Hugh Grant - Grant Ran Away From Panic Attack Cure

HUGH GRANT took up jogging in a bid to combat his crippling panic attacks, but quit when he realised working out gave him a sense of humour failure.

The Four Weddings and a Funeral star has long suffered from crippling anxiety issues and he started running after all other remedies failed to help.

But even though exercise successfully steadied his nerves, Grant gave up when he found himself getting grouchy.

He tells OK! magazine, "I get these panic attacks. So I have always tried to do everything I possibly can - herbal remedies, chemical remedies. Running was the only thing that really helped.

"It calmed me down, so I didn't have the panic attacks. But at the same time, I found it lowered my sense of humour. I lost my edge a bit. So in the end, I stopped running."
