Apr 26 2007Hugh Grant arrested for bean attack

Hugh Grant was arrested last night after a photographer accused him of attacking him with a container of baked beans. The photographer says Grant kicked him and verbally abused him on Tuesday morning before throwing the beans at him.
The Metropolitan Police don't identify suspects who haven't been charged, but said a 46-year-old man was arrested Wednesday night on suspicion of assault and released on bail. No charges have been filed, police said.
That's not an attack. An attack is getting punched in the throat by some crazy guy wielding nunchucks. No, this guy got free beans. Last I checked, an offering of free beans meant peace. See that expression on Hugh Grant's face? It says: "Here, have some free beans. Let's be friends." They probably held hands afterwards and sang around a camp fire while taking turns farting.

Why is this dildo walking 'round carrying tupperware containers of baked beans?
He deserves to be chained & strung up by his heels for this fact alone.
5. wedgeone - April 26, 2007 7:30 AM
Maybe he was feeling a bit peckish. Since he can't get blown by prostitutes in his car anymore, he has to vent his frustrations another way.
6. allyoops! - April 26, 2007 7:31 AM
LMAO!!! Free beans, funniest thing I've heard all morning...
7. Ruby - April 26, 2007 7:35 AM
I thought the title meant "Hugh Grant beaned someone in the head". and he did! with beans!
8. Fifth Stooge - April 26, 2007 7:37 AM
Beans beans the magical fruit
They make your pants go toot-te-toot
The more you eat, the better you feel
So eat your beans at every meal
9. purplefairy - April 26, 2007 7:38 AM
if youre going to throw something, it might as well be beans.
plus well done Fish, judging by the last few days i think youve obv put your comedy shoes back on.

Photog: Hey Hugh ! - I'm having a few problems with constipation. Any ideas ?
Hugh : Try these.

#5 wedgeone- While I despise your very existence, that was a good Dana Carvey reference.
12. Mel - April 26, 2007 7:44 AM
From what the headline said, I thought he was arrested for farting.
13. the chicken - April 26, 2007 7:51 AM
He's a has-bean.
14. FRIST!!! - April 26, 2007 7:55 AM
Who's FRIST!!!?
I'M FRIST!!!
Don't forget it...
#4 I was wondering the same thing...WTC?!?!?
15. jrzmommy♠ - April 26, 2007 7:57 AM
It was actually a container of British actors' teeth.
16. Tha-Flash - April 26, 2007 7:57 AM
Thats what you get for being an annoying photographer. HA

