Video Captures Hugh Grant Doing Down-Downs Out Of A Shoe With Oxford Rugby Players

Hugh is an Oxford old boy, and when he paid a visit to the famous New College Bar the rugby team wasn't about to let him get off lightly.

Go on Hugh, crush a few cold ones with the boys.

The actor popped past Oxford’s New College bar, and the rugby team wasn’t about to let him get away without a few chugs.

Suit and tie, check. Beers check. Shoes to drink out of? Check.

I’ve never seen Hugh Grant do a shoe, goes the chant:

He also does two drinks at the same time, friends:

Judging by THIS Instagram post, he seemed to hold it together pretty well:

Some info via the Telegraph:

Grant, 56, had been invited for a drink at the bar by New College’s rugby club, which contacted him on Twitter last week saying: “Please make sure to bring the NCRFC [New College Rugby Football Club] tie with you next Tuesday for a quiet pint at the bar.”

Grant won the Galsworthy scholarship to read English Literature at New College, and graduated with a 2.1 honours.

During his time as an undergraduate the Oxford University, he starred in his first film, Privileged, produced by the Oxford University Film Foundation. He also joined the Piers Gaveston Society, famed for its debauchery and decadence.

Google ‘Hugh Grant Divine Brown’ – debauchery indeed.
