Hugh Grant won a scholarship to Oxford, going up to New College in 1979. He studied English literature and graduated with 2:1 honours. After making his debut in the Oxford-financed Privileged, he dabbled in a variety of jobs, writing book reviews and working as assistant groundsman at Fulham Football Club. He had his own experience as a survivor of an unfortunate episode in his private life, which he managed to overcome thanks to having a pretty damn good outlook on life.[/expand]
With a distinguished media career spanning 20 years, Hugh Grant is one of Britain’s best known faces who has been equally entertaining on-screen as well as in real life, and had enough sense of humour to survive a media frenzy. His timing, his way of testing and savouring dialogue, and his obvious good looks, have made him in demand at prestigious international events.[/expand]
Arguably the most persuasive romantic comedy lead in several decades, Hugh Grant has a mastery of timing and effortless style.[/expand]
