To think Hugh Grant looks really old now that he's a dad

Parenthood has sucked the life out of him. He should moisturise and drink more water.

Mygod, you're right. And you should see what's happened to Ricky Gervais!

Everything you have written about Hugh Grant could have been written about me ........... except I'm a mum

WhatsTheBuzz · 15/03/2013 23:38

yeah, maybe get surgery while he's at it...Hmm

WizardofOs · 15/03/2013 23:41

Well he is not a young man is he? It is probably nature rather than parenthood which is in fact making him look older.

willyoulistentome · 15/03/2013 23:42

Yes he does look a lot older recently. Didn't know he was a dad. When did that happen?

BOF · 15/03/2013 23:43

I think he looks old because he's old.

PoppyWearer · 15/03/2013 23:43

He's a dad twice over, same mum, so at least a year ago Grin

chickensaladagain · 15/03/2013 23:44

He is mid 50s!

timidviper · 15/03/2013 23:44

What's wrong with looking older? It's a natural thing to happen

Snazzynewyear · 15/03/2013 23:45

I think it's coincided with him actually getting properly old. Same with Clooney (except the dad thing, obvs)

willyoulisten I think between 1 and 2 years ago, a girlfriend of his for a few months found she was pregnant after they'd broken up. She lives in London and she and HG are on good terms but not a couple. Their daughter has a Chinese name I can't remember, I'm afraid (mother is of Chinese origin) but I think is also known as Matilda.

pictish · 15/03/2013 23:45

He's 52 or thereabouts. Give the guy a break!

Snazzynewyear · 15/03/2013 23:46

Poppy Really? I didn't know they had had another. Now I will have to google.

PoppyWearer · 15/03/2013 23:46

News flash, they have a son now too!

PoppyWearer · 15/03/2013 23:46

It was the boy what did it. My DH looked like he'd sipped from the eternal fountain of youth until DS came along. Now he looks like dried up prune.

Lol! My dh is prety craggy it must be said.

Snazzynewyear · 15/03/2013 23:50

OK, sorry it's the Daily Fail but here is the report of the new baby. Elder child is Tabitha not Matilda.

Yet Colin Firth has 3 sons and looks fit. But you can tell he moisturises.

Wikipedia says that he has a daughter called Tabitha, Chinese name Xiao Xi, and a son called Felix Chang.

No way!!! I wanted to call my children Felix and Tabitha but people laughed ans said they were cat's names.

pictish · 15/03/2013 23:57

They kind of are...but I quite like them both anyway.

willyoulistentome · 15/03/2013 23:58

My dh is about the same age as HG. ds2 told him the new Pope looked younger than him. He was a bit grouchy about it. He has raised 5 kids though.

BOF · 15/03/2013 23:58

Nothing wrong with looking old, or just your age. But I doubt he's been at the coal face of childcare (if I'm wrong, good for him, but it's part of life).

midastouch · 15/03/2013 23:58

He does seem to have aged rather a lot! He is far too old for me really but up till recently i wouldntn have said no Blush
