Published Sunday, Oct 10 2004, 10:54 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
Hugh Grant has refused to star in a new Hollywood film - due to a row over Liz Hurley.
The Sunday Mirror reports today that Hugh was offered a role in the movie adaptation of Toby Young's book, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.
The movie will tell the story of Young's experiences as a reporter for Vanity Fair.
However, Hugh is still angry at Toby for publishing topless photos of Liz Hurley, who Hugh was dating at the time, while he was the editor of Spy magazine.
A friend told the newspaper, "Hugh can't forget what Toby did to him."
The starring role has now been given to The Day After Tomorrow actor Jake Gyllenhaal.
