Hugh Grant Shares Hilarious Notes He Got from Love Actually Director Richard Curtis: 'Now Do a Funny One'

Hugh Grant jokingly revealed the hilariously harsh criticism he got from 'Love Actually' director Richard Curtis at the 15th Governors Awards on Sunday, Nov. 17

"Richard Curtis is a brilliant comedic storyteller whose tremendous charitable efforts embody the meaning of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award," Academy President Janet Yang said in a statement released in June. The Oscar statuette Curtis received is given “to an individual in the motion picture arts and sciences whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry by promoting human welfare and contributing to rectifying inequities," per the release. Of the "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her" line becoming as famous as it did over the two and a half decades since Notting Hill's release, Roberts, 57, told British Vogue for the magazine's February 2024 issue, "I mean, it was a great scene."
