Didn't see much of the Grant programme. The Niven one before it was good, though.

I've got to admit that I have enjoyed all of the films I've seen him in.

I agree with woodgnome about seeing him in takashi miike flick.

Bearing in mind that I'm not a fan of remakes (I really hate them) I would like to see him take Jackkie Chan's role in

Not sure who'd be good as his brother though.

yes woodgnome has got it spot on with Hugh Grant, he is acting but you would not realise it, playing himself must be so hard to do in front of the camera, with regard to David Niven, seems he had quite a life, I was always under the impression that he was Scottish but this biography proves me wrong:

He was good in 'Bitter Moon' with Peter Coyote, a Polanski film I think, check it out it,s worth it just to see the girls (Kristin Scott Thomas, Emmanuelle Seigner) in lesbo action at the end, and Emmanuelle,s many stripping and showing her arse scenes....fantastic..

Of course, the 'it must be so hard to make it look so easy' theory only comes into play once you've dismissed the notion that they really do find it easy (and as if they'd admit it, too). The only way Grant will push himself now is if US audiences want him to (regardless of age), and - like Carrey and Sandler - he seems to have become his own genre - you know what you're getting before you've bought the ticket. Here's hoping for a Punch Drunk Love then, for his own sake.
