Hugh Grant “scours the internet” for negative reviews of his performances.

The 64-year-old actor has had a successful career in Hollywood for decades but admitted that his “masochism and miserablism” always leads him to seek out the more pessimistic comments on his work and he often ends up agreeing with them. S

peaking on the ‘Sunday Sitdown’ segment of US morning show ‘Today’, he said: “Obviously, it’s lovely, it’s lovely. It would be a lie to say anything else but having said that, in my infinite masochism and miserablism, I scour the internet for negatives. I look through RottenTomatoes for green splats, and when I read them I’m like ‘Yeah, that’s right...’”
