People Are Saying This Clip Of Hugh Grant 'Asleep' At Wimbledon Is A Total Mood
Or, indeed, during the daytime.
The Notting Hill star paid a visit to the iconic tennis tournament on Wednesday, where he and his wife Anna Eberstein were seated behind none other than the actual Queen, formerly known to you and I as Camilla Parker-Bowles, not to mention the head of the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (AELTC) Deborah Jevans.
But despite the prestige of it all, BBC Sport pointed out that Hugh seemingly couldn't resist nodding off in the July sun, which his fans are now describing as a complete mood…

Hugh Grant waking up to see he's been caught napping in the Royal Box at Wimbledon... pic.twitter.com/d6tczBOIV1

We should point out that the Bafta winner didn't spend the whole thing dozing behind his sunglasses, though, with other pictures taken on the day showing him enthusiastically getting into the game (or, at least, enthusiastically by Hugh Grant's usual standards).
HuffPost UK has contacted Hugh Grant's team for comment.
One of our favourite things about Wimbledon has always been spying which random celebrities have been seated near one another in the Royal Box, and this year provided us with some real doozies.
During the first days of the tournament, Glastonbury headliner Olivia Rodrigo was seen chatting away to Olympian Tom Daley at Wimbledon, while seated next to former WWE star John Cena.
This week also saw Sir Ian McKellen catching up on the action through his binoculars, while sharing the Royal Box with the likes of Richard E Grant, Helen Hunt, Sienna Miller and Katherine Jenkins.
Other guests watching the tournament have included the newly-appointed Sir David Beckham and Sir Gareth Southgate, Marvel star Tom Holland, married couple Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas (who watched next to Mamma Mia!'s Dominic Cooper) and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl.

‘We're creating an illusion for ourselves': Photographer explores how humans have lost touch with nature
Visual artsFacebookTweetLink Follow Zed Nelson spots the painting on the wall behind me almost as soon as we begin our interview. 'It's perfect,' he said. The canvas depicts a sleeping tiger draped across a velvet cushion, floating among pastel-shade leaves and flowers. The London-based photographer doesn't mean 'perfect' as in 'masterfully painted;' he means it's the perfect metaphor for the idealized, human-centric relationship we've cultivated with nature. The painting reminds him of another artwork, 'A young Tiger Playing With Its Mother,' by the French Romantic artist Eugene Delacroix, who used a captive tiger at a zoo and his pet cat as models. 'The Romantic movement in painting began with the human divorce from the natural world. As we removed ourselves from nature, and it receded from our imagination, we reenacted these hyper-romantic versions of nature,' said Nelson. It's the central thesis of his latest project, 'The Anthropocene Illusion,' which earned him Photographer of the Year at the 2025 Sony World Photography Awards. Captured across 14 countries and four continents over six years, the images show nature as imagined by humans: staged habitats in zoos, manufactured ski slopes, indoor rainforests, and artificial beaches. In his previous project, 'Love Me,' Nelson explored the homogenization of beauty standards. 'There's some echo of that here. It's about how this artificial, idealized version of nature is being — I mean, I want to say sold back to us, but we're willing participants in it, too,' Nelson explained. 'While we destroy the real thing, we seem to be creating more and more artificial or choreographed, curated versions of nature.' It's this 'psychological disconnect' that Nelson is most interested in exposing. The collection is equal parts ironic (a Maasai tribesman posing beside a picnic blanket for an 'Out of Africa' champagne brunch in Kenya) and dystopian (a child perched on a fiberglass rock at a beach in the world's largest indoor rainforest, the canvas of the sky slightly ripped behind him). 'That's very sort of Truman Show-esque. He's gone to the very edge of that artificial world,' said Nelson of the photo. More than anything, though, there's a feeling of sadness that permeates the collection: taxidermied museum dioramas of endangered species; vibrant fish shoals swimming in dark aquariums with plastic pipes, captive elephants paraded to a bathing spot for the benefit of flocks of Instagram influencers; a caged polar bear crouched beside a mural depicting an Arctic landscape it will never know. 'What we replaced real nature with becomes an unwitting monument, really, for what we've lost,' Nelson observed. The term 'Anthropocene' refers to the age of humans. It's not an official epoch — yet. But Nelson believes firmly that, in years to come, today's society will mark the beginning of this new era, evident in elevated carbon dioxide levels from fossil fuels, an abundance of microplastics, and layers of concrete. 'The usefulness of renaming an epoch, in this instance, would be to focus people's attention on our impact on the planet,' said Nelson. As he sees it, 'the language of (environmental action) has become sort of tired or stale; you become kind of immune to it.' He wanted to counter this collective numbness with visuals that 'make you think or feel differently.' Bleak but beautiful, his photos reveal a paradox. Less than 3% of the world's land remains ecologically intact, according to a 2021 study, yet nature-based tourism and biophilic architecture, a design philosophy that mimics nature, are surging in popularity. Global wildlife populations have dropped by an average of 73% in the last 50 years; meanwhile, there are more tigers in captivity than in the wild, globally. Arctic ice sheets are on course for catastrophic 'runaway melting' that would see rising sea levels devastate coastal communities. But at the same time, cocktail bars in Dubai are importing ancient glacier ice from Greenland to provide the wealthy with pollution-free drinks. 'We're engaged in creating an illusion for ourselves; either to hide what we're doing, or as something that we can retreat into for reassurance, because we crave the very thing that we've lost,' said Nelson. There's a spectrum to the illusion, ranging from managed outdoor landscapes to contrived scenes that simply evoke the idea of nature. Nelson likens it to fast food: 'We don't want to grow it and prepare it; we just want it delivered to us with no thorns, no danger, with a nice walkway in a car park. We want to consume it and then come home. We are complicit in it.' Despite his criticisms of the 'consumerist' qualities of today's manufactured natural experiences, Nelson emphasizes that he's not necessarily against any of these things: people should enjoy safaris, be awe-inspired at aquariums, relish their time in a local park, and not 'destroy ourselves with guilt.' 'We have this enduring craving for nature, for a connection to the natural world. That's real,' he observed. There's a limit to what the individual can do, too: the kind of sweeping change required to protect the environment needs to come from major corporations and political leaders, which, in Nelson's view, is sorely lacking. 'It's important to remind ourselves, it's not that we don't have ideas for things that can be done,' he said, reeling off a long list of environmental policies that could change the course of climate change. Perhaps this book, with its stark juxtaposition of astonishing wildlife and human interference, can be a reminder of just how in control of the world we are — with the power to remodel it in our own image, or protect and restore the landscapes we feel so connected to. 'When you're surrounded by something so much, it can become utterly invisible,' Nelson said. 'Photography is a way of trying to make it visible again, trying to expose it for what it actually is.' After the call ends, I can't unsee the Anthropocene illusion in my home. It's not just the anthropomorphic tiger on the wall. It's a Himalayan rock salt lamp, a plastic monstera plant and paper carnations. A cockatoo-shaped ceramic jug next to pine-scented candles and an aluminum 'lemon-wedge' bottle opener. Floral-print cushions and a jungle-themed throw. It's hard to shake Nelson's words about our collective complicity; our willingness to participate in reconstructing the natural world, instead of saving it.

