CNN —British actor Hugh Grant has admitted that he thought about embarking on a career in politics before reconsidering due to the abuse faced by politicians.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly about his role in political satire miniseries “The Regime,” Grant, who has played politicians on screen, was asked whether he had ever entertained the thought of entering politics in real life.
I never know if they’re real or if they’re bots.
And it was absolutely terrifying,” said Grant.
The abuse “was really extreme and shocking and threatening to one’s family,” he added.
