Hugh Grant delighted a fan earlier this week, when he let the passerby press a button to start his £925k ($1.2m) Ferrari F12tdf.
The Notting Hill star, 64, looked suave as ever in a clip shared on TikTok, in which the fan leant into the car to press the button that starts the supercar, which is described as ‘a high-performance, track-focused variant of the F12berlinetta’.
Opting for a sleek silver colour in his choice of vehicle, Hugh, whose net worth sits at an estimated £111m ($150m), was more than happy to indulge the fan.
The sweet exchange occured outside the Bluerider art gallery in Mayfair.
In the video shared on the site, the user shared the caption: ‘I started hugh grants f12 tdf . #hughgrant #ferrari #f12tdf #supercar #london’.
TikTok users flooded the comments section of the video, writing: ‘Never seen a single clip where I’ve not liked the guy… If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around…

‘He’s normally a bit blunt with people so letting you start it is really nice of him!… Class act what a nice person… obsessed that Hugh Grant has become a somewhat jolly old fella in this elderly age’.
The sighting comes shortly after Hugh condemned schools for indulging pupils’ screen addictions – as the actor called for laptops and tablets to be barred from classrooms.
The Hollywood star and father-of-five made the call at a campaigning event at a school in west London, as he also criticised education chiefs for restrictions on children playing outside.
Notting Hill and Four Weddings And A Funeral star Hugh accused schools of making ‘pathetic’ calls on what their students were allowed to do.
And he described himself as ‘another angry parent fighting the eternal, exhausting and depressive battle with children who only want to be on a screen’.

He took part in the move organised by group Close Screens, Open Minds – appearing alongside US psychologist Dr Jonathan Haidt as well as actress Sophie Winkleman who is wed to King Charles’s second cousin Lord Frederick Windsor.
The event took place at Knightsbridge School in west London, a nearby district to Kensington where Grant has previously owned homes including a penthouse that was advertised for sale for almost £8million in 2021.
Some 98 per cent of teachers now use technology in classrooms across primary and secondary schools
Grant, who has been married since 2018 to Swedish TV producer Anna Eberstein, lambasted classroom Chromebooks for pupils as ‘the last f***ing thing they need’.
