Hugh Grant planning to launch career as writer
December 29th, 2009 - 4:53 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )London, Dec 29 (ANI): Brit actor Hugh Grant has revealed that he is planning to fulfil his dream of becoming a writer once his acting career is well established.
Grant, 49, also revealed that he has been harbouring his love of writing for many years, but held off putting pen to paper until he was more financially stable.
“I have always promised myself: ‘When you have made some nice films and earned some money, you are going to finally write your novel’,” the Daily Star quoted him as telling German newspaper Bild am Sonntag.
The Notting Hill star also admitted that he started writing his first book several years ago, but has not been able to complete the story, as he is always tempted away from his computer by new movie projects.
“I don’t know if it is laziness or some kind of fear of failure. (I think) shouldn’t I rather make a film, earn money and work with beautiful women?” he added. (ANI)
