Hugh John Mungo Grant (born September 9, 1960) is a Golden Globe-winning English actor.

He’s 47!

Grant was born in Hammersmith, London, England to Fynvola Susan MacLean, a teacher, and James Murray Grant, an aspiring artist and carpet salesman who ran a carpet firm.

He has an older brother, James. Grant’s Scottish great-great-grandfather, Dr. James Stewart, was an assistant to explorer David Livingstone and Grant is also related to William Drummond, 4th Viscount Strathallan.

Grant attended Wetherby School, Latymer Upper School, and – on scholarship – New College, Oxford, where he studied English and was a member of the Piers Gaveston Society, a notorious dining club. Before his finals at Oxford, he was set to do a PhD in the History of Art at the Courtauld Institute but could not follow through as he failed to attain a first class degree required to win the grant for his doctoral studies. As a child, he was taught the piano by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s mother.

Personal Life:

Grant dated actress Elizabeth Hurley for many years , separating in 2000 (although they remain good friends). In 1995, while dating Hurley, he was arrested by vice squad officers in Hollywood for indecent conduct with a prostitute, Divine Brown, in a public place. He offered an apology for this on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He then began dating socialite and Unicef ambassador Jemima Khan, ex-wife of Imran Khan in 2004. In February 2007, Grant’s publicist, Robert Garlock, confirmed reports that the two had mutually decided to end their relationship.

In April 2007, Grant was arrested after he allegedly chased, kicked, and threw a can of baked beans at photographer Ian Whittaker and cursed the photographer’s children with cancer. Charges were dropped on June 2.

Grant now has an estimated net worth of $255 million.
