26 years later, Hugh Grant revealed why he cheated on Elizabeth Hurley with a prostitute
The 60-year-old actor spoke for the second time about the episode in which he was arrested for having s-x with a prostitute in his car in Los Angeles in 1995.
The year was 1995 and Hugh Grant had not yet filmed his greatest success in Hollywood (A Place Called Notting Hill would arrive in 1999) and yet he was already on everyone's lips for the premiere of his film Nine Months.
At that time he was part of a scandal because he was arrested having s-x in his high-end car in an area of Los Angeles when he was still in a relationship with actress Elizabeth Hurley.
Now, 26 years later, the actor took the subject with humor again and in an interview with Marc Maron's WTF podcast, he revealed that he sought the services of the s-x worker Divine Brown to mitigate the frustration caused by the imminent premiere of Nine Months, film that he shared with Julianne Moore.
“The movie was about to come out and I had a bad feeling about it. I went to see a screening. The entire cast was brilliant, but my performance was so atrocious that I was not in a good mood,” said the 60-year-old actor.
But beyond the scandal and the arrest, Grant took it cheap because his performance and the film were liked in the industry: "In the end the film did well at the box office, in fact, I think it did quite well and that's all that really mattered." Hollywood cares."
Nine Months, in which the late Robin Williams also starred, has grossed hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide.
At the time, for the infraction, Grant was sentenced to pay a fine of a thousand dollars and to attend an educational program on HIV and had to come out and justify himself: “Last night I did something completely crazy. I have hurt the people I love and embarrassed the people I work with. For both things, I'm very sorry."
For her part, the s-x worker Divine Brown knew how to take advantage of the scandal and, according to La Nación, earned millions of dollars talking about it.
For his part, his marriage to Elizabeth Hurley lasted several more years until they finally divorced in 2000 after 13 years of relationship.
