In TWN, HG's latest romantic comedy (his eighth, in fact), the actor
portrays George Wade, a rakish billionaire ladies' man. "He bridges
the gap between the out-and-out cads and the Goody Two-shoes I've
played," says Grant. "He lives for fun, girls, jokes, parties -all the
things that are important to me. But I have neuroses that I don't
think he has." And what does Grant live for? Hairy Marys, Aston
Martins and an ace game of Sardines. Read on to discover what else
this modern gentleman prefers.
