Hugh Grant: Is He Hot or Not?
I can’t sleep. I am at the hotel and the movie Nine Months is on FX. I watch it. In the movie, Hugh Grant’s character discovers that his girlfriend is pregnant. The discovery ignites internal turmoil that, of course, is eventually resolved. Happy ending. I think it’s a crap movie. Although there are exceptions, in general, I tend to dislike chick-flicks. Nevertheless, the movie does make me wonder: has Hugh Grant had plastic surgery? If he hasn’t had plastic surgery, he’s doing something. He gets hotter and hotter as he ages. Maybe it’s the hair? Or, could it be the attitude? In his 1990s movies, he had that floppy haircut and he always played that wet-towel-spineless-puppy-dog guy. However, since About a Boy: Shorter hair. More spine. Cuter Hugh.
What is your opinion? For a moment, forget the fact that his lips completely disappear when he smiles and answer this question: “Hugh Grant: is he hot or not?” Straight men are allowed to comment as well, you know. There is such a thing as a man crush.
(TOTALLY UNRELATED SIDENOTE: one of my exes had the biggest man crush on Lenny Kravitz. Who could blame him? I think Lenny is one of the hottest men to ever walk on the planet Earth; I can’t wait to get my hands on this book.)

lenny kravitz = hot
hugh grant = not
and that’s my final word on the subject.

Hot.
In a cute kind of way.
Is that possible?

Not hot. Cute. In a dorky way. Still cute though. The characters he ends up playing make him look attractive more so than if you were to randomly see him on the street. I notice this happens with quite a few actors, classic example would be Aragorn in LOTR, I wasnt too impressed at the start but then as the movie progressed I confessed I joined the mass of swooning ladies (of course I’d never admit to this).
Lenny Kravitz is VERY hot. The book looks good by the way! Might keep that in mind for the next time I’m at a bookstore and need to browse…aesthetic appeal of course!

He’s aging well, that’s for sure. But he’s too droopy eyes for me. And I never got over that whole hooker incident. That was definately not hot. Lenny K goes through hot phases. The short hair did nothing for me. Nothing.
Also, I have a thing for terribly sexy men with wildly un-sexy names. I mean, really: Lenny?

Make mine a “surly girl” special.
January 24th, 2006 at 10:20 am
Not so hot. I’m with Missbhavens – hookers are not hot. Dudes who sleep with hookers? As not hot.
A comment on your “TOTALLY UNRELATED SIDENOTE:” is Vin Diesel really a black guy? He’s got nothin’ on Lenny. And they left Prince out of the book!

Lenny is hot, Hugh is not! IMO!
I too wondered why he would get caught with his pants down while Liz Hurley was his girlfriend, really?
By the way, what lovely city are you working in?
January 24th, 2006 at 12:18 pm
I agree:
lenny kravitz = hot
hugh grant = not
Hugh just doesn’t blow my skirt up, if you know what I mean!!!
January 24th, 2006 at 4:00 pm
Hugh is cute.
Lenny is SUPER HOT! When I was pregnant with my son, my husband joked that if the baby came out half black, he knew it would be Lenny’s baby.
January 24th, 2006 at 5:17 pm
Hugh Grant – not hot! Foppish brit boys just don’t do it for me. Now little black men in high heels ala Prince and Lenny – that’s what I’m talkin’ bout!!!
January 24th, 2006 at 6:26 pm
surly girl: Wow! It seems that almost *everyone* agrees with you!! :)
lala: Yeah, I agree. He kind of has that “cute” thing going on.
Darwin: Okay, that’s *2* votes for “cute” but not really “hot” per se. (By the way, I didn’t see any of the LOTR movies, but I heard that they boosted interest in NZ travel.)
missbhavens: You don’t like the sad, droopy eye look? I’m kind of a sucker for big eyes. But, that could be because *I* have big eyes, too. ;) … Yeah, I know what you mean, before THE Lenny, the name Lenny was just, well, dorky.
Berry: She was the first to comment and it looks like she hit it right on the nail since most of you guys agree with her.
MamaChristy: You asked, “is Vin Diesel really a black guy?” If you ask Vin Diesel you won’t get a direct answer, but if you asked his black father, you probably would. I could write a loooong post about this but I won’t. By the way, I think the site http://www.mixedfolks.com has more info on Vin.
Tonito Bandito: Okay, it *reallY* looks like Surly Girl got it right!! :) And, I agree with you, the hooker thing was a bit much.
Hanuman: More YAYs for Surly Girl!!! :)
Deep: Hmmm … tomorrow, maybe I’ll write a post about the difference between “cute” and “sexy.” Either that, or I’ll write an Ode to Lenny Kravitz. It’s been a while since my last Ode.
Nerd Girl: I love it, “little black men in high heels.” You’re hilarious!!! I might use that as the subject for tomorrow’s post.

