Recently Hugh Grant took the Vanity Fair magazine Proust Questionnaire where Hugh, hilariously, discusses his dearest loves, his barbecue, and greatest nemesis.

Here are a few excerpts with a link at the end to the Vanity Fair article.

What is your favorite occupation? I have recently fallen in love with barbequeing. I love to undercook chicken and give my family worms.

What is the trait you most deplore in others. Telling me the menu is only accessible through the QR code.

What do you consider the most overrated virtue? Honesty. I’m sometimes asked by people who’ve just seen one of my films, “Do you mind if I’m honest?” I do.

What do you dislike most about your appearance? My cloud of powder gray hair. I look like Liberace. Or a cigarette.

What is it you most dislike? Leaf blowers, scented candles, backpacks, water products, and stretch fabric.

How would you like to die? My wife has kindly agreed to sneak up behind me and shoot me in the back of the head.
