Hugh Grant has spoken about missing the good old days, when co-stars could get drunk and socialize on movie sets.
“Movies are so weird now,” Grant, 62, said during an appearance on Monday night’s “Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”
“They’re weird because earlier, by the end of the second week, you were all drunk at night and having dinner and falling in love and all that. All of that stopped because of the phones. Everyone goes home and looks at Twitter. It is so sad.”
Grant was on the late-night talk show to promote his new epic fantasy film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which premiered Friday and which stars Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and Regé-Jean Page played.
Grant, who stars in the film based on the popular game, previously admitted to having “tantrums” on set during filming.

Grant recently caused controversy during the Oscars after his red carpet interview with model Ashley Graham went viral. The public was divided, with some people calling his brusque replies rude while others defended the British actor, saying Graham was the ignorant one.
Grant, of course, is famous for his own antics throughout his long career — including his 1995 arrest in California with a prostitute in his car while still in a relationship with then-girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley.

On his Monday night show, Colbert Grant asked if there would be more affairs if people on set weren’t strapped to their smartphones.
“Yes, I think so,” Grant replied. “You know, Tarantino has banned phones from his device, and rightly so. And the people there all fuck each other, I’m told.”
