Hugh Grant is joking about his infamous arrest.
The moment happened when asked Grant about the reasons behind his outspokenness against how the British tabloids invade people's privacy.
"Everyone thinks, 'Oh, well he's just bitter because he got arrested with a hooker in 1995,'" he said to uproarious laughter from the hosts and studio audience. "But actually it had nothing to do with that because that was never uncovered by tabloids. It was that the bloody police gave everyone the information. It was nothing to do with that."
Instead, Grant said his campaign against the tabloids' methods are because"with power comes responsibility." "These big newspaper owners -- largely non-tax-paying newspaper owners -- are living above the law and invading the privacy of people whose kids are being killed in a road accident or whatever to get the sensational article," he said."No one dares to take them on in Britain because they're so scared of them, especially the politicians. That's why politicians, really in my country, are chosen by the press... That's what my campaign is about.
