Honorary César awardee, Hugh Grant has tied the knot to his new wife Anna Eberstein last month only after being together for 6 years. The couple shared three children. In a recent interview at ‘Late Night,’ he told to host Seth Meyers about an incident during the duo’s honeymoon in Paris.
The actor-producer revealed that his wife Anna was kidnapped by a hurried taxi driver when he went to the cash machine for withdrawing money to pay the taxi charges of €6 (£5.30). He elaborated the anecdote and said that after catching a taxi for reaching the destination with his Swedish producer bride, he found that he didn’t have cash to pay the fare and asked driver to drive to cash machine after which the tale goes like: “I panicked and said to my new wife, 'Get out the car'. The taxi driver said, 'What are you doing?''I said, 'Your machine doesn't work so we're not paying'. At which point he kidnapped her. He drove off with my wife!” Though, the actor has not explained that how the matter gets resolved instead said: “I always have a fight with a taxi driver in Paris.”
Notably, the renowned who was antipathetic to marriage once expressed at People magazine in 2015: “I'm not really a believer in marriage. I've seen very few good examples, maybe five, in my life, but I think otherwise it's a recipe for mutual misery.”
Now feeling regret about delaying marriage with Anna the actor at NBC's Today show said: “'It's really nice, I can't pretend it isn't. I should have done it before. I'm just lucky. I've got a great wife. I love her.”
