Hugh Grant Critiques His 'Notting Hill' Role as "Despicable" and Spineless
Hugh Grant recently expressed his disdain for his character William Thacker in the 1999 rom-com 'Notting Hill,' describing him as "despicable" and lacking courage. Grant criticized a scene where his character fails to protect Julia Roberts' character from paparazzi, reflecting on how his real-life partners have questioned his character's actions. Despite his success in romantic comedies, Grant often finds watching his performances excruciating, though he acknowledges the films themselves are often well-made.
