Hugh Grant has revealed that he was drunk when he bought the Andy Warhol painting of Dame Elizabeth Taylor which he later sold off on 11-million-pound profit.

Grant decided to meet his brother in New York on a Concorde flight with his dad after drinking at a meal.

The trip saw Grant taking home the Warhol piece for 2million pounds, which went out for 13million pounds at a 2007 auction.

"I'd been having a drunken dinner with my father the night before and I said, 'We ought to go see my brother Jamie. You know, the Concorde's amazing'," the Daily Star quoted Grant as saying.

"We had lunch, drank a lot of beer. And I was thinking about some stuff in the Sotheby's auction and I saw the Liz Taylor," he added. (ANI)
