Hugh Grant Labels ‘Notting Hill’ Character as ‘Despicable’ – But Why?

In a rather cheeky revelation, Hugh Grant has declared that he sees his character in the 1999 rom-com ‘Notting Hill’ as a ‘despicable’ figure. Playing the charmingly awkward bookshop owner William Thacker, Grant has fond memories sprinkled with a tinge of regret. It appears our floppy-haired heartthrob isn’t just out to win the heart of Julia Roberts’ character; he’s also critiquing his own performance and the moral fibre of his on-screen alter ego. Who knew that Hugh was also a self-appointed critic of early 2000s rom-com ethics? Perhaps next, he’ll take a good hard look at his ties and decide those are ‘despicable’ too!

‘Notting Hill’ is a classic romantic comedy that stormed theatres in the late ’90s, turning romantic ideals and bookshop fantasies into cinematic gold. Set amidst the iconic backdrop of London, Hugh Grant plays a humble bookseller whose life turns upside down when he meets a stunning Hollywood star, played by Julia Roberts. The film is celebrated for its charming wit, yet it seems even the legendary Grant has discovered a few hiccups in his character’s choices, turning picky critic on us decades later.

In a delightful twist, Hugh Grant’s candid self-reflection on his portrayal in ‘Notting Hill’ showcases that even the most beloved characters can have shady sides. While fans adore his awkward charm, Grant’s sharp eye for his past flaws reminds us that even romantic leads aren’t perfect.
