Actor Hugh Grant is planning to launch a career as an author after years of harbouring his love of writing.
The Notting Hill star admits he has long planned to put pen to paper to fulfil his literary dreams, but he's been holding off until he is more financially stable.
"I have always promised myself, 'when you have made some nice films and earned some money, you are going to finally write your novel'," he told German newspaper Bild am Sonntag.
Grant admits he started writing his first book several years ago, but he has not found the time to compelte the story because he is always tempted away from his computer by new movie projects.
He adds, "I don't know if it is laziness or some kind of fear of fialure. I think, shouldn't I rather make a film, earn money, and work with beautiful women?"
