"Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Bridget Jones", "Notting Hill" and "A Boss to Fall in Love With". For years, Hugh Grant was primarily known for romantic comedies. He is now turning his back on this genre.
He was "too old, fat and ugly" for rom coms, he once said in a conversation with his former film partner Drew Barrymore.
For a few years now, the Brit has been fighting against his RomCom image. He now embodies narcissists, eccentrics and even murderers.
