Hugh Grant was drunk when he bought a painting of Elizabeth Taylor by Andy Warhol for $2 million in 2001. He was admired later on for his knowledge of the art word as he sold the painting for £13 million in 2007.
Hugh reveals that he told a member of his staff to bid for the painting at an auction during two-days of drinking.
According to the Mail Online website, Hugh said about it, “To my horror, she did, and even worse, got it. It all began with drink. I’d been having a drunken dinner with my father the night before, and I said, ‘We ought to go see my brother Jamie. You know, the Concorde’s amazing.’
‘And he said, ‘I hear it is.’ So I bought him a Concorde ticket and we went. We had lunch, drank a lot of beer. And I was thinking about some stuff in the Sotheby’s auction and I saw the Liz Taylor. I slightly regret selling it now, even though it made me rich.”
