Have you ever seen an actor enjoy a role as much a Hugh Grant in Paddington 2?

  1. Hugh Grant in *The Gentlemen*. He certainly looked like he was enjoying himself.

  2. No. Fire me he was a revelation in that role. But in any case when I saw this film at the cinema I laughed almost the entire time. One of the best films I have ever seen. I’m 67.

  3. Role?

    My understanding is that he blundered into the set and the cameras were filming the whole time.

  4. Hugh Grant in everything he’s done since they stopped casting him as a floppy British heartthrob

  5. Pedro Pascal in Wonder Woman 84.

    He knows he’s in an absolute stinker of a movie and just starts chewing scenery.

  6. Hugh Grant on virtually any bit of his later career when the leading romantic roles have gone, the weight of expectation of carrying films has gone and he just seems to have decided to have fun.

  7. Gary Oldman playing Jackson Lamb in Slow horses.

    Would love to see outtakes of it!

  8. I think all the actors collectively enjoyed their role, hence why the movie works so well and is universally enjoyed.

  9. Tom Curry in Muppet Treasure Island. He owned that film and then some.

  10. Ian McKellen in practically every role, even serious ones, seems like he loves his job beyond measure, but for me, Cold Comfort Farm takes the cake. He’s having a blast.

    That said, P2 is a perfect film and HG is delightful in it.

  11. Quentin Tarantino had Selma Hayek toes in his mouth in from dust till dawn

  12. i feel like john travolta has never been happier or more comfortable than when he played the mum in hairspray

    the duet between her and husband christopher walken is so sensual

    travolta even requested that his fat suit and dresses be sexier

  13. Hugh Grant described it as the best film he has been in at the time and I think his obvious enjoyment of what he was doing shines through and makes it something special. His emancipation from his rom com roles have allowed him to show a variety that I had no idea he possessed. I used to see his name on a film and immediately knew what to expect, these latter years have been a revelation.

  14. Jason Mamoa in whatever the latest fast and furious film was. The film is absolute trash but Mamoa is just having the best time being silly and over the top.

    Full on cartoon villain material.

  15. Hugh’s officially in his IDGAF era and it’s marvellous 

  16. Pierce Brosnan in MobLand looks like he’s having an absolute ball of a time 😂

  17. Ron Jeremy seems to have more fun in most of his movies..

  18. Yes.

    Hugh Grant in The Gentleman
    Hugh Grant in Operation Fortune
    Hugh Grant in Dungeons and Dragons

  19. Both Nic Cage and Pedro Pascal in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

  20. Raul Julia in the Addams Family movies. He had to repeatedly kiss Anjelica Huston, smoke massive cigars and wear a sharp suit.

  21. Alan Rickman Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Not a single piece of the set, or supporting actor remained unchewed

  22. Yes. Hugh Grant in Music & Lyrics

    If you haven’t seen the 80’s parody music video Pop! Goes My Heart then what are you even doing with your life

  23. Hugh Grant in dungeons and dragons. Hugh Grant in heretic. Hugh Grant in wonka. Hugh Grant in paddington 3. Hugh Grant in the gentlemen.

    I feel like Ian McShane has a lot of fun with stuff he does. Olivia Coleman seems to, too.

  24. I will not tolerate the memory of “Two Weeks Notice” being besmirched in any way 🤣

  25. Pierce Brosnan in Mamma Mia. I think him and I were the only ones who thought he did great

  26. Not a film, but John Lithgow (and, indeed the entire cast, but especially him), in 3rd Rock from the Sun.

  27. Raul Julia playing M.Bison. he did the role for his kids while dying from cancer and went full ham and absolutely killed it
