Hugh Grant wouldn’t like this story to begin on Courtney Avenue, a side street off Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. But Hugh Grant doesn’t like a lot of what people say about him, so it doesn’t matter. A text about Grant has to start on that street, because there, already quite self-confident and incidentally dating Liz Hurley in England, he found himself caught up in a maelstrom of tabloids and scandal. Although he has long since recovered from it, some will no longer even remember the embarrassment of that June 27, 1995 – and yet the wounds remain noticeable and the actor still carries them to this day.
