HUGH Grant became an expert on Sex and the City while filming his new movie Did You Hear About the Morgans? with Sarah Jessica Parker.

The British actor says he spent all his free time watching the popular show while in his hotel room in Mexico.

“It’s funny because I had never once seen Sex and the City before shooting this film,” explains Hugh.

“We were filming in Mexico and the hotel room only had three TV channels, one of which showed Sex and the City 24 hours a day. I must have seen every episode. You can ask me anything!”

Hugh, 49, recently admitted he’s dreading turning 50.

“It’s not a good number 50 and we all have age terrors sometimes in the middle of the night,” said the star, whose 50th is in September next year.

“I think I might have made a sort of pact with the devil in which I think I can have fun now and sort everything later. But then he comes back and says, ‘Times up and I’m taking you to hell as you’re going to be a lonely, sad old man.’”
