On Wednesday’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, actor Hugh Grant talked about his most recent fight with a Paris Taxi driver. He claims to “always” fight with taxi drivers in Paris because, “they’re not very nice, truth be told.”This one happened after he married Swedish TV producer, Anna Eberstein, last month. As Grant tells the story, the taxi driver claimed his credit card machine was working but when they reached their destination, it was not working.“So there was this terrible fight and he took me to an ATM and the ATM didn't work and I panicked,” Grant said.In this panicked state Grant said he told his wife to get out of the car while admitting to the driver that he was not going to pay the fare.“At which point, he kidnapped her. Just drove off with my wife,” Grant said. “That was a real downer on the honeymoon.”And while the actual kidnapping was short-lived, it sounds like the memory of the event will live on in their marriage for a while. Grant said that Eberstein is still resentful that he didn’t run after the car. To which Grant replied, “Well it was going at 50 miles an hour, what's the point?”Late Night With Seth Meyers airs weeknights at 12:35 a.m. on NBC.
