I met him in 2003 without having a clue who he was. He was charming, self-deprecating, brutally candid about his career and true to his word when I eventually asked him for a small favor. My son was 8 and he was the spitting image of Hugh. He loved About A Boy and wanted an autograph. He was on cloud nine and thrilled that Mr. Grant had actually spoken to me about him.Hugh was kind enough to send a collection of his films a handwritten note and a signed photo. He's truly one of the kindest people I've ever met without being sappy or ingenuous. Also riotously funny and he really does have a touch of the awkward characters that he's so well known for. A genuinely nice man.

Did you read the Sense and Sensibility Diaries? They were written by Emma Thompson during her time adapting and filming and were published together with the screenplay. And it's absolutely hilarious - no wonder, it's Emma after all. But yes, there are many descriptions of conversations like Ang telling them it was boring or saying to Emma "Don't look so old.". One of my favourites was when they shot the kiss scene for Edward and Elinor that was deleted later and Emma writes they shot it on a bridge and in the background, there were two swans that came floating in on the lake as if on cue, but Ang just said "Get rid of them. Too romantic." I would very much recommend it for everyone that loves Emma and/or the movie or is simply interested in the process of adapting a book to film.

Hugh Grant has been a favourite since childhood. I’ve seen a lot of his movies over the years & loved his performances. There’s something authentic about his acting. I also happen to love Hugh’s very British sensibility which is a major part of his charm. Always enjoy his interviews. That self deprecating sarcasm always entertains.

Hugh Grant is kind of different now... His intelligence and his sassy-charming style were always obvious to me, but now he seems to be an unprecedented blend of world/self criticism, sarcasm, dark/realistic humour and wisdom. It's like he's reached the top of himself in his freeiest form... I love that. I was such a teenage fangirl back in the late 90's when he used to get all these similar roles I was digging for. I wish I could have met him now instead of when I was ruled by puberty hormones

He is not down to earth. I've been told by several people who've met him, he is an absolute primadonna, and giving everyone around him a hard time. On screen he acts different, but then get fooled by this. It's fully understandable if fans or paparazzi are bugging him, but that is not the case here. Jon Stewart even said it was his worst guest ever.
