In a surprising confession, Hugh Grant has opened up about his infamous affair with Divine Brown back in 1995, shedding light on the reasons behind his actions.
The 60-year-old actor recently appeared on Marc Maron's “WTF” podcast, where he delved into the circumstances that led to his arrest alongside the alleged s=x worker near Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.
Grant pointed out that the imminent release of his debut Hollywood film, “Nine Months,” played a significant role in his lapse in judgment.
Reflecting on that period, he expressed how seeing the movie before its premiere had a profound impact on his state of mind.
Recalling the experience, Grant candidly admitted feeling inadequate about his performance in the romantic comedy, which also featured A-listers Julianne Moore and Robin Williams.
The actor confessed to having doubts about his acting abilities, which ultimately clouded his judgment and led to the regrettable incident with Brown.
Admitting his disappointment in himself, Grant disclosed that his self-criticism culminated in a series of events that ended in a moment of indiscretion in the car with Brown.
Despite the success of the film and the talent of his co-stars, Grant's personal turmoil overshadowed any achievements, pushing him to make choices he later regretted.
During the incident, Grant reportedly paid Brown for a s–ual act, resulting in legal consequences for both parties.
While Grant faced a fine and mandatory attendance at an AIDS education program, Brown was sentenced to prison for violating her probation.
Surprisingly, reports later revealed that Brown capitalized on the scandal, earning a substantial sum from the ensuing publicity.
In a public statement following the incident, Grant expressed deep remorse for his actions, acknowledging the pain he caused to loved ones and colleagues.
Despite the turbulent episode, Grant and Hurley maintained their relationship until 2000, with the pair remaining close friends to this day.
Grant's bond with Hurley extends to their shared connection as he serves as the godfather to her son, Damian, cementing their enduring friendship and mutual respect.
