Hollywood heartthrob Hugh Grant has revealed that he worked as an olive farmer, before embarking on a career in Hollywood.

The Notting Hill star moved to Italy after finishing school and made a living by farming the land.

"When I was between school and university, I actually lived for a time on an olive farm. I was an olive farmer — a very bad one in Tuscany," he was quoted by Femalefirst, as saying.

Hugh admits he’d like to return to the idyllic lifestyle one day.

"I want to return to Italy. I adore Italy," he added.

Meanwhile, Grant has revealed he is addicted to golf despite not being good at it.

"I take it much too seriously. I am competitive. I used to always play snooker for money and I do the same with golf. I’m one of those tragic golfers with lots of money and not much talent. I’m loathed to say I’m a golfer — it’s so uncool and unsexy. But there’s no point in hiding it. It means I’m really middle-aged now," he said. — ANI
