Hugh Grant reveals 'creepy' and 'insulting' airport incident he had with his kids

Hugh Grant expressed his frustration on social media regarding an incident that he found to be “insulting”. The incident occurred at London’s Heathrow Airport on a Friday involving Grant, his wife Anna Eberstein, and their children.

“Just came through Heathrow with wife and children. We all have the same last name (Grant) on our passports,” the British actor, 64, began to explain in a post on X Friday.

He then claimed, “Immigration officer engages my children in chit chat then whispers to them ‘Are these your Mum and Dad?’”

Grant slammed the entire ordeal as “Intrusive, insulting and creepy.” He has not yet provided additional information as to what occurred afterwards. His reps did not immediately return our request for comment.

Page Six reached out to a spokesperson for Heathrow, who brushed off responsibility on the matter.

“Border Force officers are employed by Home Office/Border Force. They are not Heathrow staff, and the immigration halls are managed by Home Office/Border force,” the rep told us Saturday.

Page Six then contacted the Home Office — which is the governing agency in the UK that oversees public safety, policing, border security, immigration, passports, and civil registration — but has not heard back.

Grant shares son John, 12, and daughters Lulu, 9, and Blue, 6, with Eberstein, whom he married in 2018. He also has two children — Tabitha, 13, and Felix, 11 — from his previous relationship with Tinglan Hong.

Several people on social media actually sided with the airport, telling the father of five that he should be grateful that staffers were trying to do their jobs.

“It’s for child safeguarding reasons. Be thankful the officer was doing their job correctly,” one person posted on X. Another agreed, “Actually quite proud of the immigration officer for doing this.”

Heathrow’s website states under their immigration and passports section, “If you’re travelling with a child who has a different last name from yours or who isn’t your own, you may be asked to confirm your relationship.

“You can speed up this process, by bringing documents that prove your relationship with the child and the reason for your trip. This can include birth or adoption, marriage or divorce certificates, or even a letter from the child’s parent(s) permitting you to travel and providing their contact information.”

It’s unknown whether Grant knew of this policy in advance or provided the necessary documents.
