Anyone else watching Hugh Grant at the Leveson inquiry?

[headfairy]

I'm so bloody star struck it's ridiculous, but I'm fascinated :o

He's just referred to a conversation he'd had with one of the lawyers earlier as being "back stage". Bless him, he's such a luvvie!

Just me then?

It's quite an eye opener. Apparently he's only given 2 interviews to British newspapers in the past 17 years. The rest were either bought in from foreign publications or completely made up

He looks spookily like Gryff Rhys Jones

I am. Well, dh just turned it on.

I rather like Hugh Grant, I think.

Im undecided on how i feel about him

I rather like him too.

I watched the first 45 minutes or so earlier, and found the attitude of the QC really bizarre.

Is the QC the beardy glasses chap? He's weird. He seems board. And louche.

Bored.

The barrister bloke is really pissing me off TBH. If I was Hugh I'd be telling him to take his hand away from his mouth, stand up straight and speak more clearly.

crazynanna now you mention it, he does doesn't he?

Agree that barrister just looks slovenly, stand up straight man!

I think the QC is trying to be cool in the presence of coolness

I'm warming to him. he seems to have spent the first forty or so years of his life being a bit of a twerp, but now he's grown up into quite a nice man. He's coming across well, - very articulate and informed.

I agree about the 'cool' barrister crazynanna

how he is now seems at complete odds to the whole divine brown incident

I loved his line "You slag! I want your milk!"

And the pretty lawyer woman sat behind the barrister is going to cringe when she sees the coverage because she looks totally starstruck

I know...she's literally draping herself over her chair

Kurri he does come across as quite intelligent and well spoken doesn't he

Yes he does headfairy, I was sad when his evidence finished impressed

I didnt realise his full name was Hugh John Mungo Grant.

I thought all the bumbling and stuttering was just an act, but thats actually how he is.

Mincepie he's proper posh... the naice accent isn't fake

Sorry, I meant the HG you see in films, all foppish and posh was an act, but I realise having seen him now that it isnt.

It makes me very happy because now the HG I drool over in films is actually real :o

I knew what you meant... :o No act, proper posh. I bet he's got some yellow cords somewhere, and a dark green padded jacket

what was he talking about then?

I like him A LOT

ssd He was talking about phone hacking and press intrusion.
