Hugh Grant reading out classic horror movie lines in the style of a romcom is today’s funniest thing

Just when we thought we couldn’t like Hugh Grant any more than we already do, along comes this.

Grant, you might know, has made an unexpected detour into horror movies with his latest release, Heretic, and its as with this in mind that Jimmy Kimmel asked him to do this.

The star was asked to read out classic horror movie lines, first in the way that they were intended, and then as a romantic comedy. And it’s just fabulous.

Is there an Academy Award for this sort of thing?

Oh this is wonderful.
Enjoy. https://t.co/8rPVahMP1U

See, the beauty of his performance in HERETIC is that he’s doing all his lines in that movie with the rom-com voice. https://t.co/9wxF92Riqu

His first “Hello Clarice” made me feel things

Hugh Grant reads famous horror lines as both horror and rom-com. I want the SILENCE OF THE LAMBS rom-com now. https://t.co/JUghkPcFcd
