    Hugh Grant usually seems like he doesn't like a lot of people. But he's definitely fond of Nicholas Hoult. Love their camaraderie.

      There's a new Bridget Jones film coming out next year but (spoiler)....
      Bridget is now a widow with 2 small kids. Colin's character died but he appears in flashbacks. Hugh is in the film as an honorary uncle. The book (and film) was inspired by the author's experiences of being a widow. There are trailers for the new film here on UA-cam. Title is Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.

You can tell Hugh appreciates the career Nicholas has made for himself and who he has become ❤ This is the happiest I’ve seen Hugh Grant in an interview in 30 years.
    Edit: What we all need is a proper About A Boy reunion with these two, Toni Colette, Rachel Weisz, Natalia Tena and Augustus Prew… It’s such an amazing underrated movie and I am so sad I can’t find it streaming in the states but I will be buying it for $3.99 because I want to watch it so bad!

    Something I never really put together about about a boy until I got older and rewatch. It is the subtle storytelling that goes untold about Will and his ability to play guitar. When Marcus first asked him why he has a guitar, Will brushes it off and says it’s just to look cool once again feeding into his lifestyle that’s all about ego and appearance and nothing of really substance. But then in the end, he surprises us all by showing up for Marcus and being able to play quite nicely, which also may allude to the fact that at some point, he did want to amount to more than just existing selfishly and possibly follow in his own father‘s footsteps. Kind of cool :-)

    It's interesting to ponder why Nicholas Hoult didn't suffer the fate of so many other child actors as they became adults of losing popularity. I think Hoult as a child actor and as an adult has brought a sense of charm and playfulness, along with vulnerability, to so many of his roles that you always looked forward to seeing what he'll do, whether child or young adult. He also didn't seem to have the awkward teenage stage on screen that some others like Haley Joel Osment when you realized he was growing up in films like Secondhand Lions. Maybe it was partially because Grant treats his character in About A Boy more like a friend worth respecting than a child that the transition seemed more natural. Either way, he's made an excellent career for himself.

      I feel it's different for child actors in Britain compared to the US. It seems that young British musicians seem to have similar fates to US ones.

      Portraying an excessively adult minded teen in Skins could also have helped with the transition?

      He wasn't really a 'cute' child actor, so when he got older that didn't trap him (like a McCauley Caulkin).

      It's a shame they didn't mention Skins. That's the first time I saw him post-about a boy and he gave a mesmerising performance. In my mind, that cemented his transition to adult acting.

    I loved the movie About A Boy. This conversation was so enjoyable to view. Hugh Grant isn't everyones cup of tea but I really appreciate his dry humour, honesty and and sharp wit. He's still very handsome. Nicholas has grown up to be very lovely as well. My best wishes for both of them.

    I saw it being made, met the directors and walked past Hugh and Rachael Weisz every day. Hugh would make members of the set laugh, the directors really liked him and said he was hilarious. My boss got someone to ask him for an autograph and he was very kind and humble. Hugh would often chat to people passing by on set and looked very happy on that film.
    Rachael Weisz is even more stunning in real life than on film.

    Clint Eastwood is also known for not messing with the script, that's why screenwriters love him. Sometimes great screenplays can get ruined with new edits and completely changed, but if he likes the screenplay, then that's the movie he wants to direct.

I am glad he's being offered more diverse roles.

      @@janfrancis1161 - Thank you for the recommendations! I've always wanted to watch 'Before Sunrise', but have never gotten around to it. I hadn't heard of 'The Go-Between", but just checked out the trailer and put it on my list! I know it's cliche, but my favourite film is 'It's a Wonderful Life'. I just love the way that film makes me feel! It narrowly edges out 'The Joy Luck Club' for my top pick. 'The Joy Luck Club' is a sweet, funny, sometimes heart-breaking film. There are a couple of scenes that are absolutely devastating, but it is still beautiful and optimistic. I have a deep love for that film - which I probably never would have seen if a friend hadn't been given a couple of free tickets for its premiere decades ago!

    I love this- and that it was a connection that was made when Hoult was a child & Grant was really at the height of stardom- to see them genuinely admiring of each other & so at ease is great to watch. Grant gets accused of being difficult- and he probably is around stupidity… case in point- he certainly isn’t here!
