Hugh Grant had some trouble recognizing his “Bridget Jones’s Diary” co-star Renee Zellweger during an appearance on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live”.

While playing a game where host Andy Cohen asked the actor to identify a string of his previous female co-stars by looking at only half of their faces, Grant made the mishap. Among the options were co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Julianne Moore, and Zellweger.
Struggling to recognize the identity of Zellweger, Grant asked, “Who is the one second from the right, because I’ve never seen her before in my life?” The actor looked shocked when Cohen revealed her identity and quickly said, “Oh, Renee!”
Grant’s inability to recognize his female co-star comes after Zellweger was recently accused of altering her looks. The actress addressed the rumours in a blog post, writing, “Maybe we could talk more about why we seem to collectively share an appetite for witnessing people diminished and humiliated with attacks on appearance and character and how it impacts younger generations and struggles for equality.”
