| Biography of Hugh Grant |
Hugh John Mungo Grant (born September 9, 1960) is a famed Golden Globe-winning British actor and film producer. Grant achieved international stardom instantly after playing the alter ego of writer-director Richard Curtis in the sleeper hit Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994).[1] He used this breakthrough role as a frequent cinematic persona during the 1990s to deliver comic performances in popular films like Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) and Notting Hill (1999). With relatively sparse on-screen work as rogues and gentlemen, he established himself, by the turn of the 21st century, as an accomplished light comedian and prominent leading man. Since then he has expanded his oeuvre with critically acclaimed turns as a cad in Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), About A Boy (2002), and American Dreamz (2006).
Grant has been criticised by students of cinema for putting emphasis on nuanced mannerisms, the predictability of his movies, and his unwillingness to stretch as an actor.Within the film industry, he is cited as a movie star who approaches his roles like a character actor, with the ability to make acting look effortless.Hallmarks of his patented comic skills include a nonchalant touch of irony/sarcasm and studied physical mannerisms as well as his precisely-timed dialogue delivery and facial expressions.
Widespread media speculation about Grant's reportedly very strong personality and life off the big screen has often overshadowed his work as a thespian.Over years of fame, he has been identified in popular culture as a figure of charisma,charm,sharp tongue,and wit,who nonetheless is very vocal about his disrespect for the profession of acting and his disdain toward the culture of celebrity.He is equally infamous for his grumpiness, political incorrectness, hostilities with the media, and bad temper. Despite an oft-repeated claim that acting is not a true calling but just a job he fell into,the Oxford-educated Grant is referred in the media as one of Britain's best-known personalities.In a career spanning 20 years, Grant's movies have earned more than $2.4 billion from 25 theatrical releases worldwide. |
