- LOS ANGELES: British actor Hugh Grant was approached to replace Charlie Sheen in a revamped version of top-rated US TV comedy “Two and A Half Men,” industry website Deadline Hollywood has reported.
But final talks with the “Bridget Jones’s Diary” star were reported to have stalled this week due to what Deadline Hollywood described as “creative differences.” Sheen, whose role as a womanizing bachelor made him the highest paid actor in US television, was fired in March. His exit left program maker Warner Bros. Television and broadcaster CBS in disarray over the expected 9th season of the show in the fall. With just a week before CBS presents its new 2011-12 program lineup to advertisers in New York, the network has yet to announce its plans for the money-spinning No.1 comedy.
