Hugh John Mungo Grant (born 9 September 1960) is an English actor and film producer. He has received a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and an Honorary César. His films have earned more than US$2.4 billion from 25 theatrical releases worldwide. Grant achieved international success after appearing in the Richard Curtis-scripted Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). He used this breakthrough role as a frequent cinematic persona during the 1990s, delivering comic performances in mainstream films like Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) and Notting Hill (1999). By the turn of the 21st century, he had established himself as a leading man skilled with a satirical comic talent. Grant has expanded his oeuvre with critically acclaimed turns as a cad in Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), About a Boy (2002), and American Dreamz (2006). He later played against type with multiple cameo roles in the epic sci-fi drama film Cloud Atlas (2012).
Within the film industry, Grant is cited as an anti-star who approaches his roles like a character actor, and attempts to make his acting appear spontaneous. Hallmarks of his comic skills include a nonchalant touch of irony/sarcasm and studied physical mannerisms as well as his precisely-timed dialogue delivery and facial expressions. The entertainment media's coverage of Grant's life off the big screen has often overshadowed his work as an actor. He has been outspoken about his disrespect for the profession of acting, and in his disdain towards the culture of celebrity and hostility towards the media. In a career spanning 30 years, Grant has repeatedly claimed that acting is not a true calling but just a job he fell into.
I never thought that I could be so satisfied
Every time that I look in your angel eyes
A shock inside me that words just can't describe
And there's no explaining
Something in the way you move, I can't deny
Every word from your lips is a lullaby
A twist of fate makes life worthwhile
You are gold and silver
I said, I wasn't gonna lose my head but then
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn't gonna fall in love again but then
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
And I just can't let you go
I can't lose this feeling
These precious moments, we have so few
Let us go far away, where there's nothing to do but play
You've shown to me that my destiny's with you
And there's no explaining
Let's fly so high, will you come with me tonight?
In your dress, I confess, you're the source of light
The way you shine in the starry skies
You are gold and silver
I said, I wasn't gonna lose my head, but then
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn't gonna fall in love again, but then
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
And I just can't let you go
I can't lose this feeling
A twist of fate makes life worthwhile
You are gold and silver
I said, I wasn't gonna lose my head, but then
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn't gonna fall in love again, but then
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I said, I wasn't gonna lose my head, but then
(I can't leave you now)
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn't gonna fall in love again, but then
(I can't leave you now)
Pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
