But now the former leading man says he's giving up on romance. As least as far as the movies are concerned.
Grant rode to rom-com renown off the back of a fabulously flustered performance in 1994's box office smash Four Weddings and a Funeral. This set him up for starring roles in a string of blockbuster comedic romances including Notting Hill and the still perplexingly popular Love, Actually, where he played a love struck Prime Minister who enjoyed a good boogie.
