Hugh Grant was frankly “terrified” of a uniquely dressed fan who “stalked” him at Comic-Con.
The 62-year-old actor and his “Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves” co-star Chris Pine, 42, relished about the memorable interaction in a recent interview with Collider.
Grant admitted to being nervous to onstage at San Diego Comic-Con in July because he’s “so old now” compared to the hunky Pine.
“I’m passé, and I thought, ‘They’ll bring out Chris Pine, they’ll go mad,’ ” he said of the memable “Don’t Worry Darling” star. “They’ll bring out the others, they’ll go mad. And then they’ll say- ‘Hugh Grant,’ and there’ll be dead silence.”
But as the story goes, Pine declared the crowd “f–king love” Grant — especially one person in particular.
“There was only one person at that convention who really loved me, and he was dressed for the whole three days as a hot dog,” Grant recalled.
But the stalker wouldn’t get out of his grill.
“And he followed me wherever I went. I couldn’t shake him. Do you remember the hot dog?” he asked Pine. “I was terrified. I still have nightmares about him.”
“I know. That’s pretty great,” Pine replied.
“Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves” hits theaters on March 31.

Elsewhere in the interview, Grant confirmed that he is “married to James Bond” — referring to actor Daniel Craig — in Netflix’s “Glass Onion.”
Craig, 54, reprises his role as Benoit Blanc in the Rian Johnson-directed film. Admitting that his presence is a tiny cameo, Grant plays the detective’s husband, Philip.
“It’s the tiniest little moment. I don’t really know why they wanted to do it but anyway, I thought ‘Knives Out 1’ was brilliant, and so yeah, I thought why not? I turn up for a few hours…”
