Wow. A perfect example of someone who gets better looking with age.💕💕💕

[navyryder]

Love this guy, great actor and not fake!!!

[anjomedhat]

Hugh was so cute, when he replied to his fan “I Love You” 🥰

Hugh Grant just became more attractive just by sharing that he was a good toilet cleaner...I have been married for 30+years to someone who's really good at cooking, less so at cleaning...but I think I'll keep him. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.

[seamus]

He was fantastic in Sense and Sensibility.

[toobasaurus]

I loved Hugh is his early rom-coms, but his role in Guy Ritchie's 'The Gentleman'... was just FN sensational.

More Hugh Grant as the antagonist in films. He does dastardly so well.

[geoffreyfeinberg]

Hugh Grant is a good actor. He's matured from Rom-Coms to playing more villainous roles.

[forumman]

Hugh Grant is the most British looking person ever

[vickimcburney]

Hugh is so funny. He's had such a colorful life. He considers himself a middle class brit.❤ 😂❤

[bobgenghiskhan]

More intelligent questions than from the red carpet...just saying

[Maliilse]

That dry laugh when Stephen teased him for working on radio adverts after graduating from Oxford...

[RazKino]

Oh dear lord Hugh Grant is a fellow toilet

I always thought I was being weird about cleaning other people's toilets when I deemed them unacceptable, plus telling the host that they are welcome for me cleaning their toilets for them...

Thank you Hugh. I finally feel understood. Better understood than after a Colbert Questionert even 😊

[ginniesoh]

Pretty good French from Hugh…. I think he speaks the language 😮

[NewMessage]

I have a distinct mental image of Hugh peeking in the cupboard under the sink, rather than in the medicine cabinet when he goes to dinner parties, and muttering "Toilet Duck?... Bloody amateurs."

[yurielcundangan]

Hugh: I need hugs
Also him: GRUNTS

Colbert: Ayo, Pause!

[Kermit_T_Frog]

Somebody explain to me how ANYBODY can forget an accidental run in with Stephen Colbert in a tiny little restaurant in southern France.

[joemagnus]

Omg...Hugh Grant used to work in radio advertising!? He's the real Arthur Dent!

[ambre]

J’ai adoré l’interview disant que personne ne voulait affronter les tabloïds britanniques et que même la police avait peur 😂😂😂😂

[lordofthereels]

He should play John Constantine or The Doctor. I know he was up for the later before Eccleston and I really want to see that casting.
