Hugh Grant Talks Life As Dad To Three Babies In 15 Months, Jokes About Julia Robert’s Mouth And Porn [Video]
Once compared to George Clooney as one of the world’s most eligible bachelors, Hugh Grant has settled down. Well, sort of. Still a bachelor, Grant became the father to three babies in 15 months, and told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that he links those babies to ending his porn-watching habit, reported E! News.
Hugh was involved in a highly publicized break-up with Elizabeth Hurley. When Andy asked why the two stopped dating after 12 years, Grant was candid.
“It did [work out],” Grant admitted. “She’s still my best friend. The sex bit probably fizzled out, but now she’s my absolute best friend. [She’s] the number one person I call in a crisis.”
Although Hugh didn’t define what he considers a crisis, he did mention the fact that in the past few years, he’s suddenly become the father to three babies, all within the space of 15 months. Grant contends that he stopped watching porn three years ago and links that decision to go cold turkey on porn to fatherhood.
“I went cold turkey,” said Hugh. “I now have three children, so I think there’s a correlation.”
“Food for thought,” teased Cohen.
In addition, Grant discussed his relationship with former co-star Julia Roberts, reported Closer Weekly. He admitted that she probably dislikes him because he has repeatedly joked about her generously-sized mouth.
“[I] was aware of a faint echo” when they kissed, said Hugh of their Notting Hill film romance.
So how did Andy persuade the famously private Grant to dish on his romances and children? As the Inquisitr reported, Cohen has become known for his ability to orchestrate everything from Real Housewives reunion shows to recruiting new additions to the Housewives franchise.
As he reveals below, he feels that he’s become skilled at playing the role of both fan, when appropriate, and producer, as well as moderator for those sometimes volatile reunion shows.
As for how Grant became the father of three babies in such a short period of time, his children come from two different mothers, reported the Daily Mail.
He has a son with Swedish television producer Anna Eberstein. She was reportedly pregnant during the same period as Tinglan Hong’s second child with Hugh. Hugh’s first child is a daughter, named Tabitha.
When Hugh appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show, she decided it was time to help Grant learn how to interact with little girls. So she invited him to have tea with Sophia Grace and Rosie. Watch what happened below.
