"She Has A Very Big Mouth": The Untold Drama Between Notting Hill Stars Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant

Delving into the annals of Hollywood lore brings to light the unexpected off-screen rift between the celebrated 'Notting Hill' stars Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. Despite their palpable on-screen chemistry, their relationship behind the camera was apparently a far cry from their rom-com personas.

"As reported by Digital Spy in the early 2000s, British heartthrob Hugh Grant caused quite a stir with his tongue-in-cheek remarks about his co-star's distinctive features. “Very big-mouthed! Literally, physically, she has a very big mouth. When I was kissing her, I was aware of a faint echo," he quipped during an interview with Oprah Winfrey. This playful jab was, however, less than well-received by his American co-star.

Grant's irreverent humor highlighted a rift between him and the Hollywood A-lister, one that the audience remained oblivious to. Their portrayal of the love-struck duo, Anna Scott and William Thacker, was so convincing that fans worldwide were captivated, unaware of the simmering tension behind the scenes.

Julia Roberts, despite the controversial jest, displayed a spirit of magnanimity, choosing to forgive Grant for his "cruel" comments about her appearance. However, as per Oprah, who has a close friendship with Roberts, the 'Pretty Woman' star is "one of the nicest people I ever met," countering Grant's cheeky statement.

The Love Actually actor was less effusive, responding, "I wouldn’t go that far…" Their private differences sharply contrasted their on-screen personas, making the story behind their cinematic romance even more riveting.

Notwithstanding the bygone feud, Julia Roberts exhibited a forgiving nature and a professional ethos, asserting her willingness to star in another movie alongside Grant. While the prospect of their reunion remains uncertain, fans fondly remember the magnetic couple and their unforgettable love story that blossomed amidst the charming streets of Notting Hill.

Now, over two decades since the release of this beloved romantic comedy, Anna Scott and William Thacker still rank among fans' favorite movie couples. The off-screen drama merely adds another layer of intrigue to their enduring love story.
