Overview
- During Sky Sports’ grid walk at the British Grand Prix, presenter Martin Brundle asked Hugh Grant about Netflix’s The Gentlemen, and Grant corrected him that he appeared only in Guy Ritchie’s 2019 film, not the 2024 TV series.
- The encounter took place on Sunday at Silverstone and was wrapped up when Brundle told Grant he had about ten seconds left before moving on.
- Coverage noted that the Netflix series is reported to have finished filming season two in October 2025 with a possible autumn release, according to cast comments and production reports.
- The clip went viral on social media and was framed by outlets as another live‑broadcast gaffe in Brundle’s long‑running grid‑walk tradition and as part of Hugh Grant’s history of terse interview moments.
- The episode underlines how the unscripted grid‑walk format and overlapping film/TV titles can create confusion for interviewers and guests and may prompt broadcasters to be more cautious in live paddock questioning.
