What is up with Hugh Grant??

For the longest time I knew Hugh Grant as the kitschy rom-com actor, and I never gave him much thought (except for Love, Actually - the most guy-watchable rom-com of all time).
However - I saw him in last year’s Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre with Jason Statham, and I have to say, Hugh Grant flat out stole the show. His dialogue and delivery were marvelous, and he played the creepy billionaire perv perfectly.
Then, my son drags me to see Heretic the other night, and again, I’m treated to a master-class performance by Hugh Grant. The movie itself is pretty mid, but Grant’s performance was spectacular.
I now find myself optimistically anticipating his next role, and wondering WHY he waited until so late in his career to treat us to this level of acting…?

He's probably realizes he screwed up when he was dating Elizabeth Hurley years ago.

I stopped caring about the private(sic) lives of celebrities long ago. Ok, that’s not entirely true…. I never cared, lol. I view celebrities as employees - I pay them to entertain me. If they do a good job, I’ll keep paying them - if not, I fire them.“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

Yes, I had forgotten the hookers. Maybe she hadn't had enough and walked.
