The British actor Hugh Grant 64, reported having faced a “disturbing and invasive” experience during his passage through immigration control at Heathrow airport in London.
The star of “a place called Notting Hill” (1999), who traveled with his wife, Anna Eberstein, 46, and the couple’s children, said she had been offended by how the heirs were approached.
Hugh is the father of five children. With actress Tinglan Hong, there is Tabitha Xiao, 13, and Felix Chang, 11. With Anna, her current partner, is the father of John Mungo, 12, Lulu Danger, 9, and Blue, 6.
“I just passed Heathrow with my wife and children. We all have the same surname [Grant] in passports. The immigration agent pulled conversation with my children and then whispered to them, ‘Are these really your parents?’ Invasive, offensive and disturbing, ”wrote the actor on X, former Twitter.
Heathrow airport clarified the episode, saying that criticized agents are part of Border Force, a division of the UK interior ministry, and are not airport staff.
According to official guidelines available on the British government’s website, agents are allowed to ask questions when children travel accompanied by adults who may not look like their biological parents, especially when surnames differ. The government adds that the questions should be made “brief and carefully”, respecting both the child and the accompanying adult.
