Hugh Grant is known for playing romantic roles in his movies, but he has added some serious characters to his repertoire too. He looks dapper in a black tie and suit. However, who would have thought that this handsome guy would be doing roles like Oompa-Loompa in ‘Wonka‘?
Keeping up with the new tradition, Hugh is going to play the role of a weird orange cat in the new movie ‘Unfrosted: The Pop Tart Story’, which is directed by Jerry Seinfeld. Grant does find it different to wear an orange suit, but it’s refreshing for him. Here’s what he has to say about the role.
Hugh Grant Is In His Experimental Phase
Hugh Grant is trying new roles in his career and we all are here for it. The actor is playing the role of Tony the Tiger in the comedy movie, ‘Unfrosted: The Pop Tart Story’. The actor 63, while talking to People, said “These are sort of things that come to me now. Weird orange creatures, but I seem to doing them.”
The cast of the movie includes Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer, and James Marsden. Hugh appreciated the cast as good company and pretty fun to be around. He said, “They’re fun between takes and then they’re fun during takes.”
Further, Grant also mentioned that he did enjoy the role as it was very different from what he has portrayed on screen. He continued, “I am very good at finding reasons to hate my job and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed all those people. I thought it was a fun role. It was bloody hot in that costume, but otherwise, I enjoyed it.”
