Hugh Grant can't wrap his head around the fact that so many of us enjoy his dance sequence in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Love Actually. As part of an upcoming ABC News special, which lo🅰oks back on the beloved Christmas rom-com's influence over the last 20 years, the actor reflected on his role as David, the Prime🌄 Minister, in the movie – and recalled how reluctant he was to boogie around the set.
"I saw it in the script and I thought, 'Well, I'll hate doing that'. I didn't fancy doing the dance at all, let alone rehearsing it," Grant told Diane Sawyer in . "To this day, there's many people, and I agree with them, who think 🎀it's the most excruciating scene ever committed to celluloid. Then some people like it. But I will give myself this credit... it was my idea to have that lady cat💞ch me. Genius."
The scene in question sees David bop his way around 10 Downing Street, as The Pointer Sisters' 'Jum💯p' plays on the radio, before he awkwardly comes face-to-face with one of his secretaries. During the interview, Grant went on to say that he's mortified whenever he's forced to watch it back because he's o🔯ut of rhythm, particularly "at the beginning when I wiggle my arse."
"He kept saying 'no'," writer-director Richard Curtis remembered from production way back in 2002. "I think he was hop✨ing I'd get ill or something and we'd say, 'Oh, well, what a shame, we'll have to lose that dancing sequence.
"He was grumpy, he was grump🧔y, but he knew it was a contractual obligation," he laughed, before joking that it must have been "agonizingly embarrassing" to perform. "He's just perfect."
The Laughter & Secrets of Love Actually: 20 Years Later airs on ABC on November 29. For more festive fun, check out our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Christmas movies of all time.
