Hugh Grant says he believes that audiences “hate” actors and “like to see [them] mocked”.The legendary actor was speaking to JOE about his new film Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre alongside co-star Josh Hartnett, who plays an actor in the film.Discussing what it’s like to portray an actor on screen, as Grant himself did in Paddington 2, Hartnett said: “For me, it was just kind of a heightened version of perspectives of actors, perceptions of actors, I guess.“I mean, I haven’t come across anyone quite as crazy as Danny [his character] but there are people out there who are near, near enough.

It’s fun to be able to lampoon yourself. It’s fun to be able to just do a comedy full stop.”Grant then added: “I think people, audiences, like to see actors mocked, even gently as it is in this film.

Because basically they hate us and I understand that.”Elsewhere, Grant recently shared what film he would scrub from his IMDb page. “The thing is, I would happily shred my CV because I specialised in being bad for decades really,” he joked during a segment on The Late Late Show With James CordenHe added: “As you know, as someone in the industry, it’s one thing for me to say that I was bad, but I can’t bring down the rest of the wonderful colleagues who worked with me on any film by saying it was bad, so that’s my dilemma.”After a slight pause, Grant said: “The Lady And The Highwayman.

Mid-Eighties, film made for television. I’m a highwayman, I’m meant to be sexy, low-budget, bad wig, bad hat. I look like Deputy Dawg.“When I’m tense, my voice goes up two octaves so Deputy Dawg would come leaping out of trees when a carriage went past and go, ‘Stand and deliver!’ And, it’s poor.”Grant also recently said he believes that modern film sets.