Hugh Grant (Post Notting Hill/About a Boy ) = HOT
Lenny Kravitz = HOTTER
It’s definitely related to the hair. Here’s my theory:
The hair makes Hugh – Hugh started to look good after he was makin a little moolah and could afford to get somebody who knew what they were doing to work his do.
Lenny makes the hair – Yeah, from big *ssed ‘fro to bone straight this man could put me in a frenzy just reading his grocery list to a guitar solo…sigh
January 24th, 2006 at 10:39 pm
You said, “the hair makes Hugh; Lenny makes the hair.” I love it!!!! :)
January 24th, 2006 at 11:09 pm
The only hot Hugh in the world is Hugh Jackman. Hugh Grant is a wuss and Hugh Hefner is simply revolting.
Mmmmm Hugh Jackman… mmmmm….
January 24th, 2006 at 11:56 pm
Hugh WAS hot… (Four Weddings and a Funeral era) Now, he’s NOT. Did you catch the terrible, Bridget Jones sequel a year or so ago? He was waif-thin and very wrinkled. Not attractive at all.
January 25th, 2006 at 2:49 am
cute in a dorky way i agree with darwin but in sense and sensiility he is a freaking F-O-X
January 25th, 2006 at 5:59 am
Jay: Hugh Jackman has his moments. He was experimenting with facial hair for a while and I don’t like facial hair. When he’s clean-shaven, he’s okay.
Ashley: GROSS!!!! ;) I thought Hugh Grant was sooo *not* attractive during the floppy-hair years / 4 Weds & Funeral era. Granted, I didn’t see the Bridget Jones sequel, so you could be completely right about the waif look. Could it be that Hugh has fallen into an ugly-boy phase?
Dear Lovey Heart: Oh, no, no, no, dear friend; S&S qualifies as the Floppy Hair Era, too. :) Hmmm, could the Stolie Nation possibly be divided into four camps with everyone believing either:
(A) Hugh is “cute” but not “hot”
(B) Hugh is neither cute nor hot
(C) Hugh wasn’t hot but now he is
(D) Hugh was hot but now he is not

MamaChristy: You asked, “is Vin Diesel really a black guy?” If you ask Vin Diesel you won’t get a direct answer, but if you asked his black father, you probably would. I could write a loooong post about this but I won’t,
Oh, no, please go ahead and post a long one about this, phenomena because as a mixed chick (or however you want to put it) this had always freaked me out about him, and others who behave similarly.
January 25th, 2006 at 11:02 am
MUST…BUY…BOOK…NOW!!! Oh, wow. Wasn’t expecting to get all worked up while AT work, but I really, seriously, think I need to buy that book — soon!
Oh, yeah, Hugh Grant is hot (although About a Boy and Bridget Jones the 1st seem to be his hottest moments), but not hot like Lenny Kravitz hot. But you know, I wouldn’t kick him out of my bed, blah blah blah…
January 26th, 2006 at 4:56 am
missbhavens: Okay, okay, okay … I’ll post about this sometime in the future. For now, I’ll just say that if I ever meet senior Vin Diesel, the two things I’d want to say are: (1) Get over yourself!!!! It’s the f*cking United States; *EVERYBODY* is a “mixture of a lot of different things”. (2) Be proud of who you are.
Bro: She reads the words and she does what they say: “UPON. PURCHASE. OF. BOOK. LOAN. IT. TO. STOLIE.” :)
