Hugh Grant has shared a ‘creepy and insulting’ interaction he had while travelling through Heathrow Airport alongside his family on Friday.

The Hollywood actor, 63, alleged that his children were questioned by an immigration officer. 

Hugh shares three children John, 12, Lulu, eight, and Blue, six, with his wife, Anna Elisabet Eberstein, 46. 

The Bridget Jones star also has two older kids Tabitha, 13, Felix, 11, with ex Tinglan Hong, and largely keeps his children out of the public eye.

On social media platform X, Hugh explained: ‘Just came through Heathrow with wife and children. We all have the same last name (Grant) on our pᴀssports.

‘Immigration officer engages my children in chit chat then whispers to them ‘Are these your Mum and Dad?’ Intrusive, insulting and creepy.’

While the incident took place at Heathrow Airport, the immigration officers are employed by the Home Office rather than by the airport directly.

Official government guidance states: ‘If you are travelling with a child (under 18) and are not the child’s parent, or may appear not to be the parent (for example, if you have a different family name), we may ask you a few questions to establish your relationship with the child.

‘We will always do this as quickly as possible and in a way which is sensitive to the interests of the child and the adult involved.’ 

MailOnline has contacted Heathrow Airport and the Home Office for comment.

It comes after Hugh’s ex Elizabeth Hurley revealed she no longer speaks to him after being coupled to fame in that Versace dress at the premiere of his 1994 movie Four Weddings And A Funeral.

The actress became a household name overnight thanks to the extravagant couture gown, manufactured from a mix of black silk and Lycra, held together with oversized safety pins and borrowed from the Versace flagship store on Old Bond Street.

Likewise, Hugh also enjoyed a significant change in fortune – both personal and professional – thanks to his role as the perennially single Charles in director Richard Curtis’ romantic comedy.

And Elizabeth credits their relationship for helping her navigate a pivotal time in her life but admits they no longer see each other – despite remaining firm friends following their amicable separation in 2000.

Appearing at the Bazaar At Work summit in London earlier this month, she said: ‘I was with my ex, Hugh Grant, so it happened to both of us at the same time.’

‘Like me, he’d also worked a lot, and thought he was doing pretty well until Four Weddings and a Funeral came out and suddenly it was completely different – he was a phenomenon.’

‘The film was a mᴀssive success, and everything changed. But there were two of us and I think that mᴀssively helped. When you’re suddenly thrust into the spotlight, your lives aren’t set up for it.’

She added: ‘You don’t have any protection. It was alarming. The press was much ruder back in the 90s and 2000s than it is now. I truly believe that people aren’t allowed to be as rude as they were then.’  

‘[I] think it gives you a bond when you sort of go to the trenches with someone. I mean, he’s married with five children. I hardly ever see him, but he’s still very close to my heart.’

Reflecting on her iconic dress – borrowed as a last-minute favour from Dean Aslett, then Head of Womenswear and Atelier at Versace – Elizabeth admits she was stunned by the attention it received.

‘It was very strange,’ she recalled. ‘I’d been working for a few years, and in my mind, I thought I was quite famous – I had been in a few things.’

‘To my family, I was a success; but I had no idea what it actually meant to really be in the public eye. That was a real shock to one’s psyche.’
