Hugh Grant was not happy with recent interactions between his family and immigration officers working at London’s Heathrow Airport.
“Just came through Heathrow with wife and children,” Grant, 64, wrote via X on Friday, April 4, referring to spouse Anna Eberstein and their three kids. “We all have the same last name (Grant) on our passports. Immigration officer engages my children in chit chat then whispers to them, ‘Are these your Mum and Dad?’”
The British actor further called the conversation “intrusive, insulting and creepy.”
The Border Force officers, who are employed by the U.K.’s Home Office and not Heathrow, have not publicly addressed the alleged situation. Us Weekly has reached out for comment.
Hugh Grant Recalls Meeting Wife Anna Eberstein at Local Bar
Grant and Eberstein, 46, have been married since 2018 and share three children: John, 11, Lulu, 8, and Blue, 6. (Grant also shares eldest children Tabitha and Felix with ex Tinglan Hong.)
“I was in a bit of a panic with my wife on the day we named [Lulu], and we thought it might be nice for her when she was older if she could say in bars that her middle name was danger, so her name is Lulu Danger Grant,” the Heretic star said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October 2024 of his kids’ eclectic names. “[Like] Austin Powers.”
According to Grant, he was in a similar state of “panic” when Blue arrived.
“I panicked about names with my wife, so we asked her elder brother [son John Mungo] when she was on the way,” Grant recalled to host Jimmy Kimmel. “‘There’s a new baby on the way, what should we call her?’ And he said Kevin because that was his favorite minion. We did think about calling her Kevin but then we said, ‘You better think of something else.’ So, he said Blue because it was his favorite color.”

During the broadcast, Grant also gave an update on Lulu and Blue’s latest interests.
“Lulu and Blue are too good at Halloween,” he quipped. “You know those twins in The Shining? The little boy’s on his tricycle and the two identical girls say, ‘Come play with us, forever and ever and ever.’ They go from house to house doing that. They look very similar; almost the same size, though they’re different ages.”
Lulu is also a major fan of pop star Taylor Swift, so Grant took her to see the Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium in June 2024. (Grant and Lulu watched the concert from the VIP tent next to Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce.)
“She does want to meet Taylor, and I haven’t been able to lay that on for her,” Grant said at the time. “[Then, I did] so many shots with him and his friends. I don’t know who they were; I don’t know what was happening, but I do know that I got to the stage where I could ‘Shake it Off.’”
