He joked his latest part brought him back down to earth as he was approached to play the role of a ‘self-obsessed, ex-famous actor’.
Hugh enthused: ‘I got a letter with the script saying, “We’ve got this part of an extremely self-obsessed, ex-famous actor that’s fallen on hard times.”
‘I was a fraction hurt! But it was a very funny script and it was a tad therapeutic as I have deep reservoirs of actorly narcissism, neurosis, anger and hatred that I was able to tap!’
The Love Actually star was joined on the show by Aquaman star Jason Momoa and comedian Sarah Millican, with the latter gushing: ‘Doesn’t everybody love you?’
