Hugh John Mungo Grant (born 9 September 1960) is an English actor and film producer. He has received a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA, and an Honorary César. His movies have also earned more than $2.4 billion from 25 theatrical releases worldwide. Grant achieved international stardom after appearing in Richard Curtis's sleeper hit Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). He used this breakthrough role as a frequent cinematic persona during the 1990s to deliver comic performances in mainstream films like Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) and Notting Hill (1999). By the turn of the century, he had established himself as a leading man skilled with a satirical comic talent. Since the 2000s, Grant has expanded his oeuvre with critically acclaimed turns as a cad in Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), About A Boy (2002), Love Actually (2003), and American Dreamz (2006). Within the film industry, Grant is cited as an anti-movie star who approaches his roles like a character actor, with the ability to make acting look effortless. Hallmarks of his comic skills include a nonchalant touch of irony/sarcasm and studied physical mannerisms as well as his precisely-timed dialogue delivery and facial expressions. The entertainment media's coverage of Grant's life off the big screen has often overshadowed his work as a thespian. He has been vocal about his disrespect for the profession of acting, his disdain towards the culture of celebrity, and hostility towards the media. In a career spanning 20 years, Grant has repeatedly claimed that acting is not a true calling but just a job he fell into.

for Premierminister in Johnny English - The code of the past
Suggested by ai_casting
Johnny English lives in retirement as a security consultant and enjoys a quiet life. But his MI7 boss asks for his help when an ancient codex is stolen at an auction – a manuscript that holds the key to an ancient secret. Johnny discovers that the codex is part of a larger puzzle: a ‘shadow code’ hidden centuries ago by a legendary spy known as ‘The Shadow’. A worldwide scavenger hunt for artefacts, paintings and encrypted clues begins. In the process, he meets historian Dr Amelia Hart, who has discovered the remains of the organisation ‘The Guardians of the Shadow’. It turns out that the ‘Shadow Society’ is reviving itself to control the code and manipulate the world. During their journey through Europe and Asia, Johnny repeatedly finds himself in comical situations: he uses modern technology in historic buildings, misunderstands old espionage methods, and his awkward charm causes chaos. He learns that his grandfather was once part of the ‘Guardians’ and hid the shadow code to protect it from evil. A showdown ensues at the Scottish castle of the ‘Shadow Society’. Johnny, Amelia and their allies fight the villains while Johnny deciphers the last part of the code. With luck, unintentional cleverness and misunderstandings, he defeats the organisation and secures the code – and in the process discovers his own family history.
