Hugh Grant says that Prime Minister David Cameron was far too close to Rupert Murdochs organisation, and that he must have known disgraced Murdoch editor Andy Coulson oversaw a culture of phone hacking at the News of the World before hiring him as his chief PR flack. Indeed, Grant warned UK Chancellor George Osborne that it would be a catastrophic mistake to appoint Coulson before the PM made the hire. Grant told The Times of London that he found himself sitting next to Osborne at a dinner party and had to be calmed down by his hostess because he got so angry. Grant, who has been doing the rounds of the political party conferences over here once-yearly gatherings of the faithful, much like Democrat/Republican conventions in the U.S. said there was more to be revealed about the relationship between senior politicians and the Murdoch press. He told the Independent: The more that comes out about all this, the more we will learn about the true nature of the Prime Ministers relationship with the Murdoch organisation. What I hear on the Cotswold grapevine [the tony Oxford area where Cameron and ex-News International CEO Rebekah Brooks both live] is that the relationship was sinisterly cosy to a deeply unhealthy and unattractive degree. The actor, who is filming Cloud Atlas with Tom Hanks, Halle Berry and Jim Broadbent for the Wachowski brothers, doubts whether the UK government has any real appetite for media reform or whether their instinct is to push the whole thing into the long grass and go back into the nice cosy old routine of being in bed with Murdoch. He added that he thought Rupert Murdochs performance before politicians investigating the hacking scandal in July was phoney. Speaking as a bad actor, it was easy to spot a bad performance … my sources tell me he was as a sharp as a tack when they saw him a week or two before, he said. Grant was giving interviews before meeting David Cameron in Manchester last night. He said he wanted to hear directly from the PM as to why he accepted Coulsons explanation that a lone rogue employee had hacked phones under his News of the World editorship. Following the meeting, Grant said that Cameron made the right noises but I expected him to make the right noises. Grant, who as Deadline revealed, backed out of replacing Charlie Sheen as the star of Two and a Half Men at the last minute, has reinvented himself over here as a justice campaigner on behalf of celebrities and civilians who have had their phones hacked. He has always been ambivalent about being a vacuous movie star, and has long-talked about doing something more worthwhile. Asked if he had been wasting his life until now, Grant told The Guardian: That is harsh, but yes. If I had been a complete failure until the age of 51, I would definitely go along with you but I suppose I have had a few successes. But yes, you are right. I have squandered my life.
