Hugh Grant was one of those actors who began his acting career in the early 1980s and dominated the '90s and early 2000s which allowed him to earn a Golden Globe for his services but now at the age of 57-years-old, the English actor is enjoying the fruits of his labor and has stepped away from the limelight but still actively works from time to time. Let it be known, Grant has starred in a plethora of movies like About a Boy, Bridget Jones's Diary, Maurice, Nine Months, The Englishman, and Cloud Atlantis.
Grant is also another entertainment personality who favors the aesthetic of Oscar Wilde a la Stephen Fry. Wilde's journey and rise to prominence ended in tragedy as we mentioned previously that after becoming a highly-popularized playwright and personality he was forced to do two years of hard labor in prison and spent the rest of alone in destitute. Fortunately, for Grant, he probably won't have such a tragic ending to his legacy.
