Hugh GrantHugh Grant has repeatedly spoken about being in what he’s affectionately described as the “freak show” stage of his career, which has seen him bounding from one eccentric character to the next in the last few years.Among them have been a religion-obsessed recluse in the horror film Heretic, an eccentric thespian in Paddington 2 and, infamously, an Oompa Loompa in the movie musical Wonka.Throughout it all, though, Hugh says he’s been choosy about the roles that he selects, turning down anything he thinks has been “insufficient in quality or independence allowed to the filmmakers”.And that’s why he was so bemused when one of his more recent movies underperformed at the box office.
