Hugh Grant appeared to be asleep while attending Wimbledon on Wednesday, July 9.

The moment was caught on a video now making the rounds on social media.

Though the movie star, 64, is wearing sunglasses, fans agreed that it looked like he was snoozing.

In other photos from the match — where Novak Djokovic took on Flavio Cobolli — he was seen chatting to a woman next to him and clapping for the athletes.

Grant wore a dark suit jacket, white shirt and dark tie for the London outing.

The Actor's Nap Divided Social Media

"Ironic — because that’s THE EXACT SAME POSITION I ASSUME whenever I’m forced to watch one of those God-forsaken movies in which Hugh Grant has played a major or minor role," dissed another individual.

Hugh Grant Feels the Internet Often Twists His Words

The British star feels the internet often 'scrubs humor' and 'context' from his quotes.

The father-of-five has made several controversial headlines over the years, but as OK! reported, he claimed his words are often taken out of context.

In January, Grant referred to how a quote he gave about filming Wonka was misconstrued by the internet.

"Everyone said, ‘Yes, we loved it. We loved it. We loved it.' And when they got to me, just for a comedy moment at the end, I said, 'I hated it,'" he explained. "But on the web, it’s become a fact that I hated making that film. And I didn’t hate it all; I loved making it. I’m absolutely thrilled with it."

"That’s what the internet does. It scrubs humor, and it scrubs context to create little clickbait moments," he continued. "It’s one of the reasons I loathe it with such violence, really."
