Did Hugh Grant Fall Asleep at Wimbledon?

If you’re a celebrity and you want to be photographed, get a ticket to Wimbledon. There are cameras everywhere, just waiting to capture the rich and famous kissing their girlfriends or sipping a Pimm’s Cup at the tennis tournament. Unfortunately for Hugh Grant, he seems to have been caught doing something much less glamorous: Catching up on his nap time.

During the Novak Djokovic vs. Flavio Cobolli match on Wednesday, Grant appeared to be snoozing away while he was seated beside his wife, Anna Elisabet Eberstein, in the Royal Box. In several posts to X, the actor can be seen with his shades on, hands together, and tie askew, looking like he’s getting the best sleep of his life. Of all the places in the world to hit REM, Wimbledon has to be the chicest.

Sure, his sunglasses are dark enough for him to maybe have been awake, but honestly, I don’t blame him for sleeping if he was. Have you ever been to a tennis match? It’s quiet. The crowds aren’t cheering, it’s hot, and the tennis ball hitting the pavement basically counts as white noise. Boring! Anyway, I’m sure Grant will survive this. It sounds like a far better experience for him than playing an Oompa Loompa, anyway.
