Actor Hugh Grant, 48, has branched out in his athletic adventures.  Not content to only be a champion bean thrower, Grant can also be found flying from New York, where he had been filming, back home to England just to play a round golf.  While at the opening for his father James Grant’s watercolor exhibition at a Southampton gallery, Hugh spoke about his love of the game.

“I come out here to play golf, since I’m a golf fanatic.”

Can you imagine Hugh Grant all serious on the golf course? I’d love to see him decked out in some of those short pants and the shoes with the pom poms on the toes.

Since he was at the opening for James Grant’s watercolors, Hugh also went on to praise his dad’s art work.

“I’m so proud of my dad — he’s been painting all my life,” he said. “My dad, who lives in London and is originally from Scotland, follows the tradition of Scottish colorists and I really love his colors in these nature scenes.”

The sales of James Grant’s paintings went to support the Southampton Fresh Air Home, a camp for physically challenged kids. All 86 of the paintings had sold by the end of the night’s event!
