Hugh Grant [1] has had an incredibly rich career, gracing the big screen first as the bumbling leading love interest, then later as the handsome but mischievous cad. He's best known for his roles in rom-coms such as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Bridget Jones's Diary, and Love Actually [2]. Following his rom-com reign, the British actor focussed on his family [3] and made a foray into politics with the organisation Hacked Off.
Over the last few years, he's returned to the pop culture realm as Paddington's arch-nemesis Phoenix Buchanan and the sex-scandalized politician Jeremy Thorpe [4]. Soon, we'll get to see him reprise his beloved role from Four Weddings and a Funeral in NBC's Red Nose Day Special [5] on May 23. But if you can't get enough of this Brit, you'll be able to catch him on Netflix right now. Look ahead to see all of the Hugh Grant titles you can stream this very moment!
Music and Lyrics
In the rom-com [6] Music and Lyrics, Grant plays Alex Fletcher, the washed-out half of a formerly successful duo called PoP!, a clever spoof on Duran Duran and Wham! In order to create a song for the superstar Cora Corman (Haley Bennett), he teams up with his plant lady Sophie (Drew Barrymore [7]), a talented, yet diffident writer who produces the lyrics to his melodies. The sweet and hilarious music is written by Adam Schlesinger, who is known for being a founding member of Fountains of Wayne.
