HUGH Grant may be discreet about the women in his private life but the actor has spilled on which of his female co-stars was the best kisser and who he actually enjoyed working with.

Grant dished the dirt on Alan Carr’s Chatty Man show while promoting his new romantic comedy The Rewrite in which he stars opposite Marissa Tomei.

He said you never quite know when you are cast whether the chemistry will work.

“Sometimes you loathe each other. Sometimes hate comes over as love. I’ve had some amazing leading ladies,” he said. “The ones I really got on with are Sandra Bullock and Sarah Jessica Parker.”

When it comes to kissing however he said he struggled smooching Julia Roberts in Notting Hill.

“It’s a big mouth. I was aware of a faint echo when I was kissing her,” he said.

Grant said no one can beat Bridget Jones’ Diary co-star Renée Zellweger when it comes to kissing, saying she is definitely “top snogger”.

He said that he and Colin Firth engaged in a “competitive snogging” contest to try and outdo each other.

“You will have to ask Renee who she preferred. I think Colin tried too hard,” he said.

Hugh Grant The Untitled Marc Lawrence Project, starring Hugh Grant, begins filming in NYC this week by CHRISTINE on APRIL 16, 2013 · (ON LOCATION VACATIONS)

The movie, which stars Hugh Grant, Marisa Tomei and Bella Heathcote, follows “Ray Michaels (Grant) who in 1998 was on top of the world — a witty, sexy Englishman in Hollywood who had just won an Academy Award for best screenplay. Fifteen years later, he’s creatively washed up, divorced and broke. With no other options, he takes a job teaching screenwriting at a small college on the East Coast. Although the idea of teaching is less than thrilling, he hopes to make some easy money and enjoy the favors of impressionable young co-eds. What he doesn’t expect to find is romance with a single mom who has gone back to school.”

BINGHAMTON — Brian Nayor was about to leave the Gas Lamp Gym Sunday when Hugh Grant walked by.

So the Binghamton resident, who co-owns and operates the Court Street gym, did what any curious person would do: he slung his bag over his shoulder and walked briskly down the street, catching up with the British actor near the intersection of Court and State streets.

“I looked at him and said, ‘Hi,’ and he said, ‘Hi,’” Nayor recounted Monday. “Then I said, ‘Pardon me for asking, but are you Hugh Grant?’ Then he said, in a very unmistakeable British accent, ‘Yes, yes I am.’”

Grant himself wasn’t the only indication that Binghamton made it into the big-time, cinematically speaking. The film crew was a big tip-off too, said Nayor, an actor with Binghamton’s KNOW Theatre who got Grant to pose with him for a picture.

“He was warm and cordial,” Nayor said of Grant. “He seemed like a mellowed-out guy.”

The star was spotted in other parts of the city, too: specifically the Number 5 restaurant for Sunday dinner, said owner Jim McCoy.

“It’s the only place I would go,” McCoy quipped.

Grant is filming a comedy, currently untitled, under the direction of Binghamton University graduate Marc Lawrence, according to the movie database site IMDb. Marisa Tomei, whose credits include “My Cousin Vinny” and “The Wrestler,” is the co-star of the unnamed project.
