Death to 2020 is a 70-minute spoof documentary looking back at the insane year that has been 2020, and sees Hugh play history professor Tennyson Foss.
For the role, Hugh ditched his salt and pepper-flecked locks for a shock of white hair, and coupled with some thick rimmed glasses, managed to confuse fans.
One wrote on Twitter: “Oh my gosh that’s Hugh Grant? #Deathto2020.”
Another tweeted:”Yall, this Hugh Grant, I just saw the man in Undoing and he did not look like this. Is this cosplay of some kind, because my mind can`t explain it.”
A third added: “I didn’t f***ing recognise Hugh Grant lollolollololllll #deathto2020.”
Meanwhile a fourth shared: “Guys, no! How old is Hugh Grant? It took forever to recognize him on #deathto2020.”
Hugh’s character is seen talking about the toppling of Edward Colston’s statue in Bristol in June during a Black Lives Matter protest.
Tennyson, who is unhappy about the incident, says: “Look, these people are trying to destroy history.”
From off camera, Charlie asks: “What if by tearing these statues down, they’re actually making history?”
After a long pause, Tennyson replies: “Shut up and move on.”
The film also stars Samuel L Jackson and Lisa Kudrow.
Death to 2020 is available on Netflix now.
