Hugh Grant crossed paths with future President Donald Trump on the set of 'Two Weeks Notice,' but he barely remembers it. He was focused on other things, like making a studio executive cry.
Christian Holub is a writer covering comics and other geeky pop culture. He's still mad about 'Firefly' getting canceled.A brief encounter with someone who goes on to be President of the United States would be a defining moment in most people's lives, but most people aren'tearlier this month."The night he came, I had a bet with Sandy that I could make the chairman of Warner Bros. cry by 9 p.m., and I was completely focused on that. It was quite a big bet.
Trump's cameo makes sense, since Grant's character feels inspired by him, but he wasn't even the only New York icon to show up — former New York Mets star Mike Piazza and musician Norah Jones also make appearances.Grant's lack of impression from Trump is even more noticeable compared to how vividly he recalls his strategy for getting the Warner Bros. studio executive to cry.
Grant continued, "so I'm afraid Donald Trump didn't really register...all I remember is that a day or two afterwards, I got a call that 'you've been made a member of Trump National New York.' Which was a golf club. I was like oh, alright then. But I don't really remember him greatly as a person.", which arrives in theaters this month just as its subject is in the midst of his third consecutive presidential campaign.
