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.

61. I thought the reporter was really cool. That video infuriated me! What an arrogant prick, he thinks he can do as he pleases with NO consequences. I also get the impression those two were more than buddies. DO NOT let that dirty slimebag get away with that!!! SHOW IT TO THE COPS!!

62. That paparazzi DESEREVED even worse. You camera guys are all scum. For crying out loud, why the frick can't you quickly snap a few pictures, keep your F-ing mouths shut (don't try to make small talk and act like your anything more than the scum on the bottom of everyones shoes. Why in the hell would anyone WANT to talk to you?!!) and then be gone. No - instead you have to push it. Well I hope the actors ALL start pushing back. Hope they all start packin guns. Now THAT is something I would like to see caught on camera. A pap takin one in the arse. Ha, HA!

65. Looks like Hugh is just as upset and bitter as me that Susan Boyle lost Britains Got Talent. Boooka

67. Hey, reporter,you were being totally cool. That was SO WRONG! I am so comletely pissed that he is even in this country. Go to the cops!! Like 31 said, they will think they can keep getting away with that crap. What's to stop him from assaulting the next guy? Or a woman or a child ? These cockyBrits completely disgust me. GO TO THE COPS.!!!

He needs to take his nasty ass back to Britain and AWAY FROM HERE !! Boycott Hugh Grant and let him know he's not wanted in OUR country!

I will respect this photog alot more if he doesn't let this jerk get away with this crap!

68. I hope he charges Hugh, he deserves it. Being famous doesn't give you the right to attack people. Charge him!!

69. I think HUGH swings both ways and when he was asked "where are the ladies' , he felt like he was caught, because those two are probably GAY. Hugh Grant is a total loser. I will never have even an iota of respect for him ever. He represents what's wrong with the world today. I am pissed that he is in the US. Who the hell lets vermin like that in over here and WHY????? Get him deported.

And that cameraman had better take this to the law.

71. Total f**king asshole, Hughy.

72. I think hugh knew that guy from before was a trassexual. Look at the thing he was with this time. Im sure he got caught so thats why he kicked the pap. I say sue is sorry bad acting ass!

73. He was out of line. I really like his movies, but not him as a person anymore. He seems really temperamental. To his defense, I could never be an actor. I would hate my privacy being invaded and my movements restricted for fear of running into photographers.
.
I just checked IMDB and he only has one movie filming, which I assume is in NY because there's no filming location listed. I love Hugh, but his career seems to have stalled... but then he's made no bones about not really liking being an actor.
.
As an aside, Sarah Jessica Parker is in the same movie as Hugh, and her hair looks awful... bangs with her facial proportions is a no-no.
