Watch Hugh Grant do the worst Jar Jar Binks impression I’ve ever heard
Hugh Grant stars as an odd and dangerous villain in the recent A24 horror film wherein he made his debut Last weekend, $11 million. At one point in the movie he gives an impression of Jar-Jar Binks and others, which is the worst impression of a hated alien I’ve ever heard.
a movie about two young women who quickly regret entering the house of Grant’s heroine, hit theaters on November 8 and has already turn into certainly one of A24’s most profitable photosbeating similar movies and in only just a few days. Impressive stuff! A not-so-impressive moment in the film is when Hugh Grant’s character briefly takes on the role of Jar-Jar Binks.
On November 12, a clip from Heretic was released showing Grant’s character talking about how in the future people would worship Jar-Jar Binks as a non secular figure. The clip was later “borrowed” and Reposted by DiscussingFilm on Twitter, where the explosion occurred.
Jar-Jar first appeared in 1999 and folks hated him. The negative response and insults forced Jar-Jar actor Ahmed Best to almost commit suicide. But since then he has recovered, has an exquisite family and is back in sports the evil Jedi who saved Grogu.
In any case, I actually have to assume that Hugh Grant is aware of who Jar-Jar Binks is and has at the least reviewed one video of the character speaking. So I’m assuming this terrible impersonation is intentional and an example of the character not knowing much about who Jar-Jar is, which may very well be a sign of how much he might be trusted.
Or perhaps Grant did it, everyone on set stayed silent, he took it as an indication of success and moved on, and nobody had the heart to say it was improper. Either way, I might pay money to see Grant play more characters. Give me your best Jabba or Yoda, dude.
is now available in cinemas. Don’t boo the screen when he happens to be impersonating Jar-Jar. All right?
