(LONDON) — Model Liz Hurley has dismissed claims that she found sex with her former lover actor Hugh Grant “less than adequate” before they ended their 13-year relationship, saying he was a “fantastic” lover.
The U.S. women’s magazine Jane had quoted Hurley as saying that the floppy-haired star of British blockbuster films “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill” used to turn her off when he switched on the television in bed.
But in an interview in Thursday’s edition of Britain’s mass-circulation Sun tabloid, 35-year-old Hurley — who shot to fame in the two “Austin Powers” films and as a model for a major cosmetics house — denied she had said anything hurtful about their sex life.
“Hugh Grant is fantastic in bed — he always has been,” Hurley, who still shares a house with Grant in London’s fashionable Chelsea district, told the paper.
“We don’t even have a television in our bedroom. (The article) makes me look spiteful and nasty and I’m not,” she added.
One of Britain’s most glamorous celebrity couples, 39-year-old Grant and Hurley announced in May they had put their 13-year-old romance on hold.
Hurley stole the spotlight from Grant at the premiere of ”Four Weddings and a Funeral” in 1994 with a revealing Versace dress made largely of safety pins.
But she really hit the headlines when he was arrested in 1995 during an encounter with a Los Angeles prostitute, prompting a short “cooling off” in the romance.
