Believe it or not, Hugh Grant has never seen Mommie Dearest. One of the greatest movies that has ever been made. Even though he has never seen it, that didn’t stop him from reading a scene for the film for W Magazine. The scene is the one when Joan Crawford finds out Christina has some clothes hanging from wire hangers. As we know the legendary actress beats her adopted daughter with them in the feature.
Since Grant never saw the movie, he didn’t know that. He tried his best to capture the moment, but it just wasn’t his best work. He gave it his all, but Crawford would’ve beat him with some wire hangers for it. It was her thing, right?
Anyways, I hope Grant sees the movie and tries it again because I would love to see him try that again when he understands the context of it. How cool would it be to see him really lose his sh!t just like Faye Dunaway did so brilliantly with those wire hangers.
