Hugh Grant

I am not a fan of Hugh Grant. In fact, I think he is one of the most physically unattractive male celebrities around. How he managed to convince Liz Hurley to be with him for 10 odd years is beyond me. However, as I am watching Notting Hill now as I type this, I've realised that perhaps, it is not his looks that makes him so appealing but his personality.

My friends always accuse me of falling for a pretty face. They accuse me of being shallow and placing utmost importance on looks. Honestly speaking, looks ARE important. Deep down everyone feels that way but they just choose not to admit it. I have no problem saying that I need to be attracted physically to a person before I can even consider going on a date with him. Having said that though, I have fallen for male friends who were completely platonic in the beginning but have developed into something more. In this instance, they probably did not fit my idea of a physically attractive person, but as I spend more time with them, I start to fall for the man and ignore the packaging.

Perhaps that happened to Liz Hurley. She fell for the affable guy. The guy who made her laugh, who could always manage to bring a smile to her face even on the gloomiest of days or situation. The guy who commiserates with her when she is having her period and knows exactly where to take her to dinner and which wine to order to make her feel better.

Truth be told, Hugh Grant is not looking too bad to me at the moment. He has the rare ability to speak the Queen's English and sound dead sexy doing it. This is in reference to his character as Daniel Cleaver in Bridget Jones Diary.
