Hugh Grant confesses he "did a bad thing" after getting caught with Divine Brown
In 1995, Hugh Grant was two weeks from announcing his first big feature, Nine Months, when he found himself in the midst of some sticky legal trouble. Police caught Grant engaging in sexual activity in a public space with Estelle Marie Thompson, otherwise known as Divine Brown. Although Grant pleaded no contest, the news still made major headlines.
Leno opted not to skirt around the issue on his show, asking Grant directly what everyone wanted to know: "What the hell were you thinking?" In response, Grant confessed to doing "a bad thing." Thompson, on the other hand, only learned who Grant was after reporters besieged her house the day after her arrest. She has earned roughly $1.6 million from publicity.
