Hugh Grant was arrested in June 1995 with sex worker Divine Brown and pleaded no contest to misdemeanor lewd conduct, paying a fine. The scandal broke two weeks before the premiere of Nine Months — which he famously still promoted on Leno, in one of the most-watched late-night appearances of the decade.
— At the time he was dating a famous model in her famous safety-pin-dress era.
— Days later he went on The Tonight Show and told Jay Leno: “I did a bad thing.”
— His movies have made 'bumbling, charming Englishman' a full-time genre.
— More recently he's played villains: a flamboyant one in Paddington 2, a con man in The Undoing.
— Initials: H.G.