"Why is this dildo walking 'round carrying tupperware containers of baked beans?"
My first thought too. I imagined he was too posh to eat baked beans, or at least if he did he didn't empty half the unused can into a tupperware box. Maybe he uses them as payment to street hookers.
18. fergernauster - April 26, 2007 8:00 AM
He likes the sex kinky. Perhaps he's into stuffing handfulls of baked beans into his and/or his partner's sphincter.
19. LadyJane - April 26, 2007 8:00 AM
jrz, dunno why, but that was really gross. Teeth. Gak.
20. FRIST!!! - April 26, 2007 8:01 AM
Yeah, well they gotta eat too
21. Yune - April 26, 2007 8:02 AM
Huge Grunt has always been such an inspiration to me. I'm going to start throwing beans at people who piss me off now, but not necessarily packaged beans.
22. GooniesNeverSayDie - April 26, 2007 8:03 AM
Police also reported that Sean Penn came to see Hugh while in jail to make sure he was okay.
23. Mugspot.com - April 26, 2007 8:04 AM
How does he still make the news!
24. wedgeone - April 26, 2007 8:08 AM
#18 - the British call it "getting a beaner." As long as the beans aren't too soft, it can be a lot of fun - it's amazing how many beans can fit up there. Just don't let yourself get talked into "frank and beans" because you'll be shitting beanmash alfredo for the next two days.
25. fergernauster - April 26, 2007 8:12 AM
#24... Hee heeeeeeeeeeeee!
That's gross. I like it.
26. DrPhowstus - April 26, 2007 8:12 AM
... free beans... finally! The new Fish dude made me laugh.
On the plus side, he has a future selling peanuts at ballgames.
27. schack - April 26, 2007 8:26 AM
get out of L.A., you twitchy faced, sleazy-dapper, dipstick fuck!
28. lambman - April 26, 2007 8:52 AM
If somebody follows you around, and you don't want them to, you should totally be allowed to attack them. Also, how does Hugh get arrested for that, but Pete Dourghty doesn't get arrested for giving pot to zoo animals?
ps how do nunchucks wield guns?
29. wedgeone - April 26, 2007 9:12 AM
#11 - Yes, that stand up act was probably the funniest I've ever seen. The animated face as she says in his fake British accent "Gobble the Weee-nah!?
I'm sorry that my troll has soured you about me. I'm actually a nice person. Except to DamYell.
30. whitegold - April 26, 2007 9:28 AM
This is a really funny story!!! I actually like Hugh Grant so much more now. Throwing a can of beans at the pap, how friggin funny is that!!!
31. astrologue - April 26, 2007 9:39 AM
This is a great picture.
32. monkeyrotica - April 26, 2007 9:42 AM
You folks have obviously never read Splosh Magazine. He was probably visiting an escort who specializes in "legume humiliation" and lost his cool. Happens all the time.
33. jrzmommy♠ - April 26, 2007 9:45 AM
Tossing Beans....
34. itspat - April 26, 2007 9:50 AM
must have been quite a scene. Hugh throwing the container about 2 feet, with his arm and wrist flapping out to the side like a girl, just barely winging the photographer, who falls to the ground screaming and crying.
35. NCDave - April 26, 2007 9:51 AM
He looks like he's got a great arm and form. The Dolphins could probably use him next season.
36. Ruby - April 26, 2007 9:51 AM
@ 24 - is that the British equivalent of "gerbling"? It's Heinz for behinds!
37. woodhorse - April 26, 2007 9:59 AM
#8 I can't believe you beat me to repeating that childish lame rhyme. OK. You the Man.
And Fish, you were superb. LMAO. It does seem friendly. I would hate to be the photog trying to find a prosecuting attorney to take THAT one....
38. woodhorse - April 26, 2007 10:02 AM
#15 very funny and how astute of you! I am jealous.
39. wowzers - April 26, 2007 10:10 AM
I love hugh Grant, he is soo hot!
40. F-Sucker - April 26, 2007 10:12 AM
Now THIS is the type of story I'm paying to read!!!!!!
Oh wait......I'm not paying.
Still funny as shit.
41. diarrhea riot - April 26, 2007 10:20 AM
He was aiming at Mischa Barton's gunt.
42. whitegold - April 26, 2007 10:20 AM
#8 - That's a different variation, I've never heard it that way, but still just as enjoyable. But I always new the tune to go:
Beans, beans, the musical fruit;
The more you eat, the more you toot;
The more you toot, the better you feel;
So eat your beans at every meal!
43. HughJorganthethird - April 26, 2007 10:40 AM
#32 Thank you. I never knew there was a term for what I do on thursday nights. But "legume humiliation" will do quite nicely. Thanks again.
44. AJ - April 26, 2007 10:46 AM
Geez, you missed out the best part of this story. "Verbal abuse" is actually Hugh Grant telling the photographer "I hope your children get cancer"...
45. veggi - April 26, 2007 10:50 AM
I don't care. I love him. I want him. And his beans.
46. KoRneY - April 26, 2007 11:08 AM
His movies are gay as fuck, but I dig that he attacks photographers... with bare knuckles or beans.
47. Plastic Sturgeon - April 26, 2007 11:10 AM
One word: Beano.
48. bribear__x3 - April 26, 2007 2:08 PM
...?
49. cm - April 26, 2007 2:19 PM
ROFL! Maybe he thought the photographer looked hungry ;) Even if he throws like a girl, HG is still hot.
50. Fifth Stooge - April 26, 2007 2:20 PM
#42 whitegold- Either way, it's equally funny.
51. Truthseeker013 - April 26, 2007 3:15 PM
Can I pay Hugh's bail? IMO, he did the world a *favor*...if only the baked beans had had a cake of C-4 attached.
52. Truthseeker013 - April 26, 2007 3:16 PM
And, now that I think about it, he did the man a favor. He *could've thrown a tin or *recycled* beans at him, if you take my meaning...
53. WTFiswrongwithUppl - April 26, 2007 4:17 PM
Yes, bean chucking is more effective when said beans are left in the can. BTW, where's Jay & Duke?!
54. Fifth Stooge - April 26, 2007 5:23 PM
#53- Jay took Duke to the pound to have him gassed for giving out the secret.
55. Toonkinstein - April 26, 2007 6:11 PM
...and having said all that...amen...
or a witch...so mote it be....
or a scientologist...TCLTC
56. Toonkinstein - April 26, 2007 6:13 PM
#18.... I love the word 'sphincter"..it's a good word...and what beans does it one's sphincter.....it's sphincter-licious
57. sumnersgal - April 26, 2007 6:36 PM
He shouldn't have thrown the beans but I'd still screw 'em!
58. WTFiswrongwithUppl - April 26, 2007 7:22 PM
LMFAO 54 That's horrible! Shame on me for laughing!!
59. krazihottkelli - April 26, 2007 7:48 PM
Ok, isn't this that asshole that was blowing a transexual in the car while he was engaged to Hurley! He is so f'd up.
60. Yourfairytale - April 26, 2007 8:31 PM
Um, #7, I think you meant he BEAMED someone in the head...although in Hugh's case he really did BEAN the person.
Why do women consider him hot? I certainly don't. He's an asshole, but even before I knew that I didn't think he was cute. He looks like Mr. Ed for crying out loud. And obviously, the diet he has will only make him gassy as well. Ugly and farty, not a good combo.
61. krazihottkelli - April 27, 2007 4:48 AM
This bastard is one UglY mofo!!!
62. freejose.com - April 27, 2007 8:02 AM
Is that really a crime?
63. StudsyMcSex - April 27, 2007 9:04 AM
Hugh Grant could have only been cooler to me if after he had thrown the pack of beans he had forced the photographer down to the ground and began bitch-slapping him with a pack of franks.
