Hugh Grant is a frequent scene-stealer in Guy Ritchie's latest gangster flick The Gentlemen, playing hilariously weaselly cockney private investigator Fletcher.

But despite the excellence of his performance and the fairly substantial size of the role, Grant filmed his entire part in just four-and-a-half days.

Co-star Charlie Hunnam was astonished at how much material Grant worked through during his brief time on set:

"We actually didn't spend that much time together. It was about four and half days, I think, in total. Which really is extraordinary when you see the end result - which I haven't, but I can imagine. Hugh delivers somewhere in the region of 45 pages of monologue, but yeah it was all shot in about four and half days I think."
