Hugh Grant Was Drunk When He Purchased Taylor Warhol Portrait

Note to Hugh Grant: This is why people think you are a pompous old douchebag.

Hugh Grant has confessed he was drunk when he bought a painting of Elizabeth Taylor that later made him an £11million profit.

The actor was lauded as an art connoisseur when he bought the work by Andy Warhol for £2million. And he was praised as a master of timing when he sold it six years later for £13million.

I am sure that Elizabeth Taylor was delighted to find out that you bought this overrated, albeit iconic, portrait of her because you had a few too many at the pub. That was probably information that was best kept to yourself.
