Hugh Grant’s Awkward Apology on “The Tonight Show”
Actor Hugh Grant walked onto “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” in 1995, knowing there was no avoiding the controversy. Just weeks earlier, he had been arrested in Los Angeles, and the scandal dominated headlines. The host wasted no time, hitting him with the now-famous question, “What the heck were you thinking?”
The actor, known for “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” didn’t dodge the topic.
