Hugh Grant rumoured to play Tony the Tiger, plus cast as Greek god Zeus in new Netflix series

We've got two pieces of Hugh's News to announce, fans! First, the announcement that Hugh Grant has signed on to a leading role in eight-part Netflix series Kaos. The series is billed as a bold, darkly comic, contemporary take on Greek mythology, exploring love, power and life in the underworld and Grant is set to portray the seemingly all-powerful, yet desperately insecure and vengeful Zeus, who has long enjoyed his status as King of The Gods. 

If the prospect of Hugh playing a Greek god wasn't enough, he has also been confirmed to play a role in Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, a comedy which will be directed by Jerry Seinfeld. In recent weeks, Hugh has been spotted in a Tony the Tiger outfit in Los Angeles – feeding the rumour mill that he will be play the famous cereal mascot. Wouldn't that be grrrrrrrrrrrreat!
