During Hamish's speech, Gareth suffers a fatal heart attack. At Gareth's funeral, Matthew recites "Funeral Blues", a poem by W. H. Auden.

Specifically it's the story of Charles - witty and charming, but at the age of 32, increasingly looking like a serial monogamist: his life has been full of girlfriends he adores, but he just cannot commit to them.

Three decades after the movie's premiere, the screenwriter said British actor Grant, then 32, was too 'glamorous' for the character he had in mind - instead wanting stars such as Jim Broadbent, Robbie Coltrane, or John Gordon Sinclair to play the leading part of Charles.

Who is the Scottish guy in 4 weddings and a funeral? ›

John David Hannah (born 23 April 1962) is a Scottish actor and voice over artist. He came to prominence in Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), for which he was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role as Matthew.

Away from set, however, fans may be disappointed to learn that Hugh and Julia are anything but loved-up, and are understood to have a somewhat frosty relationship.

Over the span of eight years, the Notting Hill actor welcomed five children with actress Tinglan Hong and his now-wife Anna Eberstein. Though Grant has kept his kids out of the public eye, he has occasionally discussed his family life.

The film Notting Hill, starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, was released in late Spring 1999, the “sequel” to the enormously popular Four Weddings and a Funeral, both of which were written and produced by Richard Curtis.

Based on Curtis's own experiences of being a guest at a seemingly endless merry-go-round of weddings, the film follows Grant's sweary, bumbling Charles and his group of friends – which includes his deaf brother – as they navigate love, loss and grief.
