Hugh Grant about his panic attacks: the price of fame!

Österreich - The British actor Hugh Grant speaks openly about his inner fights during the filming and reveals that he is often hit by panic attacks. In an interview with the dpa, the star of romantic comedies such as "Notting Hill" describes how these attacks come unexpectedly and make his work difficult. "This is really humiliating. As soon as I am offered a job, I start to worry about when the panic attack comes," said the 64-year-old. In order to counter this psychological pressure, Grant invests a lot of time and effort in preparing for his roles, but admits that it remains unclear whether this effort actually leads to better performance or is simply a desperate attempt to control his fear. His new film, "HERETIC" (German: "Ketzer"), which starts today in Austrian cinemas, could once again present him with great challenges.

fascination fear in the film

at a time when fear is both a personal and a social topic, the Austrian horror thriller reminds "fear" from 1983 of the dark sides of the human psyche. The film, which is based in the real case of the mass murderer Werner Kniesek, follows a psychopath who lives out a new moral rush after his release. "Fear" was controversial in many European countries due to its violent representations and was mostly censored. The urgent action, which explores the mechanics of fear and sadistic wishes, remains relevant decades later and still inspired many filmmakers.

The desperate search for control that both Hugh Grant and the characters experience in the film emphasizes the deep -seated fears of people. While Grant tries to tame his fear, the perpetrator unleashes uncontrolled acts of violence in "fear", shaped by a traumatic childhood environment. These parallels show the complexity of fear and its effects on people's lives - both in reality and in fiction. Both stories stand for the various ways of how fear can influence the behavior and decisions of individuals.
