Hugh Grant’s ‘Creepy’ Airport Encounter: Kids Questioned Despite Shared Last Name

BBG News

Hugh Grant recently disclosed an awkward and disrespectful encounter he experienced during a family trip through Heathrow Airport last Friday.

The Hollywood actor, 63, revealed his children were questioned by an immigration officer. 

Hugh has three younger children, namely Tabitha (age 13), Felix (age 11), John (age 12), Lulu (age 8), and Blue (age 6), who he shares with his wife Anna Elisabet Eberstein, aged 46.

As a devoted parent myself, I, much like the charming Bridget Jones’s actor, choose to shield my two older offspring, who were born to my former partner Tinglan Hong, from the glare of the public spotlight, preferring to maintain their privacy and wellbeing as my top priority.

On the social media site X, Hugh posted: “We’ve just landed at Heathrow Airport with my family – wife and kids. All of us share the same surname (Grant) in our passports.

The immigration officer converses casually with my kids and quietly asks them, “Are these your parents?” This behavior feels intrusive, disrespectful, and uncomfortable.

Although the event occurred at London’s Heathrow Airport, it’s important to note that the immigration officers there aren’t actually employees of the airport; instead, they work for the Home Office.

According to government instructions, if you’re taking a minor (someone under 18 years old) and you’re not their parent, or it might seem that way due to different surnames, they might ask you some questions to confirm your connection with the child.

1. ‘Our approach will be swift, yet mindful of both the child’s and adult’s concerns, ensuring sensitivity at all times.’

2. ‘We aim to act fast, but also with consideration for the feelings and needs of both the child and the grown-up.’

3. ‘We strive to work efficiently, while taking into account the best interests of both the young and old parties involved.’

4. ‘We’re committed to moving swiftly, while maintaining a caring attitude towards all concerned parties, including children and adults.’

5. ‘Our actions will be prompt, but we’ll always keep in mind the welfare of the child and adult.’

TopMob has contacted Heathrow Airport and the Home Office for comment.

Following Elizabeth Hurley, Hugh Grant’s former partner, disclosing that they no longer communicate, it appears their relationship ended after they gained notoriety together when she wore that iconic Versace gown to the premiere of his 1994 film “Four Weddings and a Funeral.

In a blink of an eye, the actress gained widespread recognition due to the stunning Versace gown she wore, which was a unique blend of black silk and Lycra, and was secured with large safety pins. This extraordinary outfit was lent from Versace’s flagship store situated on Old Bond Street.

Similarly, Hugh experienced a considerable improvement in both his personal life and career due to his portrayal of the eternally single Charles in director Richard Curtis’ romantic comedy.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I’ll share my perspective on the remarkable bond between Elizabeth and this certain individual. This connection, oh boy, was instrumental in guiding her through a crucial juncture in her life. Yet, sadly, they no longer cross paths physically – a situation that arose following their amicable parting in 2000. However, the friendship that blossomed from their separation remains rock-solid.

At a recent gathering known as the Bazaar At Work summit held in London, she mentioned that coincidentally, herself and her former partner, Hugh Grant, experienced the event simultaneously.

Similar to myself, he too had put in considerable effort, feeling quite content with his progress. However, the release of Four Weddings and a Funeral shifted everything dramatically – he became an extraordinary sensation.

“The movie became incredibly popular, turning things upside down. However, it wasn’t just me; there was another person involved, and I believe this dual presence greatly contributed to our success. When you find yourself unexpectedly in the limelight, your life isn’t designed for such attention.”

The film achieved great success, causing a significant shift. There were two of us working on it, and I think that this joint effort played a crucial role. Being suddenly exposed to public scrutiny is not something our lives are prepared for.)

She stated: ‘There’s no shield for you. It was concerning. The media was significantly more brash during the 90s and early 2000s compared to today. I wholeheartedly think that people weren’t permitted to be as impolite as they were back then.’

There’s something special that forms when you face tough times together. Even though he’s usually busy with his family and rarely sees me, he remains deeply important to me.

Pondering over the notable gown, which was generously loaned at the eleventh hour by Dean Aslett, then the head of Women’s Wear and Atelier at Versace, Elizabeth confesses she was taken aback by the level of interest it generated.

She reminisced, finding it peculiar. Despite having worked for several years, she felt quite well-known in her own mind, believing she had garnered some level of fame from being featured in various projects.

To my loved ones, I appeared to be successful, yet I was clueless about the true implications of being in the spotlight. This revelation came as a profound surprise to my inner self.
