Hugh Grantsaid he was “groveling” after misdirecting an outburst at a woman on a movie set who was there as a chaperone for a child.
The actor, 62, toldTotal Filmmagazine, perYahoo! Entertainment, that the incident happened on the first day he was filming his latest movie,Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
“I lost my temper with a woman in my eye line on day one. I assumed she was some executive from the studio who should have known better,” said Grant. “Then it turns out that she’s an extremely nice local woman who was the chaperone of the young girl. Terrible. A lot of groveling….”
He added, “I did a Christian Bale,” comparing himself to the 2009 caught-on-audio moment when Bale, now 49, shouted at theTerminator Salvationdirector of photography after he accidentally entered the actor’s sight lines while filming. At the time, Bale apologized and called the outburst “inexcusable.”
