Live webchat with Hugh Grant (!!!) about the Leveson report and press reform, Monday 10 December, 8pm

[JustineMumsnet]

We're delighted to announce that sleb-actor-turned-campaigner Hugh Grant (yes it's Hugh ) is joining us for a webchat tonight, Monday, December 10 at 8pm.

Hugh keen to talk to us about the Leveson report and press reform. As you probably know he's been a prominent member of Hacked Off, and before that was best known for his quintessential English gent roles in movies such as Four Weddings and a Funeral and Love Actually.

Hacked Off is an alliance of victims of press abuse, journalists, academics, lawyers and others who successfully campaigned for a public inquiry into the phone hacking scandal.

And now that the inquiry's been held (by Lord Leveson), Hacked Off wants all Leveson's recommendations for press reform implemented.

(This webchat is focused on Leveson, so we hope you'll understand that Hugh will prioritising Qs about that ahead of Qs about his career/personal life/choice of biscuits - although, if there's time, he will do his best to address a few of those too.)

So, join us and Hugh, online at 8pm tonight. If you can't make it then, you can post up advance questions on this thread.

LadyMary, you obv have not seen Hugh's MN film.
Crunchie stuffing in this house, and I promise to dress up like Nigella.

Hugh's MINE!!! Mwuhahaha!

I'm going to dress up...as me! I wouldn't want to be anyone else.

I would offer to take my clothes off but given the postnatal appearance I think this might have a counterintuitive effect on the poor chap.

You is well above yourself, innit. Everyone knows I am first in the mistletoe queue. Innit.

Hugh's already kissed me!

Well the next queue then.

Hugh, if you're reading this, you're still welcome to come for Christmas lunch. Don't worry if you're busy, just have fun!

I was dying to tell someone at work today that I had a question answered last night - by HUGH GRANT! But, it would mean outing myself so I can't do it. Damn.

I'll just need to get on with the t-shirt printing, and watch the puzzled looks I get when wearing it.

Imagine how I feel. Hugh grant gave me a kiss and wants to come to my house for Christmas Lunch! I doubt anyone will believe me.

I really like the little mumsnet video. I thought Hugh Grant came across as so much nicer, more natural and - yes, a lot younger- than he looked in his movies. His normal voice is so much nicer than the poshed up one he used for Hollywood. Wishing him a very happy Christmas. DD and I watch 'Love Actually' every Christmas, so I owe him many thanks for very happy memories while I curl up on the sofa with my daughter year after year.

LadyMary, we know . And I'm not jealous at all. Oh no

He could have left a little note at MNHQ which they can send to me, or something. {sobs}

Swoooooon i would just love to meet Hugh Grant in the flesh. He's a dish, a good English dish of boiled potatoes, boiled carrots, overdone roast beef and boiled plum pudding.

I can't believe I missed this!

I demand Hugh comes back one day very soon!
