Hugh Grant dreads turning 50
September 2nd, 2010 - 2:19 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Sep 2 (IANS) Actor Hugh Grant admits that he is scared of turning 50.
The British actor who turns 50 Sep 9, jokes he would end his life at a euthanasia clinic once he reaches the milestone, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
“I’m dreading it. There is this place in Switzerland called Dignitas. I’m going to go to Dignitas on my 50th birthday - 50 is enough!” he said.
The “Four Weddings and A Funeral” star says that he lost his sense of humour when he started exercising more in a bid to escape crippling panic attacks which often struck him while he worked.
“I get these panic attacks. So I have always tried to do everything I possibly can - herbal remedies, chemical remedies. Running was the only thing that really helped,” he said.
“It calmed me down, so I didn’t have the panic attacks. But at the same time, I found that it lowered my sense of humour. I lost my edge a bit. So in the end, I stopped running.
“It’s not the audiences, I love them. Put me on stage in front of thousand people and I’m very comfortable. It’s cameras I don’t like,” he added.
