Hugh Grant, 46, movie star and celebrity was arrested on suspicion for hurling a tub of baked beans and kicking at a photographer named Ian Whittaker near his home in London. He was released on bail after voluntarily turning himself in for questioning over the alleged incident. He has to return to the Notting Hill police station in a month to continue the investigation into the incident.

This may be a “warm-up” for Grants possible appearance as an evil villain in the TV series “Doctor Who”. It’s been confirmed that he is in talks for a possible role in an upcoming episode. He once turned down an offer to play the lead role of the Doctor in the long running sci-fi classic about a time and space traveling “Time Lord”. The lead Time Lord role has been played by quite a few different people over the years with the most famous one being Tom Baker who played the fourth doctor from 1974 to 1981.

Grant said: “I was offered the role of the Doctor a few years back and was highly flattered. The danger with those things is that it’s only when you see it on screen that you think, ‘Damn, that was good, why did I say no?’ But then, knowing me, I’d probably make a mess of it.” “I’m in talks about a one-off role. I’d prefer to be a baddie. They’re always more fun.”

And lets not forget about Grants incident with the hooker Divine Brown where he was caught in the act and plead guilty to a misdemeanor lewd act in 1995, sentenced to two years probation and a fine. Maybe this is a return to his bad boy, evil roots of his younger days.

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
