Grant: 'Sandra Is Like Liz'

Hugh Grant has revealed why he gets on so well with co-star Sandra Bullock - she reminds him of his ex Liz Hurley.

The pair appear together in romantic comedy Two Weeks Notice and there have been rumours that they became more than just good friends during filming.

Hugh told Now magazine: "She's incredibly charming.

"If I said my tooth hurts, they'd say 'I can fix that', and try and do it themselves. I think she's got a touch of that. She also has a very puerile sense of humour, which appeals to me."

Bullock kept the gossips busy when she joked at the Oscars that she was expecting Grant's baby. But he assured people she was just kidding and laughed off rumours of an affair.

Grant and Bullock swapped some naughty gifts on the set of Two Weeks Notice, in which he plays a billionaire property developer who falls for her neurotic lawyer.

While he gave her a chess set with pieces based on Kama Sutra positions, she gave him goody bags of condoms and chocolates whenever he went away for the weekend.

The actor split from Hurley after 13 years but the pair remain close, with Grant godfather to her son Damian.

Currently single, Grant said he "could increasingly see the attraction of being a father" himself.
