Four Weddings And A Funeral actor Hugh Grant has revealed that when it came to naming his two youngest daughters - he wanted to make their names legendary.
And this may explain why one of his daughters is called Lulu Danger Grant, while the other is named Blue Grant. The 64 year old star, who is starring in his latest film titled Heretic, made his admission during an interview American talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Hugh has five children Felix, and Tabitha, are from his former partner Tinglan Hong and John, Lulu Danger and Blue, are from his wife Anna Eberstein. Prior to his admission, Hugh had remained tight-lipped over their names. Promoting his latest movie he said:" I have a daughter who I named…I was in a bit of a panic with my wife on the day we named her and we thought it might be nice for her when she was older if she could say in bars that her middle name was Danger. So her name is Lulu Danger Grant."
He continued: "My children love it [Halloween]. They love it. Actually, Lulu Danger Grant and her sister Blue Grant, named Blue because again I panicked about names with my wife so we asked [Lulu's] elder brother when she was on the way. We said, 'there's a new baby coming along, what should we call her?' And he said, 'Kevin,' because that was his favourite Minion. And we did think about calling her Kevin but then we said, 'you better think of something else.' So he said ‘Blue’, because it was his favourite colour."
At the beginning stages of his career Hugh revealed that his parents were not impressed by his choice of profession and instead wanted him to become a priest. While on the Graham Norton show, he admitted: "They were not at all supportive. My mother was a churchgoer and wanted me to be the Archbishop of Canterbury. In their world showbusiness meant nothing.

Another guest said, ‘How very interesting, which bank?.’ That’s the world I grew up in."
The Hollywood star recently revealed that he downed tequila shots with Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce, while at one of her concerts. The star attended one of her London concerts in June, along with his wife and one of his daughters.
Speaking to Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, he explained: "I loved it. Couldn't have enjoyed it more. They were so nice to us. And she (his daughter) was bopping up and down." He added: "And, meanwhile, I was doing tequila shots with Taylor Swift's very nice boyfriend, whose name has slipped my mind Travis. We went crazy."
