The Big 5-Oh: September 9 Some say Hugh Grant always plays, well, Hugh Grant. But who’d do it better? The callow young fellow in Four Weddings and a Funeral (and an ex-groundskeeper for London’s Fulham Football Club) has matured nicely, morphing into the world-weary charmers of Love Actually and Music and Lyrics. Next he may star in a My Fair Lady remake as Professor Higgins — a role once declined by another Grant who played himself, a chap named Cary.
