Hugh Grant reveals whimsical names of his youngest daughters
Hugh Grant, the 64-year-old actor known for films like "Notting Hill," "Love Actually," "Four Weddings and a Funeral," and "Bridget Jones's Diary," publicly revealed the names of his youngest daughters for the first time. On "Jimmy Kimmel Live," he talked about the original names Lulu Danger and Blue and the humorous circumstances under which they were given.

During the conversation with Jimmy Kimmel, Grant was asked about his unusual middle name—Mungo. The actor admitted that his full name is Hugh John Mungo Grant and joked that it indicates he had "not very kind parents." He added, however, that he gave his own children even more unusual names.
In 2018, Grant married Anna Eberstein, a Swedish presenter 18 years his junior, with whom he has three children. Their 8-year-old daughter is named Lulu Danger Grant. "On the day we named her, my wife and I panicked. We thought when she grows up, she might like it if she can say in a bar that her middle name is 'Danger,'" the actor explained.
The couple's youngest daughter, five-year-old Blue, got her name through a suggestion from her older brother. According to Grant, they had asked their son for name ideas, and his first choice was "Kevin" after his favorite Minion character. When encouraged to offer another option, he suggested "Blue" since it's his favorite color.

The actor also has a 12-year-old son, John Mungo, with Anna Eberstein, and two children with his former partner Tinglan Hong: 13-year-old daughter Tabitha Xiao Xi and 11-year-old son Felix Chang Hong. Grant tries to protect his family's privacy.
In a 2020 interview with the *Los Angeles Times*, he shared that fatherhood has brought a positive shift in his life. Rather than following a routine, he now leads a life filled with love for his wife and children, and they reciprocate that affection. This change, he noted, has opened him up to emotions—sometimes overwhelmingly so, which can be challenging for him to keep under wraps, especially as an Englishman.
