Maggie’s CANCER battle Last year ended on a horrifying note for school principal MAGGIE ASTONI (Kestie Morassi) when she inexplicably collapsed to the ground, clutching her abdomen, after a party at Salt restaurant.

Hugh Grant, in the flesh, is still that handsome, faux awkie fellow with the witty bon mots we’re used to seeing on the big screen. Of course, time can bring about change – but with Hugh the more things change, the more they stay the same. The witty Brit remains relatively youthful-looking but now with strands of salt among the fading brown in his hair and perhaps sports a slightly slower gait than a few years ago. That all comes in handy, though, for his star turn playing 1960s and ‘70s-era English politician Jeremy Thorpe in A Very English Scandal, opposite Ben Whishaw (Paddington, Paddington 2 and Mary Poppins Returns). Old photos of the MP reveal a stern-looking man, far removed from the charismatic actor who eventually romanced Andie MacDowell…
