A Nap in the Royal Box
Even the prestigious Royal Box couldn’t keep Hugh Grant wide awake. On July 9, 2025, the actor went viral after cameras caught him napping during a men’s singles quarter-final at the Wimbledon Championships.
Grant, best known for his role in Heretic, sat beside his wife, Swedish producer Anna Elisabet Eberstein, as Novak Djokovic battled Flavio Cobolli. Despite the excitement on Centre Court, the 64-year-old appeared to doze off, his head tilted and hands folded in his lap — all while sitting just behind Queen Camilla.
Fans Waste No Time with Theories
Social media exploded with reactions. One viewer quipped, “Well, he does have five little kids.” Another bluntly stated, “He’s an old man.”
