Since the 2000s, Grant has expanded his oeuvre with critically acclaimed turns as a cad in Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001), About A Boy (2002), Love Actually (2003), and American Dreamz (2006). The entertainment media’s coverage of Grant’s life off the big screen has often overshadowed his work as a thespian. Grant was born at Hammersmith Hospital in Hammersmith, London, England, the second son of Fynvola (née MacLean; b. Wickham, Hampshire, 11 October 1933; m. Boxgrove, Sussex, 6 July 1957; d. Hounslow, London, July 2001) and Captain Michael Jordan Grant (b. 1929). Genealogist Antony Adolph described Grant’s family history as “a colourful Anglo-Scottish tapestry of warriors, empire-builders and aristocracy,” including William Drummond, 4th Viscount Strathallan and Dr. James Stewart. Grant gained the rank of Officer in the service of the Seaforth Highlanders and lived at Findhorn, Morayshire in 1957, and at Sutton, London in 1974. She worked as a schoolteacher and taught Latin, French and music for more than 30 years in the state schools of west London. She died at the age of 65, 18 months after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
