| Hugh Grant Handcuffed At Movie Premiere |
Hugh Grant had quite the interesting evening at the Dutch premiere of his new movie, ‘Music and Lyrics’. It has, quite amusingly, been reported that a woman handcuffed herself to the actor, causing quite the stir.
Grant was left stunned when Cielke Sijben, a journalist working for Dutch TV network 101 TV, lunged forward as he walked the red carpet at the Amsterdam Pathe and clamped a metal handcuff on his wrist, attaching herself to him, reports Entertainmentwise.
The befuddled actor had to stand for 10 minutes while police detained Sijben and fire fighters were summoned to free him from the cuffs.
After they were finally cut off, the reportedly calm 46-year-old returned to his red-carpet obligation, promoting the film, in which he stars alongside Drew Barrymore. He did so while Sijben was arrested by police in the background.
An onlooker was quoted by SF Gate as saying, “It was incredible. She appeared from nowhere and Grant couldn’t believe it was happening. But he was the ultimate professional. He just stood in silence and waited for the fire fighters to free him. He did look relieved when he disappeared into the theater… she could have been a maniac.”
Could have been a maniac??? I don’t know what the qualifications of maniac are these days, but handcuffing yourself to another person is NOT normal behavior. Maybe Hugh was calm because he knew that it would get the movie some extra press coverage… a la this article. |
