Nicholas Hoult & Hugh Grant became car hunting buddies on About a Boy set



Former child star NICHOLAS HOULT became good friends with HUGH GRANT on the set of ABOUT A BOY - the actor taught his young pal how to play golf and the 11 year old helped the bachelor find his dream car.

Now grown up, Hoult admits he has many fond memories of working with Grant, who bought him a golf club set as a wrap present.

He says, "He was great... He was trying to find a new car at the time so I would go in with car magazines and be like, 'Wow, this guy's got money to buy cars, I'm gonna find him a cool car.'"

Hoult admits he did help Grant pick out the perfect motor, adding, "It was an Aston Martin."

LONDON (Reuters) - British actor Hugh Grant has accepted a "substantial sum" after settling his phone-hacking damages action against the publishers of the now defunct News of the World, his lawyer said on Friday.

The actor, a strident critic of Britain's tabloid newspaper culture, will donate the money to 'Hacked Off', a pressure group that helped bring about a public inquiry into press practices.

"Hugh Grant has today settled his claims for damages and other legal remedies arising out of the unlawful activities of News of the World journalists and others over a number of years," the actor's lawyer said in a statement.

Hugh Grant apologizes for Daily Show behavior: 'Jon Stewart correct to give me kicking'


By Adam Edelman / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS


Jon Stewart is no fan of Hugh Grant, who was reportedly upset that a film clip provided for his "Daily Show" appearance was below par. Stewart's retort: "Well, then make a better f------ movie." Oops.

One week after funnyman Jon Stewart slammed Hugh Grant as a "big pain in the a--," the snarky British actor took full responsibility for his 2009 Daily Show transgressions, admitting he deserved the public spanking from Stewart.

"Turns out my inner crab got the better of me with TV producer in 09," Grant, who appeared in this year's fantasy blockbuster Cloud Atlas, tweeted Friday. "Unforgivable. J Stewart correct to give me kicking," he wrote.

During an on-stage discussion last week with fellow comedian Stephen Colbert, Stewart said Grant displayed diva-like qualities backstage when the romantic-comedy actor appeared on The Daily Show in 2009.
