Hugh Grant recently admitted that his Covid-19 experience was so bad, that it made him sniff garbage cans. The actor and his wife, Anna Eberstein, have recovered from the virus after they had battled it early on during the pandemic. Here’s what he has to say.
During an interview with Stephen Colbert this week, the Hollywood actor revealed that he began experiencing symptoms in February, and a few weeks before the world went on lockdown in March. He said that it was so bad that he thought he was losing his sense of smell.
Hugh Grant Said His Covid-19 Experience Had Him Sniffing Garbage Cans
“It started as just a very strange syndrome where I kept breaking into a terrible sweat,” the 60-year-old said on The Late Show. “It was like a poncho of sweat, embarrassing really. Then my eyeballs felt about three sizes too big and this…a feeling as though an enormous man was sitting on my chest, Harvey Weinstein or someone.”
When Hugh realized that he couldn’t smell anything while he was walking down the street, that’s when he apparently began to panic.
“By then people were just starting to talk about this as a symptom,” he told Colbert. “And I started sniffing flowers, nothing. And you get more and more desperate. I started sniffing in garbage cans. You know, you want to sniff strangers’ armpits because you just can’t smell anything.”
“I eventually went home and I sprayed my wife’s Chanel No. 5 directly into my face,” Grant continued. “Couldn’t smell a thing, but I did go blind.”
The handsome British actor also shared that he has antibodies after recovering from the virus.
“I’ve had an antibody test, only a month ago,” the Love Actually actor said. “I still have those antibodies, so I know that’s what it was.”
