Hugh Grant, the "British lover" who has swept audiences with her handsome appearance, melancholy eyes, elegant temperament and standard British accent, recently offered to make a sequel to the romantic comedy Notting Hill.
It's just that the once handsome teenager is no longer old. Hugh Grant is 60 years old. Recalling the classic with Julia Roberts, he joked that he wanted to show what happened after Notting Hill.
"To truly prove the happy ending of this movie is a terrible lie. I hope to play a terrible divorce with Julia: expensive lawyers, tearful children, tormented hearts... I would love to make a movie like this. ”
Hugh Grant said he was indeed interested in returning to the role filmed in 1999, but only to dispel some of the "unrealistic hopes" of romantic relationships and return to reality.
He himself was a well-known wanderer when he was young, and it was not until the age of 58 that he finally tried to stabilize and accepted marriage for the first time; he worked as an actor for more than 30 years, and it was only in recent years that he admitted that he regretted that he had taken a light "shortcut".
Hugh Grant admits he could have done better.
"Every decision I make can be wrong." Hugh Grant told the media, "After 1994's Four Weddings and One Funeral, the world was like my oyster, doing whatever I wanted and dreaming of. I should make some fun decisions and do something different. But I didn't, and I repeated myself about 17 times. ”
"I accepted everything, and the worse the situation, the sooner I accepted compromise."
The 1990s and 2000s were when Hugh Grant was in full swing, starring in series of romantic light comedies such as "Concussion Proposal", "Notting Hill", "BJ's Single Diary" and so on.
"I took a lot of money and I was lucky." He said, "Most of these romantic dramas I can directly go on, and people like it." I firmly believe that our work is entertainment, without having to experiment with some strange metaphysical experience, I see us as a group of cooperative craftsmen. ”
Hugh Grant even admits that he knows that some of the movies he chooses suck, but he still "really enjoys" making them, like 1988's Rowing With the Wind.
That film was made in Spain with British actors, but the director didn't speak English. Hugh Grant described his idea as "just going to enjoy three months of good times and flirting with the actress who plays Claire Claremont." ”
But now, everything has changed. Just as he wouldn't have thought of the end of more than 20 years of entanglement with Elizabeth Holly.
"I'm old, ugly and fat, and I can't shoot anymore." Grant asserts that people don't expect to see him in romantic romance movies anymore.
He admits that romantic movies do mean a lot to him — that is, over the course of a long time, he's finally learned how to get away from it, rather than returning to temptation so easily.
