Hugh Grant, once infamously caught with a hooker, reportedly was uneasy discussing a "Bridget Jones" sequel scene in which his character meets a prostitute.
Grant, who plays Daniel Cleaver in "Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason," opening in November, was doing interviews to promote the film, when the British actor was asked about the irony of a scene in which Cleaver meets a prostitute in a Thailand bar, Britain's Sun reported Tuesday.
"Well, I didn't write that scene. It's just there," Grant said, reportedly looking embarrassed and adding "It doesn't even bother me."
Grant was arrested in 1995 in Los Angeles for allegedly asking a prostitute named Divine Brown for sex.
The actor split from longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley after the incident.
Grant currently is dating British heiress Jemima Khan.
