Chris Pine gushes over ‘mega saucy’ Hugh Grant as he discusses their bromance

Chris Pine has given fans an insight into his bromance with Hugh Grant.

The actor, 42, who worked alongside the 62-year-old in Dungeons And Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, said the Hollywood star is ‘mega saucy’ and that they had ‘an absolute blast’ on set.

When presenter Sian Welby asked how he manages to pull off being so endearing as a bad guy, Chris put it down to his ‘old old age’.

He said, ‘As we know, Hugh is the winner of the most charming award for thirty years and counting, so the man can charm the pants off a nun!

‘I think in his old old age, he’s really starting to enjoy what happens when you don’t have to play the ingénue anymore, you get to play all the others fun stuff that everyone else has had a fun time doing, and not trying to carry a movie.

‘He’s an absolute blast to work with and what I love about him is that for all his charm he’s just this wonderfully grumpy curmudgeon, he’s just saucy, he’s just mega saucy.

‘We have a great time laughing together, I like Hugh a lot.’

Hugh recently admitted to losing his temper and ‘lashing out’ at a stranger on the set of his new film in Northern Ireland.

The Notting Hill star recalled ‘having a couple of tantrums’ while talking recently to Total Film magazine.

‘I lost my temper with a woman in my eyeline on day one. I assumed she was some executive from the studio who should have known better,’ he explained.

It was then Hugh who was left red-faced, as he continued: ‘Then it turns out that she’s an extremely nice local woman who was the chaperone of the young girl. Terrible. A lot of grovelling . . .’

Referring to a fellow British star known for his fiery outbursts, he shared: ‘I did a “Christian Bale”’.

Christian once famously apologised for an explosive on-set tantrum filming Terminator: Salvation, where he unleashed an expletive-filled rant at a poor unsuspecting cinematographer.

During production on the Terminator sequel in 2008, the Oscar-winning actor lashed out at the film’s director of photography, Shane Hurlbut – with the footage of the brutal rant then leaked.
