British actor of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill — photos, style and news
Hugh John Mungo Grant (born 9 September 1960) is a British actor and film producer. He has received a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and an Honorary César. His films have earned more than US$2.4 billion from 25 theatrical releases worldwide. Grant achieved international stardom after appearing in Richard Curtis's successful Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). He used this breakthrough role as a frequent cinematic persona during the 1990s, delivering comic performances in mainstream films like Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) and Notting Hill (1999). By the turn of the 21st century, he had established himself as a leading man skilled with a satirical comic talent.
Apparel Search has selected Hugh Grant as a fashion celebrity.
Grant's record describes a career strategy few actors state so plainly: Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994 created a cinematic persona, and the persona was then used, deliberately and successfully, across a decade of mainstream comedy — Mickey Blue Eyes and Notting Hill closing the 1990s on the same terms. The second act bent the persona rather than abandoning it: the cad in Bridget Jones's Diary, About A Boy, Love Actually and American Dreamz kept the comic timing and sharpened the satire, until Cloud Atlas in 2012 let him play against type outright in multiple cameo roles.
