Hugh Grant’s experience at Wimbledon turned out to be, well, less than thrilling. The 64-year-old actor was spotted dozing off in the royal box, which might just become meme material. Video clips circulating on social media show him leaning to the right, eyes closed, as the camera panned away.
Grant appeared to give in to sleep during a lengthy match that stretched over three hours. His expression—defeated by fatigue—already hinted that he wasn’t quite engaged with the action happening on the court.
Naturally, it didn’t take long for people online to start making jokes. One tweet humorously asked, “He’s a national treasure, so can someone check on him?”
Another user playfully urged, “Wake Wake Hugh,” as the memes began to flow.
Earlier, Grant and his wife, Anna, had been seen chatting and laughing together at the match. He was even seen conversing with Queen Camilla, who was accompanied by her sister in the royal box that day.
In the tennis world, actors like Joe Alwyn, Cooper Koch, and Matt Bomer made headlines as they reached the semi-finals. In a surprising twist, Djokovic lost to Koboli in a tense match that ended with a score of 6-7 (6), 6-2, 7-5, 6-4.
Next up, Djokovic is set to face Italian star Janik Sinner, who secured a straightforward win over No. 10 seed Ben Shelton in the quarter-finals.
Djokovic’s impressive record at Wimbledon continues—he’s won 44 of his last 46 matches there, with his only recent loss attributed to Carlos Alcaraz in the past two finals.
Sinner, currently the World No. 1, is eager to make it to his first Wimbledon final.
