8. Hugh Grant - Receives Oral Sex From A Hooker In A Car

hugh-grant_01 Most of us think of Hugh Grant as the foppish, clumsy, bumbling and distinctly British man that he plays in the vast majority of his films, but the real Grant's a little more adventurous with regard to his night-time activities. In June 1995, Grant was arrested in L.A. for receiving oral sex in a car from a high-class Hollywood prostitute. Grant held his hands up and accepted everything that came at him, being fined, placed on two years' probation, and ordered to complete an AIDS awareness seminar. Though the arrest came on the cusp of Grant's breakthrough into Hollywood, it did little to affect his career, likely due to the victimless nature of the offence and the fact that Grant made few attempts to justify the behaviour in the press, simple accepting that he did something not-so-clever. We all relish seeing the rich and powerful fall from grace, though Grant cleverly denied us any such delight, and even earned our sympathy and/or respect in the process.
