Love Actually, one of Hugh Grant's movie
I was
pleasantly surprised to read in today's newspapers that Hugh Grant has become a dad for the second time. That said, there is something that I don't really
understand here. Celebrities don't seem to have babies like the rest of us. You
see, when, in 2011, Hugh Grant announced that he had just had a baby daughter,
his spokesman said that the baby was the result of 'a fleeting affair' between
Hugh Grant and Tinglan Hong. Well, it looks like the very same fleeting affair
has produced another surprise baby.
I am
confused. Let's go back to basics here. What does 'fleeting' mean? According to
my beloved dictionary, fleeting means 'lasting for a very short time'. It
doesn't say anything about having a couple of kids in the space of 18 months.
Maybe it has something to do with the elasticity of time? In love, everything
is subjective, right? In short, when you are madly in love, a couple of years
is just too short. Even ten years are too short. A fleeting
affair for Hugh Grant might well be the real thing.
Maybe the
commitment phobe actor has just become a family man and is too scared to admit it?
Even if he is not in a relationship with the mother of his children (which is
pure speculation on my part) he will have to spend a fair amount time with her.
If that's not commitment, then I don't know what is.
Hugh
Grant has testified during the Leveson enquiry because he had been stalked by
paparazzi who didn't think twice when they hacked his voicemail and possibly
broke into his flat. More than ever, he must want to keep his private life,
well, private. Which is probably why we will never know what exactly is going
on. That said, I have a sneaky feeling that Hugh is happy and, -who knows ?- ,
may want the fleeting affair to produce another sibling.
Honestly,
what's not to love about such a fleeting affair? Congratulations to both parents!
It's a male Ting Ting
ReplyDeleteKudos to the woman for getting SOME form of commitment out of Hugh Grant.
ReplyDeleteI know! How did she do this?
ReplyDeleteAnd she looks great!
ReplyDeleteHopefully, the child is never part of any fleeting affair...
ReplyDeleteIf this is a "fleeting" affair, what is a "lasting" affair for him? Four kids?
ReplyDeleteHere I thought he was still in jail for exposing himself to the ladies of the night. So I looked it up and I'm off by like 13 years. Where have I been for 13 years? Also, this is irrelevant to the discussion at hand by Mickey Blue Eyes was my favorite comedy until Bridesmaids came along :-)
ReplyDeleteHe is. More than ever apparently.
ReplyDeleteWell, you know, celebrities don't do anything like the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteI love 4 weddings and a funeral, Notting Hill and Love Actually. And yu are right, we are not getting any younger. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI have a sneaky feeling that Hugh Grant may have become a family man. Who would have thought?
ReplyDeleteIts weird what they do in their lives. I never understand celebrity. They have money (more than ever!), fame and they mess up everything else! Makes you feel all warm to have a "normal" life!
