Hugh Grant says the chance to finally work with Nicole Kidman was a major selling point that solidified his choice to star in the upcoming HBO thriller "The Undoing.".

When we were in the room together, I just felt like, we could be married, this is convincing.

And it’s very important that in episode one that you think that this isn’t a dead marriage even though they’ve been married for [something like] 15 years… There’s still a bit of spark there, they quite like each other, they like each other’s jokes.

English actor Hugh Grant said he's done playing charming characters. .

"I feel like that part of my career, where I’m the charming leading man, I’m quite happy to have that behind me, and I’ve been doing these much more character-y roles recently, and enjoying them, and they seem to work quite well," Grant described. "And I didn’t want to go back to sort of just doing a version of Hugh Grant."

Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman play a well-off married couple embroiled in a public scandal.