Andy Cohen Responds to Martina Navratilova's ‘Ill-Informed and Dumb' Surrogacy Comments
Andy Cohen isn't mincing his words. He's not thrilled with Martina Navratilova's comments against surrogacy. The proud father of two made it well-known during the latest episode of his radio show. The former tennis pro raised eyebrows last month when she shared on social media that she felt like surrogacy was 'wrong.' Real Housewives of Miami fans quickly called her out, and she deleted the tweet. However, that doesn't mean we're done talking about it. Andy Cohen wasn't impressed by Martina Navratilova's surrogacy remarks During the August 5 episode of SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live, a listener asked Andy for his reaction to Martina's controversial statements about surrogacy. He asked Julia about it on Watch What Happens Live, but Andy finally shared his own thoughts on the subject. He also revealed whether or not he'll have the chance to address Martina at the reunion. 'Well, I asked Julia about this on Watch What Happens Live. Julia and I have discussed this offline,' Andy began. 'Martina will not be at the Miami reunion, so I will not be asking Martina about this,' he continued. 'I'm sure it will come up again at the Miami reunion because, guess what? I believe Lisa Hochstein had major complications with her last pregnancy and possibly needed to use [a surrogate].' Although Andy won't be speaking to Martina about the surrogacy comments, he did pose a follow-up question to Julia following her WWHL appearance. According to Julia, Martina's comments were taken out of context, and Andy pointed out how little sense that made by reading Martina's post out loud. 'Surrogacy is just wrong. Sometimes you can't have it all,' Andy continued, reading Martina's since-deleted post. 'Well, here's the deal. That's just ill-informed and dumb. And yes, we will talk about it at the reunion.' The Real Housewives of Miami airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED BY ANDY'S REACTION TO MARTINA? DO YOU THINK HER COMMENTS WERE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT? The post Andy Cohen Responds to Martina Navratilova's 'Ill-Informed and Dumb' Surrogacy Comments appeared first on Reality Tea.

Coco Gauff, New Balance reveal new US Open collection
The post Coco Gauff, New Balance reveal new US Open collection appeared first on ClutchPoints. Fresh off of a huge Canadian Open win, tennis phenom Coco Gauff is debuting a new U.S. Open Collection with New Balance. The sportswear giant's new line, revealed on Friday, features three Gauff-inspired tennis shoes that celebrate her recent triumphs and her journey to the top of the sport. The collection includes the Coco CG2 'Urgent Red and Monarch Burgundy,' as well as two colorways of the versatile Coco Delray: 'Bisque and Urgent Red' and 'Bisque and Monarch Burgundy.' The centerpiece of the collection is the newest colorway of Gauff's second signature tennis shoe, the Coco CG2. Releasing on August 15th with a price tag of $160, the 'Urgent Red and Monarch Burgundy' design is a direct and powerful nod to the burgundy outfit and shoes Gauff wore during her first Grand Slam win at the US Open in 2023. That momentous victory saw her stage a thrilling comeback against Aryna Sabalenka in the final, securing her maiden major title on home soil in New York. The win came on the 50th anniversary of equal prize money at the US Open, a significant milestone that etched Gauff's place in history. Alongside her high-performance signature shoe, the collection also features the more casual Coco Delray. Described as a versatile shoe comfortable for leisure activities as well as the court, the Delray offers a stylish and accessible option for fans. With new colorways also releasing on August 15th for $110, it broadens the appeal of the collection to a wider audience, from dedicated tennis players to fashion-conscious supporters. The timing of this announcement is no coincidence. It comes as Gauff is riding a wave of momentum after her thrilling come-from-behind victory in the Canadian Open on Thursday afternoon. The top-seeded American showcased her signature fighting spirit, battling back from a set down to defeat Russian tennis star Veronika Kudermetova 4-6, 7-5, 6-2.
