Hugh Grant Has ‘Quite A Big’ Reason He Doesn’t Remember Much About Acting With Trump

Hugh Grant claimed he doesn’t “really remember” Donald Trump very well after the GOP nominee made a cameo in “Two Weeks Notice,” the actor’s romantic comedy with Sandra Bullock.

Trump appeared as himself in the 2002 film where he speaks to billionaire real estate developer George Wade (played by Grant) about lawyer Lucy Kelson (played by Bullock) at a cocktail party.

Grant, in a recent interview on “The Graham Norton Show,” told the host that the GOP nominee “always wants to be in my stuff.”

“But the fact is that I don’t really remember him very well,” Grant revealed.

“The night he came, I had a bet with Sandy [Bullock] that I could make the chairman of Warner Bros. cry by 9 p.m.”

He added that he was “completely focused” on that task instead of the future president dropping by the set of the film.

“It’s quite a big bet. She didn’t believe I could do it, but I did it,” said Grant, who added that the unnamed Warner Bros. chairman wound up in “floods of tears” before the 9 p.m. deadline.

He continued, “So I’m afraid Donald Trump didn’t really register.”

Grant, when Norton asked if the GOP nominee was “nice” to him, revealed that he later got a call that he had been made a member of Trump National Golf Club Westchester.

“But I don’t remember him greatly as a person,” he said.

The actor previously described Trump as “very charming” and mentioned the golf club membership before noting that he couldn’t pretend to share “all his politics” in comments on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” back in 2016.

He later told Stephen Colbert in 2018 that Trump was “very civil” at the time and recalled playing golf on a “good course.”

“Given that, given that he acted with me, protocol — being well brought up — demands that I can’t, I can’t be negative about him,” Grant told Colbert.

The actor claimed he’s “never negative” with those he works with in case they’re negative about him.

“At least I’m not publicly, I stab them in the back, behind their back,” he said before the crowd laughed.
