Hugh Grant reveals he and his wife contracted COVID-19 in early 2020

Hugh Grant revealed that he and his wife Anna Eberstein contracted the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) around February this year.

In an interview on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the British actor said he recently took an antibody test and it showed that he still had the antibodies.

"I had it. My wife and I had it way back in the winter... I had an antibody test only a month ago and I still had those antibodies so I know that's what it was. It became clear," Hugh said.

The actor said that he felt as if he had a "strange syndrome" where he would break into a "terrible sweat."

"My eyeballs felt about three sizes too big and a feeling as though an enormous man was sitting on my chest, sort of Harvey Weinstein or someone," he said.

"I was walking down the street one day and I thought, I can't smell a damn thing and you start to panic because by then people have just started to talk about this as a symptom and I started sniffing flowers—nothing," he added. "And you get more and more desperate."

Hugh said that aside from smelling a garbage can, he even sprayed his wife's Chanel no. 5 perfume "directly" in his face but he still couldn't smell anything.

The actor is currently in London, which is in another lockdown due to the rise of COVID-19 cases. —Kaela Malig/MGP, GMA News
