Hugh Grant
FILMOGRAPHY (ONLY REVIEWED ENTRIES)
It is paradoxical that it was Hugh Grant's uniquely unworldly arch-Britishness that made him an international leading man and sex symbol in the 1990s. After appearing in aristocratic roles such as Maurice (1987) and Impromptu (1991), Grant had made a name for himself in Britain, and Roman Polanski further raised his profile by casting him as the rigid, sexually repressed opposite Peter Coyote in Bitter Moon. Grant's boyish good looks and delicate manner made him a popular lead at a time when the male ideal (fronted by the likes of Tom Hanks, amongst others) was becoming more sensitive and metropolitan throughout the 1990s. After starring in the worldwide box office success Four Weddings and a Funeral, Grant was able to pick and choose roles in Hollywood and in Britain. Since then, Grant has kept himself busy in the business by adding a touch of self-irony and always managing to find a refreshing comedic streak in every character.
