Hugh Grant Says There’s A Reason Why Audiences Hate Actors

Hugh is currently promoting his new film, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre. While speaking to JOE, he said that there are some audiences out there who love seeing actors fail for one reason or another.

He put it this way, “I think people, audiences, like to see actors mocked, even gently as it is in this film. Because basically they hate us and I understand that.”

If that weren’t enough, Hugh also said that he has some films that he made in the past that he’s absolutely embarrassed over. In fact, he said that there are some titles that he would love to see removed from his official IMDb page.

Speaking to James Corden on The Late Late Show, Hugh said he would love to erase some films from his past. He said, “The thing is, I would happily shred my CV because I specialized in being bad for decades really. As you know, as someone in the industry, it’s one thing for me to say that I was bad, but I can’t bring down the rest of the wonderful colleagues who worked with me on any film by saying it was bad, so that’s my dilemma.”

One movie in particular that he didn’t like was The Lady And The Highwayman.” Hugh explained, “Mid-Eighties, film made for television. I’m a highwayman, I’m meant to be sexy, low-budget, bad wig, bad hat. I look like Deputy Dawg.
