Hugh Grant was caught taking a nap at Wimbledon, much to the delight of internet users. The 64-year-old actor was seen dozing off in his chair next to his wife, Anna Elisabet Eberstein, during a men’s singles match between Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli at London’s Centre Court. Grant, sporting black sunglasses, a dark jacket, and a white shirt, became an instant meme as photos of him sleeping circulated online.
Despite Grant’s apparent snooze fest, some tennis fans were not amused. One critic pointed out that people had been queuing since 3 am to watch the match, and Grant sleeping through it was considered rude. However, others found humor in the situation, with one fan commenting that Grant still looked hot and stylish even while asleep.
The sight of Grant catching some z’s was made even more noteworthy by the presence of Queen Camilla sitting right in front of him in the Royal Box section. While Grant was taking a nap, the Queen remained alert and attentive as Djokovic secured a victory over Cobolli.
Before the match began, Camilla greeted tennis legend Billie Jean King and exchanged pleasantries with Djokovic, thanking him for his presence. The crowd applauded as Camilla took her seat in the Royal Box, where she was seen chatting with Grant during a break in the game.
As Wimbledon continues, more celebrities are expected to attend the matches. Royal expert Rebecca English has predicted that Kate Middleton may make an appearance at Wimbledon this month, with the women’s and men’s finals scheduled for July 12 and 13, respectively. Other celebrities spotted at Wimbledon include Andrew Garfield, Olivia Rodrigo, Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, and Tom Holland, among others.
Overall, Grant’s impromptu nap at Wimbledon may have caused a stir, but it added a touch of humor to the prestigious event. As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on the court, as well as on the celebrities in attendance.
