"Extremely English Scandal" brought a nomination not only Hugh Grant, but also his colleague Ben Wishow, with whom he played in the film "Adventures of Paddington 2". As it turned out, at one time, the grant was ridiculous for participating in this project, but it lasts long.
It seems I was on the Golden Globe. The leaders called me the star of the coming film "Adventures of Paddington 2". Later I showed me messages in Twitter, where people mocked me and wrote something like: "God, what did it come to what. Good Hugh. In a children's film about a bear ". In the case of Paddington, this is especially annoyed, because I am sincerely convinced that this is perhaps the best movie in which I ever shot,
- told Grant.
And indeed, the "Adventures of Paddington 2" were highly appreciated by critics and brought the creators of almost $ 230 million at a budget of 40 million. In the film Grant played Phoenix Buckinen, a narcissistic actor, which was lost to the former glory.
The director Paul King admitted in a conversation with the Vanity Fair, which initially considered only the candidacy Hugh: "It was pretty awkward, but we wrote to him in the letter:
We invented the role of a kind of vain old actor, whose best days behind, and immediately thought about you. " Fortunately, it seemed funny to him.
