Hugh Grant makes rare joke about 1995 sex worker scandal on The View

Grant was arrested by Los Angeles police for participating in “lewd conduct” in a public place with a sex worker named Divine Brown. “Everyone thinks, ‘Oh, well he’s just bitter because he got arrested with a hooker in 1995,’” Grant said to riotous laughter from the hosts and studio audience. That’s what my campaign is about.” Grant’s arrest came one year after he shot to fame in Four Weddings and a Funeral, and he later called the incident a moment of “insanity”. That’s my fantasy.” When Hurley eventually broke her silence on the event, two months after Grant’s arrest, she said that “she felt like she had been shot” on hearing he had sex with a sex worker.
