Hugh Grant shares Heathrow airport interaction details

The actor who was famously in Notting Hill shared his displeasure over an incident that occurred at London Heathrow Airport.

During a family trip with wife Anna Eberstein and their kids, Hugh Grant expressed on social media that an immigration officer discretely inquired of his children if the adults with them were indeed their parents, despite all passports displaying the same surname. The actor considered this question as being uncalled-for and disconcerting.

Without mentioning which kids were involved, Grant clarified that the incident was beyond acceptable boundaries. He expressed his discomfort on platform X (previously Twitter), “Recently passed through Heathrow with my wife and children. All of us have the same last name (Grant) in our passports. An immigration officer initiated casual conversation with my kids, then whispered to them, ‘Are these your Mum and Dad?’. It was intrusive, offensive, and unsettling.

Some commentators swiftly backed the actor, voicing worries about the encounter. On the other hand, others advocated for the precautionary steps. One individual posted, “That’s odd. But how big of a concern is child smuggling into the UK?” Another user chimed in, “They should be vigilant in such cases. Child trafficking is prevalent. I prefer they take these measures than ignore it.

Hugh Grant is a father of eight, having five children – Tabitha and Felix (with ex-partner Tinglan Hong), and John, Lulu, and Blue (with current wife Anna Eberstein).

After the article, it was made clear by a representative from Heathrow that the immigration officials stationed at the airport actually work for the UK Home Office, not Heathrow itself. (As reported by People)
