To be fair, this was recored in 2008, when it wasn’t easy to obtain, let alone upload, an HD digital file of a recording. Either way I agree, 144p is abysmal even for those times. They could’ve managed to at least upload it in 480p.
@@blastaway1784 am I missing something here , trust me people in the uk do not worship the BBC, as I’ve said in my other post it’s common knowledge they are.very suspicious organisation, we all know what I’m talking about, or maybe it’s just me?
petrucci15 If you pay attention, he's usually funny and likeable. But I've noticed that American audiences didn't use to take his wry humour well nor do they now.
Is he a stand up comedian or that he "would be"? Some people can be hilarious in some conversations and do great in comedy movies but as a stand up....that would be tough.
Hugh Grant is wonderful! xD I actually cried of laughter so many times during this interview... "... and when he wouldn't get out of his car, I thought 'Waaah, then I'll attack the car!'" The look on his face is hilarious XD !
+Emma J My dad was sat next to him once on a flight to New York and he was reading a review of a film he'd made and he was being so rude and obnoxious to all the flight stewards because it had got a really bad review, so I think he comes across nicer when he's being filmed
@@aaron7803 i think he assumed the woman was highlighting the gap between her own age and Hugh's If Hugh was 50 and she's 37 younger, means she's 13... which he thought was unlikely and assumed she was 23 instead. Hence the gap being 27. At least I'd like to think thats what happened
I would hazard a guess and say he's probably unfulfilled as an actor. I think he's a very good one, but he always gets the romantic comedy roles that may have left him typecast. He did a film with Gene Hackman years ago called 'Extreme Measures' a thriller, although not a box office smash, but his best acting performance in my view, but hey, what do I know..?
His best acting role was in Cloud Atlas... then again it was the best acting role for many of the actors involved in that film, including Tom Hanks and Jim Broadbent. Tom Hanks was just too good as a cockney.
"You're better, funnier, much better looking and with a smaller tongue". What a line! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 1 min 47.7 is a very good time and a time to be proud of.
he made a mistake it doesnt mean that he is a bad guy or smt!! we all made mistakes cuz we are all human!! and judging him for his mistakes makes you more poor than me ! so accept or not he is the hottest man alive and also a great actor and a kind respectful person !!
I LOVE how honest and hilarious Hugh is
How was he honest haha
Due to the unique way the BBC is funded, this episode was filmed with a toaster rather than a camera, hence the 144p quality.

Sadly this cuts out Hugh's line about the new film he's come to promote. "It's a romantic comedy, which is something I've never done before." 😂
😂😂😂😂 that's all he can do well
I'm surprised how funny and likeable he is in this interview

Why surprised! He has always been so witty! :)
he's ALWAYS funny and likeable...
He is actually a great stand up comedian rather than an actor. And I love all his interviews.

Not in person I’m afraid!!!!
He’s a good actor most of his movies are good and he’s got an endearing personality
@@Olithecabbyno why do you say that
@@rufusgreenleaf2466he’s an actor but he’s funny
Hugh banter with Jeremy really natural...i love it
Hugh Grant makes me feel warm inside when ever i hear his voice :)
love you Hugh !
Incredible, this man is 49 years old, but he is so young and full of humour. A wonderful person.
He's well into his 60s

The look on his face is hilarious XD !
Just seen Hugh in The Gentlemen. Brilliantly played in a fantastic movie. Absolutely sucks bollocks that we all get old though.
He's so British.
Yes its almost like he is British🤔
I’d say so English…he’s nothing like the rest of Great Britain….
"British" isn't a personality trait. He's English.
@@dougm659 Truth. He's definitely one type, but there are many.
I love Hugh Grant. He is so good at interviews he is hilarious.
Because Hugh Grant is so well-spoken, I thought he'd be a stuck-up little dweeb, but he's not, he seems like a genuine, down to earth kinda guy.
Dweeb? No way, he’s charming, endearing in an awkward way, posh, funny, and a good storyteller
We love this dude.
I wish he was 28 again and making movies in England again instead of in the US.
" youve ripped the wipers off my car" " oh im so sorry" haha
Hugh Grant is such a great actor
Like Ustinov, he seems to be God's gift to the talk show host. He's never stuck for an anecdote and he's always funny throughout.
Love his wit. He’s so funny.
Hugh Grant is a beautiful man.

