Hugh Grant takes drastic action to prevent wife from watching one of his films
Share:
While most of us would probably happily watch Hugh Grant’s entire filmography while quoting all the iconic lines, there’s one movie he’d rather forget about. In fact, he’s gone to extreme measures to prevent his own wife from watching it. We know and adore him from Maurice (1987), Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), Notting Hill (1999), Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001), and Love Actually (2003), to name just a few.

However, when a journalist recently mentioned his 1995 project Nine Months, the rom-com veteran had a visceral reaction of disgust. During an interview with Variety, Jenelle Riley noted that Hugh, 64, ‘screamed as if startled’ when she brought up the movie.

Explaining his horrified response, Hugh said: ‘Let me stress, everyone involved with that film, with the exception of me, was brilliant and talented. ‘It was just me that let it down.’. ‘My wife wants to watch it, but I’ve forbidden her,’ he added.

‘I’ve put parental controls on the screen so that you can’t get it.’. Hugh married Swedish television producer Anna Elisabet Eberstein, 41, in 2018, so while their wedding vows implore them to be beside one another ‘in sickness and in health,’ we guess no one made any promises regarding dodgy romance flicks.

In Nine Months, Hugh stars opposite Julianne Moore, with the cast also comprising Jeff Goldblum and the late Robin Williams. Playing a character that became somewhat synonymous with Hugh in the years following, he stars as Samuel Faulkner, a child psychologist who gets the jitters and becomes a commitment-phobe upon learning his girlfriend, Rebecca Taylor, is pregnant.
