He has always had a great fondness for Maurice. He initially auditioned for James Ivory for the movie A Room With A View as Cecil, a very bumbling rather comedic role, but Ivory saw the talent in Grant. He was the first actor cast in the role and Ivory didn't even reconsider anyone else.
I worked with Hugh on one occasion about 7-8 years ago, and what struck me was his focus on his craft but at the same time being able to appreciate every single person on set. He’s a good guy!
It's a masterpiece as is the book. Every person, queer or not, ought to watch that film. Moving, beautifully shot, heartbreaking, hopeful... it broke me.
A totally brilliant interview! You had Hugh intrigued and engaged, and you really knew his filmography and asked really fascinating questions. A new subscriber here!!!
I could listen to Hugh talk all day, and LOVED hearing about working with Ken Russell on Lair of the White Worm. That's a bit of a cult film for me and my friends.
The balls on her to even mention "The Lair of the White Worm". Hugh has refused to talk about that movie for decades because apparently cheesy horror was beneath him. His face right after she says the title speaks volumes. :D
no love for "bitter moon"? i thought he was excellent in that film. he was great in "cloud atlas". the post-credit scene in "paddington 2".... PERFECT!
*The time available for conducting these interviews is extremely short. It's not as if the journalist has the flexibility to ask about each title in Hugh Grant's filmography. At various points, you can clearly see her being pressured by the countdown, like when she asks Hugh to respond briefly about the fight scene in "Bridget Jones's Diary".*
@@CineResenhas I understand. but they keep bringing those mediocres ones imho. they could bring up sth quite interesing and transgressive. at least Ken's picture was mentioned. again Bitter Moon was such a great find for me and I would love if he ever talk about despite Mr Polanski is such a persona non grata today.
Love this interview, honestly love Hugh grant! And good job to Mia, she did a great job to keep the atmosphere of the interview, to be as lighthearted and chilled as possible, and all about films! Love it.
I'd say more a perpetual curmudgeon. Which is part of his charm. He's always been a tad embarrassed that he does this for a living; it was never his goal, began by accident.
This is honestly the most relaxed, none sarcastic, not stressed and kind I've seen him in years. Well done!
Apparently, said by him, being a father has softened him and made him more relaxed.

Him describing Tarantino as this sweaty person pushing through the crowd is hilarious

And i believe all the rumours about him being a prick are wrong. I think he's just funny & straight forward guy 😂👍
@cattogirl999 I think he just doesn't suffer fools gladly - if someone acts like a dick he treats them like a dick.
He's really a good guy masquerading as a curmudgeon 🤣
What a great interview! He sounded the most relaxed I’ve heard in a long time. Also I’m here to interview you is a great dodge! Lol
Hugh Grant is watchable in whatever he is in
When he mentioned Rotten Tomatoes and she quickly interjects with Letterboxd LMAO
Keeping it on brand 😂
well, RT is corrupt. They repeatedly protect movie studios from criticism.
He´s so charismatic. He just IS.
My favorite of his will always be Four Weddings and a Funeral. I watch it whenever I'm in need of a good laugh.
"This sweaty person pushed his way through the crowd to me... And it was Quentin Tarantino" 😂 Oh Hugh, we love you.
I know.. that was hilarious 😂
Paddington 2 is a family classic and Hugh is brilliant in it.
Maurice is such an underrated queer movie. It's SO good.
Was massive in 1980s art house theatres, along with My Beautiful Launderette.
I ❤❤❤ that film!

maurice mentioned in 2024 😭😭😭

He sounds so happy in this interview ❤
Yes, true! Because for a change the interviewer was asking about all the meaty roles he had enacted.
have had a crush on him since the 1980s. still disappointed we didn't end up together.
I think you dodged a bit of a bullet. I think Hugh Grant would probably agree. 😂
@@Sharpe1502I can hear him saying so 😂
The balls on her to even mention "The Lair of the White Worm". Hugh has refused to talk about that movie for decades because apparently cheesy horror was beneath him. His face right after she says the title speaks volumes. :D
I think he's gotten over that by now, he seems more chill theses days
Young Hugh Grant and young Peter Capaldi, very unsung horror film IMO.
He tells some good funny tales about it on his episode of WTF, with Marc Maron. Well worth a listen.
Love that film!
Amazing interview Mia!
The man who went up a hill and came down a mountain. Music and lyrics. The rewrite. The gentlemen. The undoing. He’s so good and diverse.
He is so him in HERETIC and it's great. Never thought I'd be a fan back when he was in those Romcoms. But I really like his fully evolved charisma.
I could listen to his voice all day❤
It's a wonderful voice!
maurice mention! i love grant so much, incredible artist
I was not aware this man was still capable of enjoying interviews this much!
He is such a well articulated person
That was a good interview - keep up the good work!
love hearing him talk about maurice
Music and Lyrics is amazing, it makes me so happy that Tarantino loves it too!
The most thoroughly entertaining actor to listen to and I fully agree about old Hollywood musicals but also science fiction!
He was so good in Florence Foster Jenkins
Finally, someone asks about Maurice and Lair of The White Worm! Thank you
Very good interview!
I love love that you talk about Maurice! Maurice BROKE ME. Absolutely broke me and I read the book and it broke me a second time!
The gentleman was his best role, he killed it!
Paddington 2
"White Mischief" is an excellent film in which Hugh Grant played a crucial role.
Always loved Hugh and watched most of his films ❤great interview 😊
I also saw Music and Lyrics on a plane They seem to put Hugh Grant romantic comedies on inflight entertainment quite often.
In between each side overtly punting their product, this had some good moments.
no love for "bitter moon"? i thought he was excellent in that film. he was great in "cloud atlas". the post-credit scene in "paddington 2".... PERFECT!
Hugh Grant was the most beautiful on "MAURICE" 😍💕
My favourite Film with Hugh is About a boy, I can keep on watching it and not get bored.
he's an icon, he's a legend, and he is the moment
Glad to see him breaking his image
YOU GO MIAAAAA!!!!!! SLAYYY
I really enjoyed him in that film with meryl steep. Foster Jenkins. And in remains of the day.
‘An Awfully Big Adventure’ is the name of a Hugh Grant movie personified.
MAURICE MENTIONED LETS GOOOO
great interview! good for letterboxd
Fun interview but does it really need that omnipresent music?
That was distracting.
Whats with the background music??
More videos like this, please!
Thought that was Katie Puckrick then remembered it’s not 1994 any more 😭
No About A Boy?
I had the same thought!
That was a VERY good film, I thought -- just about his best!
I thought that was his best film!
About a Boy will always be my favorite film of his 💗
Also loved Impromptu...beautiful film
Me, too!
clives hair and mustache representing his journey into the closet and fear of his own queerness oh maurice 1987 how loved you are
An Awfully Big Adventure Shoutout, yes!
An Awfully Big Adventure is brilliant as a film and as a novel. Its on youtube and stars Alan Rickman as well as Hugh :)
shame they didnt his best movie and most underrated "Bitter Moon" (1992)

@@mr.jack0039 he's not persona non grata with me. i love his films and i forgive him for what he's done. he's really sorry for what he did.
He has completely changed, nowadays he makes very difficult original roles😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 in comperison to before
Mia’s the fucking best
omg yesss maurice
Love this interview, honestly love Hugh grant! And good job to Mia, she did a great job to keep the atmosphere of the interview, to be as lighthearted and chilled as possible, and all about films! Love it.
Where is Bitter Moon?
yeah that's the one I wanted to hear about, not bridget jones or love actaully etc.
❤❤❤❤❤
Mike Hoskings is probably watching this somewhere and pretending to be Hugh again
How is there no mention of Notting Hill?!
Because that’s not what he’s proud of. He does not relish being a leading rom com actor.
@s.hopkins4490 I doubt that. He talks about it in a similar Vanity Fair video.
Paging Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Channing Tatum for their elder statesman, when they get around to a musical.
So THAT'S what Gal Pacino looks like
is that brat pitt???????
@sparkyy260 yeah!
Hugh is improving with age…..he seems more real less like a confined schoolboy…
Dungeons & Dragons have him his big break.
Yesterday Hugh presented finaly Heretic in Berlin and signed few autographs. He is amazing!!!

Como no le preguntaste por cuatro bodas y un funeral?
LOVE AN AWFULLY BIG ADVENTURE
Less music
I am the one whi gave 5 stars in Maurice
he's so
Can you turn off the annoying background music?
Could this woman be any more insincere?
that woman is irritating
This sweaty person …. ok Hugh that’s why this movie failed massively to recreate a Tarantino-esque scene using popular music.
Hugh grant is a great actor. Unfortunately there have been many instances where he treated people poorly on set. Hope he changes that about him
Evidence?
Those are just fuckin rumours
Hugh Grant seems to have been turned into a bit of a diva. He sounds like he doesn't have much patience for some aspects of the movie business.
Eh, that’s true for any line of work.
@@miguelrosado6348 That's why we love him
He has always been like that.
I'd say more a perpetual curmudgeon. Which is part of his charm.
He's always been a tad embarrassed that he does this for a living; it was never his goal, began by accident.
