Considered one of the most effortless and good-looking actors the world has ever seen, Hugh Grant came into the limelight with his Golden Globe and BAFTA-winning performance in the romantic comedy movie ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ (1994) but it was through his performance in ‘Maurice’ (1987) Grant made a mark in the world of cinema. ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ came to him at a point when he had reportedly almost given up acting. Had the script of the movie not come to him, we wouldn’t have gotten to see him charm us in movies like ‘Sense And Sensibility’ (1995), ‘Notting Hill’ (1999), ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ (2001), ‘About A Boy’ (2002), ‘Two Weeks Notice’ (2002), ‘Love Actually’ (2003), ‘Music and Lyrics’ (2007), ‘Florence Foster Jenkins’ (2016), ‘Paddington 2’ (2017), and many more.
While Grant began his career as the quintessential romantic lead, he has smoothly transitioned into a more dramatic actor with a variety of roles to his name. These include pop star Alex Fletcher in ‘Music and Lyrics,’ the tender St. Clair Bayfield in ‘Florence Foster Jenkins,’ Edward Ferrars in ‘Sense and Sensibility’ and the master of disguise Phoenix Buchanan in ‘Paddington 2’. If you, too, have been mesmerized by his performances, check out his upcoming projects!
