Hugh’s a ‘gigantic pumpkin head’
British actor Hugh Grant says he doesn’t like filming rain scenes because drizzle makes his head swell and it looks like a “gigantic pumpkin head”.
British actor Hugh Grant says he doesn’t like filming rain scenes because drizzle makes his head swell and it looks like a “gigantic pumpkin head”.
Grant also said that for the same reason he warned director Marc Lawrence about scripting a rainy moment in his new film Did You Hear About The Morgans?, but the latter didn’t listen. Now Grant feels fans will mock his big head when the film releases, reports hollywood.com. “Something funny happened in the rain scene that I noticed in the film — my head expands and I had this gigantic pumpkin head.
I could hardly get my head into the wide frame and it was shot in cinema scope,” said Grant. “I find I have a normal size head when it’s not raining and then I turn the corner and suddenly it’s a pumpkin. At the same time, (co-star) Sarah Jessica’s head shrunk to the size of a bead. Suddenly there’s this freak with a pumpkin head doing this love scene with this bead-headed creature. Then we turn the corner and we’re back to normal heads again,” he added.
Thoughts of his big head are not all that’s keeping Grant busy. The actor said he dreams of running away from Hollywood and publishing a book, in an interview with a German newspaper Sunday. “I have always promised myself: ‘When you have made some nice films and earned some money, you are going to finally write your novel’,” the 49-year-old star told the Bild am Sonntag.
He said he had already completed half a book but had written next to nothing in the last year. “Shouldn’t I rather make a film, early money and work with beautiful women?”
