The 12 Heroes Of 2012 At The Cinema

9. Hugh Grant

This arguably tops Tatum and McConaughey as surprise of the year. Hugh Grant is funny, and yes, he can act! The iPod generation€™s answer to Roger Moore actually elevated Aardman€™s side-splittingly hilarious comedy as The Pirate Captain and came off as the most memorable thing in an already-glorious animation, and then showed he can take risks in Cloud Atlas, which has not been released in the UK yet, but simply had to be included because the novelty of the fop off of Notting Hill playing a cannibal in a post-apocalyptic future. Grant has not learned from 2012 though, as he is throwing himself back into another romantic comedy next year. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, eh, Hugh?
