Hugh Grant got punk’d
February 28th, 2007
Hugh Grant was pranked at the Amsterdam premiere of his romantic comedy Music and Lyrics. Under the guise of wanting a picture taken, a woman working for a Dutch television show approached Grant on the red carpet and handcuffed herself to his arm … wait, they actually have movie premieres in Amsterdam? I thought all people did there was sit around in their hemp sweaters and smoke weed. I guess it makes sense though–if you’re releasing a comedy there’s no better place to do it than in a theatre full of laugh-happy stoners, eagerly anticipating the next fart joke. I bet half the dudes over there thought Schindler’s List was a dark comedy.
NOTE: The handcuffing occurs 1:47 into the video. F’ing hilarious!

Haha I heard about this.
In the end she says that when the police arrived they produced some big scissors to cut them loose and she was arrested. However, Hugh Grant decided not to press charges and even thought (in retrospect) that it was pretty clever and funny.
He also said that Dutch security is the same as our drug policy… which is true I guess.
Viva la Amsterdam!
don’t think so, everyone knows Schindler’s List was fiction
the prankster works for a dutch tv show that teaches young children how to have sex and use drugs. NOT KIDDING. Hugh probably catched a disease now by that woman
