Grant Fears He Will Be Single Forever
By WENNTuesday, December 8, 2009
British actor HUGH GRANT fears he will never find a long term partner - because he pushes women away whenever they get close to him.
The Four Weddings and a Funeral star dated model/actress Elizabeth Hurley for 13 years between 1987 and 2000, and most recently enjoyed a three-year relationship with socialite Jemima Khan, which ended in 2007.
But Grant is convinced he will end up alone, as he subconsciously sabotages all of his romances.
He says, “I think I might have made a sort of pact with the devil, in which I can have fun now and sort everything later. But then he (the devil) comes back and says, ‘Time’s up and I’m taking you to hell as you’re going to end up a sad, lonely old man.’
“A girl once told me the theory of love avoidance and it sounded familiar. It happens when you draw someone in and then you push them away as soon as they get too close. Then, you bring them back and push them away again. I look at life and I see some very happy relationships, but I also see the vast majority as not being that happy.”
