Grant Credits 'Cloud Atlas' for Career Revival

The actor reflects on how the 2012 film helped him rediscover his passion for acting after a challenging period.

  • Hugh Grant felt 'completely marooned' after the 2009 box-office flop 'Did You Hear About the Morgans?'
  • The Wachowskis offered Grant six small roles in 'Cloud Atlas,' which he believes was due to pressure from international distributors.
  • Playing multiple characters in 'Cloud Atlas' reminded Grant of his love for acting and character work.
  • Since 'Cloud Atlas,' Grant's career has shifted from romantic leads to more complex villain roles.
  • Grant's performance in 'Cloud Atlas' inspired directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods to cast him in their upcoming film 'Heretic,' set to release on November 15.
