal super underrated. Highly recommend it for Ben whishaw performance

[@fairdose]

Hugh Grant has always been a fantastic comedic character actor but he got pigeon-holed as the foppish, romantic lead early in his career. Now that he's older and he's in the "I don't giving a flying f*ck" phase of his career, he is easily poised to be this generation's version of Walter Matthau and I'm totally here for it.

[@penkast1605]

I do love you, Hugh Grant! You are a brilliant actor!

[@tashamiel]

Hugh Grant is my spirit animal.

[@glazdarklee1683]

I kinda love Hugh Grant again now.

[@tjgh2764]

means im completly empty always and i rly like that

[@jadeevans0722]

話し方や言葉の選び方が本当に好きです。ちょっとクスッと笑ってしまいます。 今回もColin is very weak.で笑いました。 ラブコメ連発していた頃から20年経ちましたが、声が昔と変わらずかっこいいですねえ。 もうすぐクリスマスなので、今年もラブ・アクチュアリーを観る時期ですね。

[@kris115]

Brilliant actor, such an interesting person

[@heyLu.1970]

Hugh and Robert Pattinson have the same energy, the humor and suffering because of their past character choices 😂

[@clareflattery8720]

He’s so real 😂

[@stoopidvideoz]

Pity they didn't include About A Boy, one of my favourite films.

[@jennaschuman7297]

Dear lord please let Hugh do Hot Ones 🙏

[@Gannu_Maharaj]

This guy is the funniest guy around 😂😂😂 Huge grant ❤

[@rosmelaineventura8857]

We love him!!!

[@danielhill4245]

He'd make a great Bond baddie.

[@christermyrberg3661]

He should've talked about Nine Months

[@hunterotails2015]

I was thinking the same thing along with Mickey Blue Eyes. But maybe they thought they had enough rom coms 😂

[@tjgh2764]

for me i go in relationship in an together forever basis and i dont want to worry about what the partner is doing ever

[@RosabelleLopez]

Great actor and so gorgeous🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@ofthenearfuture]

8:50 We are always drawn to the baddie, because we are fundamentally evil as human beings... recent events, checks out

[@big33bug89]

Heretic was well made and suspenseful.

This includes the second time I have heard Hugh use the word "trebly" in an interview in the past few days. Interesting.

[@hunterotails2015]

No Mickey Blue Eyes!?

The original, the template, the legend.
