Hugh Grant has opened up about his love life with ex Elizabeth Hurley, revealing how their physical passion for each other waned over time.

Hugh and Liz dated for 13 years, before splitting amicably in May 2000, and the Bridget Jones’ Diary star admitted their friendship remains stronger than ever, as he appeared on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live.

“It did [work out]. She’s still my best friend,” he said.

“The sex bit probably fizzled out, but now she’s my absolute best friend. [She's] the number one person I call in a crisis so it didn’t fizzle.”

However, Hugh admitted that his Notting Hill co-star Julia Roberts probably hates him after he joked about the size of her mouth.

“I’ve probably made too many jokes about the size of her mouth,” he admitted. “She might hate me by now.”
