Hugh Grant says he ‘blew’ his ‘a– out’ eating hot dogs while filming rom-com

Hugh Grant has some serious beef with hot dogs.

The actor revealed that eating too many Nathan’s Famous hot dogs didn’t agree with him.

He spoke about the incident during a Wednesday appearance on “The Late Late Show With James Corden,” alongside his “Dungeons & Dragons” co-star Chris Pine.

“In Coney Island, New York, I was shooting a film with Sandra Bullock and at lunch time they all said, ‘Oh, well, you must have a Nathan’s hot dog. They’re famous in Coney Island,’ ” Grant said.

He continued, explaining that it was the “most delicious thing” he’d ever eaten in his “entire life.”

So, naturally, he ate four of them.

“But what no one explained to me is that there’s some ingredient that has an effect on a digestive system, famously with these hot dogs,” Grant claimed.

“So I was, to put it delicately, very late back to the makeup trailer.”

He said that his makeup artist for the movie was from Brooklyn, and she asked him if the hot dogs “blew his a– out.”

“I said, ‘Yes, it blew my a– out, yes,’ ” Grant admitted.

The actor didn’t specifically name the movie but he and Bullock starred in the 2002 romantic comedy “Two Weeks Notice.”

Unfortunately, this isn’t the only time that Grant had a serious incident with a hot dog.

In January, he admitted to another news outlet that he was followed around by someone dressed as a hot dog while attending San Diego Comic-Con last summer.

The “Love Actually” star revealed that he spoke on a panel at the event with Pine.

“There was only one person at that convention who really loved me, and he was dressed for the whole three days as a hot dog,” Grant recalled. “And he followed me wherever I went. I couldn’t shake him. Do you remember the hot dog? I was terrified. I still have nightmares about him.”

Grant made headlines recently after walking the red carpet at the Academy Awards, where he was interviewed by model Ashley Graham. Some fans called him out for being “rude” to the star, as he gave her one-word answers.

At one point, Graham had asked him what he was wearing.

His response?

“My suit.”

Drew Barrymore later defended him on an episode of her talk show, calling him a “good human being.”
