Hugh John Mungo Grant - is an English actor and film producer.
British actor Hugh Grant pleaded no contest today to lewd conduct.
- Hugh John Mungo Grant (born 9 September 1960) is an English actor and film producer. He has received a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA, and an Honorary César. His movies have earned more than $2.4 billion from 25 theatrical releases worldwide.
- He was fined $1,180 and was placed on 2 years probation. Grant was arrested last month when police found him in his car, engaging in oral sex with a Hollywood prostitute. In addition to the fine, Grant will attend an AIDS education program. He was not present in court today.
- Hugh Grant took the talk show hot seat July 10, speaking publicly for the first time after his monumentally publicized arrest on lewd conduct charges last month. In answer to those charges, he told Jay Leno, "I think you know in life what's a good thing to do and what's a bad thing, and I did a bad thing..and there you have it."
- Ironically, two days before his arrest, Grant joked in an interview with CNN that he and his on-screen nemesis in "Nine Months," Tom Arnold, often end up in tabloid trouble.
- But if the public has been forgiving, will the tabloid press be so also? No way, says Daily News Gossip Columnist George Rush. "The American public may have forgiven him," said Rush. "But I don't think Elizabeth has, and until she takes him into her bed, we'll be on his case."
- Hugh Grant was the toast of Tinseltown until he was hit by a scandal after his encounter with a Hollywood prostitute, but now he has been embraced by U.S. audiences because of the stylish way he handled this crisis.
- Unlike Leona Helmsley, Grant did not refuse interviews, nor did he defiantly cancel appearances like Michael Jackson. Instead, he apologized on shows like "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and CNN's "Larry King Live." The gist? "I'm very sorry," Hugh simply said.
