Hugh Grant's Candid Remarks About Ex-Girlfriends After Elizabeth Hurley Revelation.

The actor teamed up with Nicholas Hoult from About A Boy for an unexpected interview.

Hugh Grant recently opened up about his past relationships, just a few days after his ex, Elizabeth Hurley, mentioned that they’ve lost touch. The 64-year-old actor, famous for his classic charm, seemed to throw a little shade at his exes while reminiscing about his earlier days.

During a new interview with his About A Boy co-star Nicholas Hoult with Variety, dad-of-five Hugh opened up about his experiences on set and shared some wisdom on navigating the complexities of filming.

"The older I get, as the years roll by with filming, keeping everyone calm is 90% of the battle, particularly actors I think. Just keep them calm, keep them loose," he said.

"I've had a lot of high-maintenance girlfriends in the past, who used to get photographed by very famous fashion photographers.

"And you notice the common denominator in the really famous fashion photographers was how easy the whole thing was."

Elizabeth, 59, recently admitted that she and her ex have drifted apart. Still, they managed to stay good friends after their friendly split in 2000. The actress also mentioned that their bond played a significant role in supporting her during a crucial time in her life.

Last week at the Bazaar At Work summit in London, Elizabeth shared her thoughts

"I was with my ex, Hugh Grant, so it happened to both of us at the same time. Like me, he'd also worked a lot, and thought he was doing pretty well, until Four Weddings and a Funeral came out and suddenly it was completely different – he was a phenomenon.

"The film was a massive success, and everything changed. But there was two of us and I think that massively helped. When you’re suddenly thrust into the spotlight, your lives aren't set up for it."

She continued: "You don't have any protection. It was alarming. The press was much ruder back in the 90s and 2000s than it is now. I truly believe that people aren't allowed to be as rude as they were then.

“ I think it gives you a bond when you sort of go to the trenches with someone. I mean, he's married with five children. I hardly ever see him, but he's still very close to my heart."

Elizabeth and Hugh's love story kicked off in 1987 when they crossed paths on the set of the Spanish flick Remando al Viento. Hugh took on the role of Lord Byron, while Elizabeth played Claire Clairmont, Byron's ex.

They were together for 13 years before deciding to go their separate ways in 2000, but they did so on good terms. Even after their breakup, they kept a solid friendship, with Hugh becoming the godfather to Elizabeth's son, Damian, who is now 22, and Elizabeth stepping in as the godmother to one of Hugh's five kids.

In a 2017 chat with Jonathan Ross, Elizabeth opened up about her friendship with him He lives next door to me and he's godfather to my son and I'm godmother to one of his children.

"We've been apart longer than we were together. We were together for 13 years and then we've been best friends for 15."

Hugh chatted about their relationship when he was on Watch What Happens Live back in 2015. When the host asked him why things didn’t pan out for them, he responded: "Well, the funny thing is, it did. She's still my absolute best friend. She's my number one person I call in a crisis."

Hugh Grant's candid reflections on his past relationships, including his enduring friendship with Elizabeth Hurley, highlight his ability to navigate both personal and professional challenges with grace. His comments, shared during a recent interview with co-star Nicholas Hoult, reveal a deep appreciation for calmness and balance, qualities that extend beyond the film set.
