As a long-time admirer of Hugh Grant’s work, I must say that his recent reflections on his character, Will Thacker, from Notting Hill have caught my attention. It’s fascinating to see an actor, who has been part of some of the most iconic romantic comedies, criticizing his own performance.
Hugh Grant finds fault with the character he played in Notting Hill, William ‘Will’ Thacker. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the actor criticized this character from the 1999 romantic comedy as contemptible, explaining that he found certain aspects of the character distasteful.
In the comfort of my own home, after savoring a few drinks, when that show appears on screen, I can’t help but ponder, ‘If only my character had more backbone!’ This thought crossed my mind during an interview, where I voiced my concerns about a specific scene featuring my character and Anna Scott, played by the incredible Julia Roberts.
In the movie, there’s a sequence where she’s at my home, and photographers arrive at the entrance, they even dared to ring the bell. At that moment, I believe I simply stepped aside and opened the door for her, which was truly regrettable, I must say.
In a revelation, Grant admitted that even his spouse had questioned him about the scene where Roberts’ character confronted the relentless paparazzi alone. All he could offer as an explanation was that it was scripted that way. Reflecting on his character, he commented, “I truly find him reprehensible.
In the interview, Grant also praised Julia Roberts’ acting skills, calling her great at emoting.
Notting Hill is a romantic comedy film written by Richard Curtis. It tells the story of a love affair between Grant’s character, a bookstore owner, and Roberts’ character, a famous American actress. The movie, which received three Golden Globe Award nominations in 2000, including nods for both leads, is often considered one of the greatest romantic comedies ever made.
In the latest movie “Heretic,” Grant takes on a new role in the horror genre, portraying a reserved Englishman whose actions put the lives of two visiting missionaries at risk. During a 2024 TIFF interview, when questioned about his recent interest in playing villainous roles, the 64-year-old actor jokingly explained that as he grows older and less attractive, he’s no longer being offered leading man roles.
Although Grant has recently shone in roles that are morally ambiguous or even villainous, he’s not entirely leaving behind the romantic-comedy realm. He’ll be returning to play Daniel Cleaver once more in the forthcoming Bridget Jones film, slated for release next year.
