Four Weddings and a Funeral cast now: Hugh Grant
Hugh cemented his fame playing Charles in Four Weddings and a Funeral. Since then, he’s become a bonafide romcom king, appearing in films such as Richard Curtis’ Bridget Jones’ Diary triolgy, Notting Hill and Love Actually.
The heart-throb, now 65, found himself in hot water in 1995 though, when he was arrested after being caught with sex worker, Divine Brown. At the time, he had been dating Elizabeth Hurley for more than a decade.
Hugh later claimed the scandal was down to his lack of confidence as an actor, and said he was “not in a good frame of mind” when he was caught in a compromising position with her in his car on Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard.
Speaking about Four Weddings, Hugh previously revealed that he thought the film would bomb. “It’s true that we were all sure we’d made a giant turkey till the film had its first previews. I was clearly wrong and the film changed my life,” he said.
He added: “It was the beginning of a happy friendship with Richard Curtis.”
