I am not Hugh Grant, people

So far, the most difficult time in my life has to be when I looked an unfortunate amount like Hugh Grant. They were dark times, but I can't deny I did enjoy the faux celebrity attention.

Hey it's Hugh Grant! People would shout at me across the street. I used to love watching the excitement fade as they crossed said street and saw that in reality, I am really quite a different person. It took some "fans" longer than others though, my rigidly British upbringing tended to mean that I would descend into an apologetic mumbling mess (for not being Hugh Grant) which was not unlike the great man himself. It always ended up being awkward.*

I'm over it now though, it's ok.

*None of this is true.
