Hugh Grant brought joy to a fan recently by allowing them to press a button and start his expensive Ferrari F12tdf, worth approximately £925k ($1.2m).

In an appealing TikTok video, the 64-year-old actor from Notting Hill was seen looking dapper as always. The fan approached his car, a special track-oriented version of the F12berlinetta, often recognized for its high performance, to press the start button.

Choosing a streamlined silver-colored car that matches his approximately $150 million net worth, Hugh clearly enjoyed catering to his admirer.

The sweet exchange occured outside the Bluerider art gallery in Mayfair. 

In the video posted on the site, the user wrote in the caption: “I began my journey with Hugh Grant’s Ferrari F12 TDF. #HughGrant #Ferrari #F12TDF #Supercar #London” or simply “The user’s video features a ride in Hugh Grant’s Ferrari F12 TDF, located in London. #HughGrant #Ferrari #F12TDF #Supercar

Many TikTok viewers filled up the comment section with their thoughts: “I’ve never come across a video in which I didn’t appreciate the person… If you keep searching, I have a hunch that you’ll discover that love truly surrounds us everywhere…

1. His usual manner is quite straightforward, so allowing you to initiate the conversation is thoughtful of him! What a class act, he’s such a nice person…

2. Hugh Grant, once known for his charm, has taken on a jovial demeanor as he’s grown older. It’s fascinating, really.

3. (For the combined sentence) He’s usually quite straightforward, but allowing you to start the conversation shows what a thoughtful and nice person he is. As for Hugh Grant, his transformation into a cheerful elder is quite captivating. What a class act!

The observation follows not long after Hugh criticized schools for allowing students’ excessive screen usage – with him advocating for the prohibition of laptops and tablets in classroom settings.

At a campaign rally held at a school in west London, the well-known actor and father of five spoke out during the event, expressing his concerns about restrictions imposed by educational authorities that limit children’s ability to play outside.

Actor Hugh Grant, who is well-known for his roles in “Notting Hill” and “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” criticized schools for issuing “unimpressive” instructions regarding the activities that students were permitted to engage in.

He portrayed himself as another weary parent engaged in an ongoing, tiring, and demoralizing struggle against children preferring screens over other activities.

He participated in an event arranged by the group Close Screens, Open Minds. This event featured Dr Jonathan Haidt, a renowned American psychologist, and Sophie Winkleman, who is married to Lord Frederick Windsor, a relative of King Charles, as fellow participants.

The occurrence transpired at the Knightsbridge School, located in west London, which is close to the area of Kensington, where Grant had previously owned properties, such as a penthouse listed for sale at around £8 million in 2021.

In a critique, Grant, who tied the knot with Swedish TV producer Anna Eberstein in 2018, expressed his displeasure towards Chromebooks used in classrooms, referring to them as something unnecessary or burdensome for students.
