As Billy Connolly said ‘the fact that someone WANTS to be a politician should automatically ban them from ever being one…’

He is absolutely irresistible! I do hope he reads all these posts.BTW! My older son looks just like him.

He definitely has appeal. One is drawn to his personality.

There are a group of guys who watch the World Cup in silence. Their reaction when England gets a goal and they have to celebrate wordlessly, is the damned funniest thing ever.

It’s not so much the newspapers but the lobby groups who are paying the journalists.

Ex-gay lover or gay ex-lover? I'm guessing the later.

A few years ago there was a tragic case of two little girls that went missing in the UK in the Liverpool area.After a huge investigation and police searching every inch of the ground and water in the area the worst fears were beginning to be the most likely outcome, until there was a glimpse of hope when there was some activity on the phone of one of the girls, the families were desperately holding on to the possibility that they were still alive….
In the end a man was arrested and the bodies of the girls recovered it was heartbreaking.
During the investigation the police discovered that the girls were already dead when the phone was activated, the evidence lead them to a private investigator who had hacked the phone on behalf of a scandal Sunday paper " the news of the world" owned by the Australian Murdoch group.
The same family that owns sky sports and several news agencies and TV and radio stations around the world.
The high court forced the paper to close and caused a lot of tension and demands for tougher laws and penalties for breaching journalistic ethics…. lots of celebrities and even the royal family were victims of telephone hacking

I wish folks would heed what he’s saying about politicians and the news outlets. Scary as hell!
But! I also think he’s incredibly charming!

He forgot to say that the lover was trying to blackmail him for £30! He would have been so much better off just paying the 30 pounds! 😂😂

Oh Seth, no. You are charming and handsome in your own way, but Hugh Grant is gorgeous and charming, even still. You don't resemble each other physically. And that's okay.

Hugh is a nice guy. He seems at ease here bantering with the host. Nice to see that instead of tense and ugly questions. This was relaxed and refreshing.

Hugh Grant looks and appears MUCH more substantial and is actually now good looking. I notice it happens for some men between the late 40s – mid 60s. Then, well…

Louise Lombard once thought I was a dead ringer for Hugh when she sat next to me in Beaton’s in Richmond.
