Recently, with the popularity of "Wonka", many netizens have discovered a "pupil shock" thing.
The green-haired, white-eyebrowed "little orange man" in the film turned out to be a generation of male god Hugh Grant?!
After reading the comparison chart, I didn't know for a moment whose opening method went wrong......
It is no exaggeration to say that when the name Hugh Grant is mentioned, netizens who are keen on watching romance movies will immediately light up the radar beep-
He is the clumsy and funny young prime minister in the Christmas movie "Love Actually" that he never gets tired of watching;
is also the bookstore owner who falls in love with a big star in "Notting Hill" and has a shy personality;
is Daniel Cliffor, a playboy who is cynical, cheats on the female protagonist to be a junior, and fights with the male protagonist like a "primary school chicken" in "BJ's Single Diary";
It is also a beautiful man who can make people drown in his blue eyes and fall into his gentle smile.
He debuted for more than 40 years, and there are still netizens who want to sleep with his uncle.
But I have to say that the real Hugh Grant is not as pure as he looks.
Hugh Grant was born in 1960 into a family of British military officers.
His father, a former captain, ran a carpet factory after leaving the army, and his mother, a French and music teacher, taught Hugh Grant to speak fluently in the "Oxford dialect."
Hugh Grant, who has been a top student since he was a child, took a scholarship to enter Latimer, a top high school in the UK.
After graduating, he entered Oxford University on a scholarship and obtained a BA in English with distinction.
Such a high-achieving student is famous for "having fun" during college.
He joined the Pierce Garveston Society, a club known for its "debauchery and decadence."
At the same time, Hugh Grant, who had played a female role in the high school drama club, also continued to join the Oxford Drama Society out of interest.
Later, in order to chase girls, he participated in "Oxford Love" produced by the Oxford University Film Foundation.
In this performance, Hugh was taken by the showbiz agent at a glance and brought into the industry.
It's a pity that Hugh, who has no connections and won't fight for the role, was soon released.
To make a living, he swept toilets, worked as a waiter, wrote advertising copy, and wrote comedy sketches for TV shows......
Many years later, Hugh Grant would "remember the bittersweet memories" of this time: "When I was a waiter, I got a lot of tips because I was very good at twisting my butt. ”
In addition to doing odd jobs, he also formed a comedy sketch troupe with his friends.
Unexpectedly, the small troupe with only a few people was not only a big hit at the Edinburgh Music Festival, but also a BBC program.
This time also allowed Hugh Grant to hone his unique acting skills and lay the foundation for a future comedy career.
The screenwriter who has collaborated with Hugh on classic comedy romance films such as "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "BJ's Single Diary", "Love Actually" and "Notting Hill" once praised Hugh Grant:
"He was able to accurately grasp the rhythm of each joke. ”
It was this skill that allowed Hugh Grant to dominate almost the entire romantic comedy genre from the mid-'90s to the early millennium.
But also because of his repeated role as a bachelor who is not good at words, he was criticized for his single performance and couldn't get out of his comfort zone.
Hugh Grant also admitted: "Every decision I make can be wrong. ”
"I should have made the interesting decision to try something different. But what I did was repeat the almost identical performance 17 times in a row. ”
With the fall of romantic comedies, Hugh Grant entered a state of semi-retirement.
It was also then that he began to be a father and gave birth to 5 children in a row.
And his own love life is like a copy of the peerless scumbag in "BJ's Single Diary".
Hugh also laughed at himself: "No one knows scumbags better than me." ”
Hugh Grant's most famous relationship experience is a 13-year relationship with beautiful actress Elizabeth Hurley.
The two of them got together in 1987 because of filming, and once contributed a fairy red carpet CP picture:
But just after 8 years of dating, Hugh Grant was arrested on the spot for soliciting prostitutes.
This scandal has attracted widespread attention from the European and American media, and the prison photos of "Scum Xiu" have been circulated all over the streets, and almost made the upcoming starring movie "Nine Months" withdrawn.
After a public apology, Hugh Grant was fined $1,180 and ordered to complete an AIDS education program.
And just when everyone was asking for the big scumbag, Elizabeth Hurley chose to forgive him.
They then talked for another 5 years, and finally broke up.
However, they were friends when they said goodbye.
