Hugh Grant’s stage fright battle: Why he quit acting for years

Hugh Grant’s stage fright battle: Why he quit acting for years



HUGH Grant has opened up about a
crippling battle with stage fright that’s dogged him throughout his
career, revealing that, at its worst, his anxiety attacks forced him to
quit acting.
After 1999’s mammoth worldwide hit Notting Hill, Grant found himself getting “absurd stage fright attacks” with alarming frequency.

“I
really don’t know where it suddenly came from. They would just hit me
in the middle of a film and they would only last a morning or something,
but it was devastating,” he tells The Hollywood Reporter.
