Taking Hugh for Granted

We've got two pieces of Hugh's News to announce, fans! First, the announcement that Hugh Grant has signed on to a leading role in eight-part Netflix series Kaos. The series is billed as a bold, darkly comic, contemporary take on Greek mythology, exploring love, power and life in the underworld and Grant is set to portray the seemingly all-powerful, yet desperately insecure and vengeful Zeus, who has long enjoyed his status as King of The Gods. 

If the prospect of Hugh playing a Greek god wasn't enough, he has also been confirmed to play a role in Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, a comedy which will be directed by Jerry Seinfeld. In recent weeks, Hugh has been spotted in a Tony the Tiger outfit in Los Angeles – feeding the rumour mill that he will be play the famous cereal mascot. Wouldn't that be grrrrrrrrrrrreat!
