Grant: 'I think I'm crazy'

Hugh Grant is shocked at how life in Hollywood has changed him - he fears it has turned him crazy.

The Notting Hill star admits movie superstardom has turned him into a "monster", and he now has a series of demands when filming.

He says, "I think I have gone a bit crazy. I am deeply spoiled. In the bedroom of my trailer on a film, I insist they wash the duvet. It has to be a new duvet cover and pillowcases and they have to be washed at least seven times in non-bio powder. What kind of monster have I become?...

"I was poor and now I'm rich, so that's nice. I pay people to laugh at my jokes. And it's an ego trip. There's no point in beating around the bush (messing about). On publicity days, there has to be a lot of champagne knocking around. I can't do photoshoots without a glass of champagne in my hand."
