Hugh Grant is in NYC to promote his latest movie, The Rewrite, which is probably another mediocre but not outright awful vehicle. On Wednesday night, he appeared on Watch What Happens Live, which is increasingly becoming a go-to stop on so many actors’ promotional trails. I’m not sure how I feel about that! But Hugh was actually somewhat charming. It was during the “Plead the Fifth” part of the show that Hugh made the most news:

First question: Andy Cohen asked Hugh when he last watch p0rn. Hugh said: “I’m rather proud of this. About three years. I went cold turkey… I now have three children, so I think there’s a correlation.” Yes, he does have three children. With two different women, with their pregnancies overlapping. Classic. And is “cold turkey” a weird kind of fancy p0rn? Because he’s totally still watching p0rn.

Cohen also asked him about his 11-year relationship with Elizabeth Hurley back in the day, when they were one of the hottest British couples in the world. The question was “Why didn’t it work out?” and Hugh thinks for a moment and says, “It did. She’s still my best friend. The sex bit probably fizzled out, but now she’s my absolute best friend. [She’s] the number one person I call in a crisis.”

Then Sarah Jessica Parker called in and asked him who he would prefer not to work with again and Hugh had to plead the fifth. It seemed like Hugh and SJP were very awkward with each other, but he apparently does like her, so it’s not like he was going to say “I would prefer to never work with SJP again.” He actually listed his favorite leading ladies as SJP, Sandra Bullock and Marisa Tomei. Besides, in another part of the show, he said that he doesn’t stay in touch with Julia Roberts and that’s because “I’ve probably made too many jokes about the size of her mouth. She might hate me by now.” He made a joke about how he “was aware of a faint echo” as he kissed Julia but, “She is actually… she was great and very, very beautiful.”

Oh, and Hugh also talked about Jon Stewart. A few months ago, Stewart said Hugh was the worst guest he’s ever had. Hugh said on WWHL: “He wasn’t entirely wrong. I did have a tantrum backstage. About once a year, I have a really mega tantrum and sadly he witnessed one. So, he’s absolutely right…I get very annoyed when people think that I’m sort of nice or diffident or [a] polite English gentleman — all those phrases make me gnash my teeth. I’m a nasty piece of work and I think people should know that. It’s enraging.”
