Hugh Grant returns triumphantly to the big screen withFlorence Foster Jenkins, which arrives in theaters this Friday.
I was enjoying having a break and doing something else, he tells EW.
I think to do the same job for 50 years is slightly odd.

I have other priorities, other interests.
After all these years its quite nice to have something that has nothing to do with make-believe.
I have this absurd syndrome where I get these out-of-the-blue pathetic panic attacks, Grant says.
Frankly, I think Im marvelous in rehearsal!
Then you turn the camera on, and it gets stiff and tight.
And then you trudge back to your trailer feeling sad.
Thats been my experience of film acting.
Those who know him are quick to point out that Grant is his own harshest critic.
He is very hard on himself, hisFlorence Foster Jenkinscostar, Meryl Streep, says via email.
Deft as he is, he wants it to be perfect.
Because hes a perfectionist.
He is always so incredibly prepared.
