Hugh Grant Randomly Kicking A Dude In The Crotch Is Always Funny

thumbnail icon: Hugh Grant Randomly Kicking A Dude In The Crotch Is Always Funny

So apparently last night Hugh Grant was leaving "celebrity and paparazzi hotspot" (ha!) The Waverly Inn, and was just walking along with his odd-hat-wearing companion, making some inane small talk with the paparazzi, calling them virgins or something, when one of them pointed him toward a cab and he just walked up and kicked the guy in the groin for no apparent reason. It's awesome.

Hmmm, what does that remind me of? Oh:

Only Hugh is a hero.

Hugh's probably all like "Why am I even getting followed by paparazzi? I haven't been in any movies for two years."

hmm... that doesn't look right...
not that Linds would know because internal genitalia, but when you get kicked in the crotch you don't just say "aww, jesus, that wasn't cool" and walk like nothing happened; you drop in the floor in fetal position, sobbing and trying to breath, and then walk funny for half hour
i demand third person footage or never happened

He obviously pretty much missed and the pap just wanted a reaction clip. Also, if someone kicks you in the nuts and you call it the 'groin', they clearly missed your nads (or where your nads used to be!).

See, i wondered that too. I bet hugh just missed the junk entirely, so that it wasn't so much a crotch kick as a toe shot to the grundle.

Dude said "Luckily, I put my hand there in time." Or something to that effect. So, now he has a bruised hand AND groin. Yowza!

sooooooo if Hugh Grant does this it's great but if Jamie Foxx or someone you guys hate on constantly did this, it would make them 'the worst'? Is that how it 'works'?

no man, that would make them somewhat less of the worst. the worse, if you will.
hugh just nonchalantly cheap-shotted a man who makes a living by stalking and bullying people. that's pants shittingly awesome regardless of who does the pap punting.

I love how paparazzi always sound monotone after being attacked because they're trying to disguise their glee. "Oh, no. Please stop. What's your problem?.....Ow."

"No Homer, I won't make fun of you. Bit I will suggest there may be better things in life than seeing a man get hit in the groin with a football."

Or with Hugh Grant's foot.

indignant paps, like bear attacks, never get old. (i think that's how the saying goes?)

Paparazzi aren't real people, so they don't have balls. Anatomy 101 right here.

Maybe you got this, but there was that whole prostitutes with Huge Grant thing awhile back.
So after saying "Where are the ladies tonight, Hugh?" you can't call the attack particularly unprovoked.

If his name were actually Huge Grant, I suspect the answer to "Where are the ladies tonight, Hugh?" would be "Waiting patiently in his bedroom for him to return home"

Maybe it was the same paparazzi that videotaped him with that ugly prostitute back in the 90's

I love the rage in his eyes right before he kicks that guy. Hugh Grant is the best. I still can't figure out why stalking people with cameras can't be made illegal. I guess the idea is that Hollywood wants the press at all costs...

heronimous

exactly.. i mean surely that sort of behaviour and attention constitutes a form of actionable harrasment? yet it's only illegal if somehow sexualised..

so.. stalk and photograph someone cos you hold a raging johnson for them.. go to jail!
do the very same because you are a greedy little fuck making money off these stolen personal moments.. go to ka-ching!

it's a fine fine line..

The guy getting kicked says something to the effect of "where are the ladies tonight?" I think the person in the hat is, in fact, a lady, and with Hugh that evening. So, paparazzi insults his date, and he acts like many of us would like to in the face of that conduct.

Hmm, I think I liked the bear better. But that might just be because bears are fucking wicked awesome.
