Hugh Grant evacuated on social networks on an “insulting” incident that happened to him, his wife, Anna Eberstein, and their children at Heathrow airport in London on Friday.
“I just went through Heathrow with a woman and children. We all have the same last name (grant) on our passports,” said the British actor, 64, in an article on X Friday.
He then said: “The immigration officer hired my children in the cat who whispers and then whisper”
Grant criticized all of the test as “intrusive, insulting and frightening”. He has not yet provided additional information on what happened afterwards. Its representatives did not immediately return our request for comments.
Page Six contacted a Heathrow spokesperson, who pushed responsibility for the issue.
“Border forces agents are employed by the home office / border strength. It is not Heathrow staff, and immigration rooms are managed by the home office / border force,” the representative told us on Saturday.
Page Six then contacted the Ministry of the Interior – which is the direct agency of the United Kingdom which oversees public security, police, border security, immigration, passports and civil registration – but has not heard.
Grant shares the son John, 12, and the Lulu girls, 9, and Blue, 6, with Eberstein, whom he married in 2018. He also has two children – Tabitha, 13, and Felix, 11 – of his previous relationship with Tinglan Hong.
Several people on social networks have rolled up with the airport, saying to the father of five that he should be recognizing that staff were trying to do their job.
“It is for reasons of safeguarding children. Be recognizing that the officer does his job correctly,” said one person on X. Another agreed: “in fact quite proud of the immigration officer for doing this.”
The Heathrow website declares under their immigration and passport section: “If you travel with a child who has a family name different from yours or who is not yours, you may be asked to confirm your relationship.
“You can speed up this process, by providing documents that prove your relationship with the child and the reason for your trip. This may include birth or adoption, marriage or divorce certificates, or even a letter from the child’s parents allowing you to travel and provide their contact details. ”
It is not known if Grant knew this policy in advance or provided the necessary documents.
