Hugh attacked - Jan 05
Hugh Grant stung by jellyfish in Barbados. The Brit actor was holidaying in Barbados with his new love, Jemima Khan, (see our photos) when he was stung by a jellyfish who, we can only surmise, wasn’t a fan of Richard Curtis’ work. No stranger to unwanted attention, Hugh apparently took the sting in his stride.

Mrs Grant? - October 04

Jemima has also been spilling the beans on their relationship, telling friends that she has never been happier and that she wants the world to know how in love she is.

Hugh’s cleaning problem - August 04
Hugh Grant has revealed that he used to drink cleaning products as a child.

The actor made the bizarre revelation in a recent interview, stating "I used to drink a lot of Parazone, which you used to clean lavatories with. That was a serious worry for my parents." Hugh admitted that he was lucky not to have become seriously ill as a result. We wonder if he’s pulling our leg.

Jemima loves Hugh - August 04
Jemima Goldsmith is rumoured to be dating Hugh Grant.

Jemima has been spotted out and about with Hugh and according to those in the know this is the real thing. A source close to the actor told press that it had taken Hugh a long time to find someone who matched up to his ex-girlfriend, Liz Hurley, but it seems that he has found someone who compares to Liz in every way. "She’s posh, beautiful, intelligent and very witty - just like Liz." The source commented, also pointing out that these comparisons were no coincidence. Lets just hope that Hugh won’t mess this one up then.

Golf or girls? - March 04
Hugh Grant is so taken with playing golf that he has no time left for a relationship.

He was asked by TV Movie magazine whether he was with anyone at the moment, but Hugh replied ’No, I play golf.’ "And I’m quite embarrassed to say I don’t think of anything else."

Maybe he just likes practicing his swing?

Hugh is ’cockahoop!’ - 15/11/03
Is Hugh Grant the only man fighting to save the battle of the English Language? He regularly includes words in his speech that have all but disappeared within the mists of time - he described his feelings after winning an award for ’excellence in film’, as ’cockahoop’.

He was in Los Angeles to receive the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for ’excellence in film’ and was presented with it by his Two Weeks Notice co-star Sandra Bullock

Hugh said the award was "very nice and unusual for me, I don’t really get many prizes and when I do I’m cockahoop".

Good for Hugh - but even better - do you know any obscure words that need saving? I am sure Hugh would revive them for you - I think famished should make a come back personally - much better than saying you are merely hungry!
