It is these days. He was the villain in the Bridget Jones films, Paddington 2, and The Undoing (TV show), and a pretty seedy character in The Gentlemen, and A Very English Scandal. He hasn't been a rom-com hero in a long time.

As I said, I like Hugh Grant. I know his movies. But a D&D villain? We'll see....

Villain: I-I-I'm sorry (eye blink) I'm-m so s-sorry (rapid eye blinking) Disintegrate.

As @Morrus said he played a utterly morally bankrupt politician in a Very British Scandal. He played it very well and got the balance between charming and being a douche right in Brigit Jones too. Like-able but clearly a bad guy. I would think that was a good mix for a villain.

I suspect they’re moving well away from the hamming up of the first film. Hand rubbing, cackling maniacally just isnt engaging enough.

Also... Hugh Grant was caught in a parked car with a prostitute @Zardnaar not a toilet.
