Hugh Grant Was Born to Play the Villain
Briefly

"This is the freak-show period of my career. I got old. I got ugly. No one offered me leading men anymore." Hugh Grant reflects on his career shift to villain roles.
"I'm quite drawn to evil, violence, death. I feel very happy in that world." Grant shares his comfort with darker character portrayals in his recent projects.
His riveting turn in Heretic is something else entirely. It's hard to imagine anyone else pulling off this role, which feels like it's in conversation with the actor's earlier years.
A silly question, perhaps, but an intriguing one because of how disarming he was in all those earlier movies. Has Hugh Grant always been the villain?
