Grant’s Austin Powers Nod
Hugh Grant, known for his charming on-screen roles, recently shared a delightful family secret about his youngest daughter during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live. In a playful twist, Grant revealed that he and his wife, Anna Elisabet Eberstein, chose the middle name “Danger” for their daughter, a humorous homage to the iconic line from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery: “Danger’s my middle name.”
During the interview, Grant laughed about his reaction to Eberstein’s suggestion, which sparked from a lighthearted conversation between the couple. He explained that they wanted to give their daughter a name that could be an icebreaker when she’s older. “We thought it would be amusing if she could tell people her middle name is Danger,” Grant joked, adding that it might come in handy when she's out with friends in the future.
This humorous name reveal came as Grant also discussed his latest role in the horror film Heretic, where his intense performance has earned him significant praise. Known for his romantic and comedic characters, Grant’s role in Heretic marks a thrilling new chapter in his career, showcasing a darker, more serious side to his acting.
Grant, who shares two daughters and a son with Eberstein, also recounted a fun family story about his son’s suggestion to name his little sister “Kevin,” after his favorite Minion character. Although “Kevin” didn’t make the final cut, “Danger” resonated with the couple as a lasting tribute to Grant's sense of humor. The decision captures the whimsical spirit of the Notting Hill actor, who often surprises fans with his offbeat charm both on and off the screen.
