Hugh Grant’s complicated life: Playboy past with a family focus
For many years, British actor Hugh Grant had a reputation as a ladies' man and playboy. His popularity in romantic comedies made women swoon over him, especially since he often portrayed clumsy and sensitive men on screen. Meanwhile, in real life, two women were simultaneously pregnant by him. One of them is his wife today.
In the 90s, Grant dated several beautiful actresses. One of them was Elizabeth Hurley, whom he publicly humiliated when, in 1995, he was arrested for engaging in sexual activity with a prostitute in a car in Hollywood. The actor later confessed that he was very disappointed after watching his Hollywood debut in "Nine Months" and needed an outlet for his frustration. Hurley forgave him, and they eventually went their separate ways five years later, ending a 13-year relationship.
Hugh Grant: his children and lovers
In 2011, Grant met Tinglan Hong, who worked at a Chinese restaurant and was 19 years his junior. The infatuation was so strong that she gave birth to his first child. A year later, the actor became a father for the second time with another woman: Swedish television producer Anna Eberstein (also 19 years younger).
And three months after that, Tinglan Hong gave birth to his third child. This meant that both of Grant's partners were pregnant by him simultaneously. Ultimately, the British film star left Hong and chose the Swede, who forgave him of his infidelities. What's more, she gave birth to two more children for him. Today, Hugh Grant has five children, whom he raised with these two women. In interviews, he jokes that he is "too old for his children" (having become a father for the first time at 51) and now works to support them.
Hugh Grant: Marriage for a passport?
Eight years ago, Grant and Eberstein got married. A rumour circulated online suggesting that the actor decided to marry her to obtain a European passport by marrying a Swede. The rumours reached Grant, who took to Twitter to deny them.
Today, Grant appears to be a happy and settled man (with a second family "on the side"). He is currently promoting his new film, the horror "Heretic", which is receiving excellent reviews.
Other well-known Grant films include the Christmas classic "Love Actually" and romantic comedies such as "Two Weeks Notice", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", and the "Bridget Jones" series.
