NOTTING HILL - GRANT DRANK TO OVERCOME DANCE NERVES

NOTTING HILL star HUGH GRANT was so scared by the prospect of performing a dance scene for his new film, he decided to get drunk beforehand. The British actor stars in MUSIC AND LYRICS alongside DREW BARRYMORE, and a defining scene sees Grant performing in a music video. And he admits he has no talent as a dancer, and only plucked up the courage to perform hip-grinding dance moves after turning to alcohol. He says, "I worked with a choreographer who said, 'OK Hugh, we'll play some music really loud and just - express yourself.' "Half an hour later I was still standing there stock still. I had no self to express. There's no dance in me. "I had to resort to alcohol, so I had quite a nice day in the end."
