Hugh Grant is in the ambitious, partly Wachowski helmed blockbuster Cloud Atlas, and has spoken about his role(s) in the film.
The always honest actor spewed, "I have six cameo parts in this strange, ambitious film," Grant told Empire (via Digital Spy) magazine. "I do a lot of killing and raping. I wear an awful lot of prosthetic make-up, too. You probably won't know that I am in the film!" He added, "But it was a laugh. I thought before I read it that I'd turn it down, which I normally do, but I was interested in meeting the Wachowskis because I have always admired them enormously. And they are so charming and fascinating." In his usual self-effacing manner he finishes with, "I slightly called my own bluff. In one of the parts I am a cannibal, about 2,000 years in the future, and I thought, 'I can do that. It's easy'. Then I am suddenly standing in a cannibal skirt on a mountaintop in Germany and they are saying, 'You know, hungry! We must have that flesh-eating, like a leopard who is so hungry...' and I am thinking, 'I can't do that! Just give me a witty line!'"
Tom Hanks is ostensibly the lead in the production, but I'm much more looking forward to see whatever the hell it is Hugh Grant does in it.
