Being a veteran actor, Grant has had his fair share of failures and hilarious disasters that he would like to forget.

He further added that there was a whole decade that was just the worst for him but one movie that takes the cake wasThe Lady and the Highwayman.
“The thing is I would happily shred my IMDB page, my [resume] because I specialized in being bad for decades really. I got better. I’m meant to be sexy,” he said. “Low-budget, bad wig, bad hat. I look like Deputy Dawg.”
