Hugh Grant
Definition
A renowned British actor (born September 9, 1960) best known for starring in romantic comedies like Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), Notting Hill (1999), and Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), where he perfected the charming, flustered everyman archetype.
Iconic for his posh stammer, impeccable comic timing, and a career pivot to edgier roles in films like Paddington 2 (2017) and the horror flick Heretic (2024).
