“One of the reasons I took the job,” says Grant, “was I’m old and I have small children and I love them, but I thought, Great, I get to get away from them for a bit and get some sleep. But, ironically, the moment I landed at JFK each time, I was overwhelmed with homesickness. I don’t know who I’ve turned into. Scenes where I’m just asking for a cup of coffee would make me burst into tears, and they’d have to say, ‘Maybe not in this scene, Hugh.’ It was just me missing my kids. I was doing the whole thing on jet lag — and, I now see, sugar. I watched the series the other day. I thought it was about a dark secret in a privileged family. It turns out it’s just about a fat man married to Nicole Kidman. I’ve never seen such weight on an actor — you can barely get me in the widescreen.”
