Notting Hill is a 1999 British romantic comedy that broke the box office in terms of financial success and critical review. From the same creators as Four Funerals and a Wedding, the film hosts two huge Hollywood stars, Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, as well as some smaller, but equally as great like Rhys Ifans, Emma Chambers, Gina McKee and Hugh Bonneville. Notting Hill went down in history as one of the highest grossing British films that year earning just over $363 million worldwide and over $116 million in the U.S. alone. It even broke an American record as the highest grossing opening weekend for a rom-com when it earned over $27 million! Not surprisingly, the film has become a classic for fans of Roberts and Grant — the biggest rom-com stars of the ’90s and early 2000s. Check out this list and find out how much the main cast members of Notting Hill are worth now!

He starred in films like Paddington, Man to Man, Mansfield Park, Iris, Conspiracy of Silence, Four Last Songs, Knife Edge, From Time to Time, Notting Hill and The Monuments Men.
