{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}British star Hugh Grant believes there would be more affairs and love, actually, on film sets if not for smartphones.
While discussing his upcoming project "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," Grant reflected on the industry and how it has changed.
"Films are so weird now," he told Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"You know in the old days … by the end of the second week, you were all getting drunk in the evening and having dinner and falling in love with each other, and all that."
"And all that stopped ‘cause of telephones … Everyone goes home and looks at Twitter," Grant lamented. "It’s so sad."

Colbert then asked Grant if he believed the number of affairs would increase on movie sets if there were no phones.
"Yeah, I think so. You know [Quentin] Tarantino bans telephones from his set. Quite right, too," he shared of the famed director.
"And then the people there do all shag each other. So I'm told," he added.
