Hugh Moron -- Grant Attacks in New York

Posted Jun 10th 2009 10:00AM by TMZ Staff

He's famous for making stupid decisions -- and last night in New York, Hugh Grant screwed up again ... going from smiley guy to angry thug in one foul kick.



As Grant was leaving the Waverly Inn -- a well-known celebrity and paparazzi hang-out in NY -- the actor engaged the snappers in what seemed to be a little friendly banter. But when our guy tried to innocently point Grant in the right direction to get a cab, Hugh suddenly turned and put his boot right in our photog's "groin."

Hugh Grant: Click to watchAin't that just Divine.

This ain't the first time Hugh kicked a photog -- back in '07, dude was arrested for an attack in London. Those charges were eventually dropped.

31. Hey Photog-

So did you go to the cops? You have it on video of this jerk assulting you for no reason at all. I sure hope you went to the cops as you suggested in the video because if you didn't those "celebrities" will continue to get away with that crap. Keep us updated and don't back down from people thinking they can get away with assulting others.

32. it always amazes me that paps are surprised when celebs react to being stalked and harassed. to listen to the photog's reaction is hilarious. "i thought we were being nice guys" "i don't know what your problem is" really, pap? REALLY?? you have absolutely NO IDEA what the guy's problem with you might be? it's painfully apparent that to be a photog you not only don't need ANY kind of education, you also don't need any common sense.

the last case was dropped and if he files charges, this one will be dropped too. why? because paparazzi are cockroaches who ask for it every single day. whether you get hit by a car or kicked in the balls. you deserve it. case closed.

34. Shocking:((( And most of your bloggers thought the pap should've been kicked harder? No, Hugh was outta line. If you can't stand the fame, retire to a cozy little place in the Cotswolds, mate.

37. Hmmm... kicking a paparazzi in the groin... you people have a problem with that... these are the same scum who dove into Princess Di's car and snapped pics of her mangled body before she was dead.
Know this, people, paparazzi are THE lowest form of life on the planet... if they were following your every move... you probably would want to kill them not kick them.
Get yer heads outta yer asses. LOSERS

40. #4 is TOTALLY RIGHT...........that is why it was all sexual frustration. He was dating a beautiful woman, had a great career and blew it all by being caught with an ugly prostitute. He became a laughing stock. Now when he gets drunk, like he was here, that sexual frustration deep inside, of how he messed up his over privileged, over paid career boils over onto other people..........he is the one to blame for his own actions, not the paparazzi. His work is dull predictable and forgettable, he should be honored at the tabloid interest because people don't give a damn about his crappy movies. Maybe next time he kicks someone for doing their job they will kick him back. One kick is all it will take to knock that idiot over.
