Hugh Grant Was In Deep Negotiations to Replace Charlie Sheen on 'Two & A Half Men' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 05-11-2011, 01:18 PM

I've learned that one-time bad boy Hugh Grant was deep into final negotiations to replace Charlie Sheen as the lead on Two And A Half Men until he pulled out last night at the last minute due to creative differences. Insiders tell me he'd been offered more than $1 million an episode, which is the sort of $25M-a-year payday Grant doesn't get from movies anymore. All along insiders at Warner Bros and CBS had been saying that they were going after "an A-lister" as the new star of the top-rated sitcom after Sheen was fired, and Hugh sure fits the bill. (Let me tell you, I would have watched that show!) CBS has been working hard to announce the return of the show and its new star at next week's upfronts. Maybe Grant will reconsider. Let's hope.

I hate this show but for that kind of money, I'll do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Hugh Grant, but this show will not work with anyone replacing Charlie Sheen.

This show was created for him and is built around his character.

Would you actually be comfortable accepting money for a role that uses women as sexual toys and then discards them as if they were used toilet tissue? HHMMMM.....??

Good points!! But when you're broke and have had no luck finding a lasting job...

What a shame! I wouldn't mind watching Hugh Grant every week. He's cute.

Dr. Thong · 05-14-2011, 10:57 AM

And he's got hooker experience.

I heard about that with Hugh Grant. It's a shame. It happened several years ago. He did time for it and moved on to a better life.

Although IMO, he could have picked a better one.

IS there actually such a thing as a "better" hooker???

Dr. Thong · 05-23-2011, 01:02 PM

Well, I imagine if you patronize enough of them, you get to know the good, the bad and the STD.

I think Hugh Grant would have been ridiculous. He's British, for Heaven's sake.
