Well this couldn't be more awkward.
Hugh Grant, who stars in A Very English Scandal (released today for streaming on Amazon Prime), spoke with Stephen Colbert earlier this week about watching his gay sex scene between him and actor Ben Whishaw… with his 89-year-old father.
The miniseries is split up into three parts and follow the real-life gay sex scandal between British Parliament member Jeremy Thorpe (Grant) and ex-model Norman Scott (Whishaw).
“I haven’t watched it with my small children. They prefer Paddington,” Grant said to Colbert this week. “I did have to watch it with my 89-year-old ex-military father. He said to me,’Now, now, you’re in this buggers film. And I said, ’Yes, that’s right.’ LOL.
“He said, ’Well, let’s watch it.’ And I said, ’No, Dad, you’re not going to like this.’ And he said, ’I’m a very supportive father I want to watch it, I’ve got a television set upstairs. If you show me how to work it, we’ll watch it together.'”
At the end of the day, Grant said that his father thought that Paddington was ultimately more enjoyable to watch. Watch the clip below:
