It would be a lie to say anything else but having said that, in my infinite masochism and miserablism, I scour the internet for negatives. I look through RottenTomatoes for green splats, and when I read them I&#8217;m like &#8216;Yeah, that&#8217;s right&#8230;'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Bridget Jones&#8217; Diary&#8217; star explained that he has &#8220;no idea&#8221; why he puts himself through such a practice, other than he just feels naturally drawn to the &#8220;darker side&#8221; of most things in life.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know, we&#8217;re just drawn to the negative side of life, or the dark side of life, or at least I am. I think people are sunnier this side of the Atlantic, actually!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHugh made his debut in the 1982 film &#8216;Privileged&#8217; but it wasn&#8217;t until the 1994 comedy &#8216;Four Weddings and a Funeral&#8217; was released that his Hollywood career really took off, but noted that acting had always been a part of his life and he must have been an &#8220;unbearable&#8221; child.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I think I was unbearable, I couldn&#8217;t be me ever as a kid just continually doing silly voices trying to make everyone laugh. I think it drove them all nuts, everyone, schoolteachers as well. Mr Hammond used to say &#8216;And where is the real Hugh Grant?&#8217; We&#8217;re still trying to figure that one out!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/hugh-grant-scours-internet-negative-reviews-film-performances-1409216.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 November 2024 Hugh Grant &#8220;scours the internet&#8221; for negative reviews of his performances.
