Hugh Grant revealed he struck an unlikely friendship with Taylor Swift and her boyfriend NFL star Travis Kelce which resulted in them partying until the early hours.
During the summer, the pop icon toured the UK for her sold-out Era’s Tour including eight shows in London which were flocked with fans and other famous faces.
Her second show at the O2 drew in A-listers, including Tom Cruise, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, and Hugh Grant, who were all spotted in the crowd.
Months later, the Notting Hill star lifted the lid on how his attendance at the concert struck a heart-warming bond with the famous couple.
Hugh explained that he first met the performer after he “put out some feelers” to see if he could secure tickets to one of the sold-out shows to take his daughter.
“To my astonishment, (Swift and her team) said, “Come along”. And I thoroughly enjoyed it,’ the actor remarked.
He revealed that while his daughter and her friend were “bopping away, I hung out with Taylor Swift’s boyfriend who is an American football player.
“We did tequila shots in the back of this … hut in the middle of Wembley (Stadium). We got absolutely smashed,” he added to NME.
Hugh and Taylor’s friendship became evident to fans, as he took to social media to thank the 34-year-old.
The 64-year-old penned: “Dear @taylorswift13, You have an incredible show, an amazing and v hospitable team and excellent if gigantic boyfriend (#tequilashots.) (sic)
“Thanks so much from one ageing London boy, wife and thrilled 8-year-old,” Hugh concluded.
Taylor quickly responded to the message and gushed: “As a long-time Hugh Grant stan this tweet is very important to my culture.”
