Hugh Grant was captured dozing off during the Wimbledon 2025 quarterfinal match between Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli on Thursday. The surprising moment quickly went viral on social media, and the 64-year-old actor became a part of the meme pages online as soon as it surfaced on the internet.

In the viral picture, Grant was sitting in the Royal Box beside his wife, Anna Eberstein. The Notting Hill actor was caught on camera wearing sunglasses with his head slumped to one side and his hand resting in his lap.

The moment the clip surfaced on the internet, it quickly went viral, with social media users commenting on how sleepy the actor looked.

Apart from the viral clip, another photo surfaced showing the 64-year-old leaning to his right just behind Queen Camilla and her sister. However, in another moment, Grant was spotted chatting with the royals, and he looked completely awake.

While other celebrities, including Cate Blanchett, Glen Powell, and Joe Alwyn, were also captured attending the match, the fact can't be denied that it was Hugh Grant's nap that grabbed the eyeballs of netizens on social media.

While according to one, "How can anyone fall asleep during a tennis match when Novak Djokovic is playing?"

"Hugh Grant falling asleep in the Royal Box during the Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli match at Wimbledon." Quick - send Hugh Grant into the House of Lords immediately."

I was wondering who that was! 😂
