Hugh Grant is not happy with an immigration officer stationed at Heathrow Airport.
The Notting Hill actor took to social media to describe the "intrusive, insulting and creepy" interaction shortly after it occurred on Friday (April 4). The post, which has since gone viral (garnering over 2 million views), expressed his strong distaste for the situation that made him and his family uncomfortable.
"Just came through Heathrow with wife and children. We all have the same last name (Grant) on our passports. Immigration officer engages my children in chit chat then whispers to them “Are these your Mum and Dad?” Intrusive, insulting and creepy," Grant wrote on X.
Entertainment Weekly noted that immigration officers are responsible for verifying the last name on a passport, especially when a child's last name differs from their parents. As Grant stated, his children bear the same last name as him, as printed on their passports.
According to Page Six, the Bridget Jones's Diary star shares son John Mungo, 12, daughters LuLu, 9, and Blue Grant, 6, with Anna Eberstien, and daughter Tabitha Xiao Xi, 13, and son Felix Chang Hong, 11, with ex Tinglan Hong.
