Ever since, the likes ofNotting Hill($363 million),Bridget Jones’s Diary($272 million),Love Actually($246 million), and many other global triumphshave given the beloved actor a total gross of $4.1 billion.
Grant’s most successful project financially came in late last year, when he teamed back up withPaddington 2directorPaul KingonWonka, withGrant portraying the iconic Oompa Loompa.Wonkagrossed an eye-watering $628 million worldwide, becoming one of the year’s highest earners and cementing itself asGrant’s biggest box office triumph of all time.
