Hugh Grant
Tennis Is Fine …
But I Love Sleep, Actually!!!

Hugh Grant might need to sip from a chocolate river to pep himself up a bit … ’cause not even a Wimbledon quarterfinal matchup could seemingly keep the “Wonka” actor awake.
Cameras caught the veteran actor in the stands … chin resting high on his chest, head cocked slightly to the side.
He’s breathing deeply … and, he’s not holding a phone in his hands — so, he’s not just checking his email in between points. Quite frankly, it looks like he’s out like a light — though we can’t say for sure.
Hugh Grant falling asleep in the Royal Box during the Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli match at Wimbledon. 😭😭😭

Hugh’s seated beside his wife Anna Elisabet Eberstein … to whom he’s been married since 2018. She’s keyed in on the action — this certainly isn’t a romantic afternoon nap for the couple.
Grant missed a fairly exciting match … one which Novak Djokovic took over in the last three sets to take the match 3-1. He’s moving on to the semis to play Italian tennis star, Jannik Sinner.
Hopefully that match will keep HG awake if he goes back … or, if he’ll be counting sheep jumping over the “Notting Hill!”
