Hugh Grant Jokes He’s Too ‘Old and Fat’ to Still Star in Rom-Coms
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor admitted that he thinks he is now too old to star in anymore rom-coms:
“I’ve gotten too old and ugly and fat to do them anymore, so now I’ve done other things and I’ve got marginally less self-hatred.”
Hugh joked that he couldn't complain about the money it brought him:
'I was being paid tons of money. I was very lucky. And most of those romantic comedies I can look squarely in the face - one or two are shockers, but on the whole I can look them in the face and people like them. And I am a big believer that our job is to entertain. '
Hugh was in a very good mood during the interview and light-heartedly joked that even though most fans believe he’s the nice guy from his movies, “I’m vile … really.”
