Love Actually star Hugh Grant has slammed airport staff in a furious rant on social media. The 64-year-old actor took to X, formerly Twitter, to recount his latest travel experience. While traveling from Heathrow Airport with his three kids and wife Anna Elisabet Eberstein on Friday, the film star admits he was left feeling unsettled due to an interaction with one of the immigration workers.
Grant, who largely keeps his private life out of the spotlight , described an immigration officer who engaged in chit-chat with his children before asking if they were with their parents, which he said was “insulting” and “creepy.” Travel alert for US citizens to 'delete apps' from law firm amid phone border checks Major US travel warning to visa holders - 'everyone is at risk - even citizens' He fumed: “Just came through Heathrow with wife and children. We all have the same last name (Grant) on our passports.
Immigration officer engages my children in chit chat then whispers to them 'Are these your Mum and Dad?' Intrusive, insulting and creepy.” Hugh shares three children, John, 12, Lulu, eight, and Blue, six, with his wife, Swedish producer Anna, 46 and also has two older kids Tabitha, 13, Felix, 11, with ex Tinglan Hong. The actor has starred in some of the biggest romance films on the big screen, including Notting Hill, Bridget Jones Diary and Love Actually.
Back in November, Hugh delivered a scathing rant after his wife was targeted by online trolls. The loved-up pair, who share a 23-year age gap, married in 2018 after reportedly meeting at a party in London. They began appearing publicly as a couple in 2015, according to Grazia.
In an angry speech on social media, the star revealed that whenever images of Anna are posted online, there are usually "hundreds of comments" tearing her "to pieces." Addressing the hate, he wrote: “She’s never thrust herself forward or courted attention in any way. Adding: “I don’t know if the comments are real.
..Or by bots.
But I do know it’s cyber bullying. And mysoginist.” (Sic) Meanwhile, the dad-of-five once joked that she “hates” everything he has starred in.
In an interview with Variety, the Bridget Jones actor quipped: “I watched it with my wife and she has pretty much hated everything I’ve ever done, but she was obsessed with this.” “If I had said, ‘No, we’re not watching another episode tonight,’ she would have physically harmed me.” The Express has reached out to the Home Office press team for comment.