My name is also Hugh Grant and I'm genuinely shocked I've never heard this before 😂
5:41: "I really want to get on to your lap, obviously."
Its delightful seeing this interview ☺️ ☺️ ☺️ ❤
"Contains strong language"
Hugh Grant swearing, yay, gotta watch this ! x)
If you're going to be angry, follow it through... Prophetic words !
One of the best Top Gear interviews ☺
Oh Hugh, never fails to make me lol :)
Interviewer: we are the same age give or take
Hugh: It's hard to believe 😂🤣
and THEN he interviewed me.
"does this hurt" hahah..that part really made me laugh :D Hugh is the best!
Oh I can listen to hugh grant all day long and ever don't ever change xoxo
He went to Latymer Upper School and graduated from Oxford with a 2:1 honours. So people seem to have it all.
"oh hello" n then he strokes his chin so proudly :D beautiful :D
Guy should be a stand up comic
He's 50? Damn. Only a 37 year age gap.
+Sophie Hadley.wondering if you still feel the same about Hugh now,😂
27*

''I really want to get on to your lap''
Nice choice of words Jeremy!
Hugh's amazingly funny, I'm impressed.
2 of the most British people ever
He’s actually hilarious!
Love this - both of the British accent and humour :D
I want to Hugh Grant when I grow up
Love his sense of humor, and well of all the cars he pushed the porshe the most, lmao!
Not really. He pointed out the seat is not aligned with the pedals - something I always hated about the Beetle (a very inferior car to the Mini)!
I swear that bollocks is the best swear word invented
One less pixel and this would be a podcast. Come on BBC, upload a better version! This is a classic interview.
It's fine. Why are people so obsessed with this - just use your brain to join the dots.
I am a big Fan of Hugh. He is adorable.
hugh grant is always funny
LOVE that accent and hugh grant! platonic lovee forever
grant ,love u very much
''And we punished him for that'' hahaha
Whats that?
Heck yes. He's stunning.
One of the better interviews Jeremy has done.
He did great!
5:41 "I really want to get onto your lap, obviously"
7:50 that was the most British yes i've ever heard
hugh grant should be the next bond.
I love the british accent! :)
I had to laugh so hard the first time I saw him driving and when he bumped his head in the car :D Its till funny!
Back in the day, when TG was great fun.!
clarkson - "ok listen, i really want to get onto your lap..."
right after talking about a prostate exam LOL

Ian Rivers very good film
His best acting role was in Cloud Atlas... then again it was the best acting role for many of the actors involved in that film, including Tom Hanks and Jim Broadbent. Tom Hanks was just too good as a cockney.
he’s started to get more interesting roles with age, and he’s stated as much in interviews
Brilliant in Maurice, before he got typecast
He got his chance to really act in BBC tv A Very English Scandal, in which he played to perfection, Jeremy Thorpe, the Liberal Party scion.
Clarkson is only one year older than Grant, but looks like his father
"You're better, funnier, much better looking and with a smaller tongue". What a line! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

That man's an awesome character!
He's so charmingly befuddled
"Yes... Yes... Yes... Oh hello !" *swoons*
haha man i love hugh grant, hes insanley additctive :) great man x
Still laugh at Jay Leno's Tonight Show when he shook his head in disbelief to Hugh, 'What were YOU thinking???' Actually helped his Hollywood career.
I COMPLETELY mis-heard "I want to get onto your lap, obviously."
Hugh Grant looks like Paul McCartney on gamma rays.
