Was there and American actor IN this?


I thought the same thing.


They say that acting requires the use of imagination, and that Americans are too literal to be able to do it well, hence the need to import foreign actors.


I think most of them are working in the US regularly (except the lawyers and the kid actors) so its safe to say these folks were not "imported"

Interestingly, Nicole Kidman is now on her 3rd non-US location filming since quarantine (when her family's Australian passports came in handy). But yes, she regularly work in the US.

Hugh Grant, however, does not "work in the US regularly".


He has made a bunch of rom-com flop movies IN THE US.

Not as many as you think and not in the last 15ish years.


OMG have you even heard of IMDB - just go look him up and shut up.

That would seem to argue against his being a sociopath, wouldn’t it? If he’s haunted by the specter of this child and looks for her in a mate? Sociopaths don’t carry any emotional baggage. You can’t have it both ways.



Good point. But what other explanation is there?


Total coincidence. We redheads do exist!


Wouldn’t the obvious explanation be that the little girl simply represents Nicole Kidman as a child?


That was my guess, too.


It wasn't a wedding dress - it was some lace. No I think it was the sister because of the flash and then the bloodstained screen.

It’s not clear it’s blood and the child is smiling behind the plastic dripped screen. I don’t think that represented the accident.

She’s the right age, running around outside, a puddle reflection of a young boy looking down, a view from inside a car, and a bedroom scene that includes what looks like non American power sockets. My vote is it’s Katie.

If anyone was fascinated by how much a person like Hugh Grant's character could lie and fool people, and then get away with it for so long, check out the thread on Alec Baldwin's wife Hilaria AKA Hillary on DCUM. It's insane gossip- most of it provable. Psychologically fascinating.

He’s not a sociopath, he’s a narcissist.

I'd say he's both, and perhaps was attracted to Grace's resemblance of his sister as a cynical and amusing way to get a reaction out of his parents.
