How internet reacted Reacting to the post, a person wrote, "With such high stats on child trafficking, I think it’s more than justified and necessary to explore conversations with children at airports." A comment read, "Imagine not recognising Hugh Grant. I'm sorry this happened to you.

" A tweet read, "I’m sure child smuggling happens hence the question. It’s surely a good thing that a discreet well meaning question in an airport can ultimately help to keep children safe?" A fan tweeted, "I don't know what's worse, that creepy whisper or the fact the officer apparently didn't recognise you." Another person wrote, "It's for child safeguarding reasons.

Be thankful the officer was doing their job correctly." About Hugh Grant Hugh was recently seen in Heretic, a psychological horror film, written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. It also stars Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East.