After their respective families were married, he became the godfather of her eldest son, and she became the godmother of his eldest daughter.
The two also worked as neighbors for a time......
This kind of emotional entanglement is too complicated, so that the viewer can only have the feeling of "respecting the fate of others".
What's even harder to say is that Hugh Grant can still come up with new ideas.
After he and Elizabeth Hurley separated, Hugh Grant was revealed to have attended some private parties several times.
He does not shy away from often looking for someone to date, and even once said that he could not accept marriage, thinking that it was impossible to be loyal to one person for decades.
But the most sensational thing has to be in 2012, when 52-year-old Hugh Grant was caught cheating on his girlfriend's legs while she was pregnant.
The predecessor was pregnant in the same year, and the delivery period was only 3 months away.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately refreshed the onlookers' perception of open sexual relationships.
It's just that this kind of Shura-like love triangle did not make the three parties tear the sky dark, and the chickens flew and the dogs jumped.
After the birth of the third child, Hugh Grant and his ex ended peacefully.
In 2018, he slapped himself in the face and entered into marriage with his regular girlfriend and Swedish TV producer Anna, who gave birth to 3 children.
Hugh Grant, who has now raised 5 children, has become a loving father who talks about his children.
wants to raise a baby well, so that the "scum Xiu", who always finds an excuse to avoid acting and has half retired from the circle, chose to go back to the mountain to film.
Then, this scumbag uncle patted and patted it, and slowly corrected his acting skills.
In 2016, Hugh Grant collaborated with Aunt May in "Out-of-Tune Diva", which opened the acting chapter of "Literary Recovery".
In it, he plays the role of a husband who loves his wife very much and sings for his wife, but secretly finds a junior to sleep.
And Uncle Hugh contributed what was called the "best performance of his career", allowing him to return to the awards season after more than ten years.
Later, he was approached by Paul King, the director of "Paddington Bear 2", and was invited to play an outdated and narcissistic villain based on Hugh Grant himself.
This shot made the director "Xiu Blow".
Hugh Grant laughed when he heard this: "You're weird." ”

Paul King praised Uncle Hugh's comedic skills, believing that he could not only shake the burden to the fullest without making people play, but even acted better than the script.
After the movie was released, the villain played by Uncle Hugh also received high praise, and was also named "British Cai Guoqing" by domestic netizens.
The excellent actors are impressive.
So 6 years later, when Paul King needed to find an actor for the humorous and intelligent Opalepa in "Wonka", the first thing that came to mind was Hugh Grant.
"There's a contempt, superiority and irony to the character, and only one actor in my mind can show that kind of humor without being smug. ”
"He's the funniest and meanest shit I've ever seen. ”
So, the director wrote another letter to Uncle Hugh, writing: "You are really good at playing the old ham ...... out of breath"
Hugh Grant smiled after watching it, and played his part honestly.
After watching the premiere of "Wonka", he also took the opportunity to show the world his "funny and mean" side.
first complained about his appearance-
"Now I am as ugly as a cigarette, my gray hair is like the ash of a cigarette, and my reddened face is like a burning part. ”
complain about his own drama again-
Moderator: Why did you take on the role of "Little Orange Man"?
Hugh: "My career is at the stage where I specialize in playing weirdos, evil villains, psychopaths, weirdos, perverts...... Now it's the turn of the Opalepa people again. ”
Just a few days ago, Drew Barrymore, who once starred in "K Song Lover" with Hugh Grant, asked Uncle Hugh:
What do you think of the term "literary resurgence" and the reasons why he chose to transform.
The 63-year-old Uncle Hugh said: "I am now old, fat and ugly, and I am not suitable for romantic comedies. ”
"But it's good, aging has given me more interesting things. ”
Not having the opportunity to lie flat and perform homogenized performances made Hugh Grant feel fulfilled from his work and improved his acting skills.
The peaks and loops are enough to describe every change in Uncle Hugh's career.
His 63-year life is no less than a biographical blockbuster.
Handsome, humorous, misanthropic, scumbag, all keywords.
There are so many elements, and there are constant explosions throughout the whole process, and if you really shoot it, you will win an Oscar.
To borrow a phrase from a netizen: Hugh is really an amazing man.
