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

Donald Trump made a cameo in the 2002 romantic comedy “Two Weeks Notice,” but star Hugh Grant says he doesn’t “really remember” the experience.

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

Grant, in a recent interview on “The Graham Norton Show,” told the host that Trump, now the 2024 GOP nominee for president, “always wants to be in my stuff.”

“But the fact is, I don’t really remember him very well,” Grant said. “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, and not paying much attention to Trump’s presence on the film set.

“It was quite a big bet. She didn’t believe I could do it, but I did it,” said Grant, who added that the unidentifed 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.”

When Norton asked if Trump was “nice” to him, Grant said 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.

In 2016, speaking on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live,” Grant described Trump as “very charming” and mentioned the golf club membership before noting that he couldn’t pretend to share “all his politics.”
