GRANT TO BE ANONYMOUS AUTHOR

Actor-turned-novelist HUGH GRANT plans to submit his first book under an anonymous name, so it isn't judge purely on his celebrity.

The NOTTING HILL star is currently working on his first literary effort - a "dark" and "disturbing" novel.

Grant confesses it's far from being finished, but he is already concerned his fame will taint the judgement of publishing companies.

He says, "When I've finished it, I'll send it to an editor, anonymously, in order for it to be judged objectively. Because we all know about editors don't we?

"I could copy out the Yellow Pages and they would still publish it simply because I'm a celebrity.

"This way at least, my manuscript could be turned down by some 21-year-old publisher and I would walk away totally humiliated."
