Hooray!
......oh yeah, you mean to ones where he played the part of the bumbling idiot englishman!
The highlight of his career was on Top Gear with a surprisingly sycophantic Clarkson, but unfortunately Huge Grunt came across as some kind of bumbling idiot englishman and I thought at the time he was in danger of being typecast as some kind of bumbling idiot englishman. He's gone now - hurray!
Yes agree with that! Actually probably the only film he was good in!
You lot might not miss him but [broken link removed] will
I think Divine has got what she could out of him!
Thompson has continued to stay in the public awareness, appearing in Joey Buttafuoco's cable access show in 1998, on Judge Judy in 1999,[12] and on the Danish documentary series Negermagasinet in 2005. She was the subject of a biopic Million Dollar Hooker in 2006 and appeared on Hollywood Lives, an ITV television series, in 2007.[6] She has been reported to have earned a total of $1.6 million from publicity related to her arrest with Grant.[6] As a result, she and her manager, partner and father of her children, Alvin C. "Gangsta" Brown, bought a four-bedroom home in Beverly Hills and became affluent.[1] Thompson has said the money she earned from interviews and endorsements after the infamous 1995 interrupted dalliance has allowed her to put her daughters through private school.[13] "Everything worked out for the better," she said in 2007: "It helped me turn it into something positive … I was blessed that it could get me out of that lifestyle."[2]
What is so wrong with playing the bumbling Englishman ,everybody who watched 4 Wedding and Bridge Jones enjoyed those films even if they don't admit it out loud and lets not forget Notting Hill .
As the saying goes(you'll only miss him when he is gone come's to mind) mark my words,I can't think of another actor who can play the bumbling Englishman as good as him if any at all.
I think he deserves a knighthood from the Queen
........ being a bumbling idiot Englishman I suppose
.........Ok I'll admit (even to myself) that I DID NOT enjoy those films
............ mark my words.....I won't
.... bumbling idiot Englishman to be precise . ....... and yes I agree he is indeed one.
.........oh jeez here we go.........lets put him right up there with the likes of Tim Henman then........ coming close and achieving feck all.
He received success as an actor that is fact,if not he would not have been paid so much to act and millions of people would not have gone to see his movies,unless you judge success as having won an oscar then that would put him in the company of the likes of Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas to name a few unless you think they are not good actors also.
Did he win an oscar!
No.
Neither did Mitchum or Douglas but I think that is kind of Dodo's point - sort of.
Oh right must have read that wrong pheewwwww! Order is restored! Hugh Grant with an Oscar indeed!
You did not get the point,I said if you judge a actor by if he won an oscar,then is plain English he would be with the like's of Kirk Douglas,Robert Mitchum who also never won an oscar.Did he win an oscar!
I know he has BAFTA or something bit I must have missed the oscar?
Caveat thanks somethings are not easy to explain to some people
My apologies Dodo but i find both the grammar and spelling in your post quite difficult to understand including this one so I'll leave you to it.............. I'm just happy Grant is retiring so good times!
