Surprising Cary Grant Trivia!

Jake Rossen and Mental Floss present 8 Surprising Facts About Cary Grant.  Grant appeared in over 75 films (including two of my favorites, Arsenic and Old Lace and North by Northwest).

Cary Grant lived an interesting life.  Here are my three favorite facts and my comments on each.  Click over to the article to get all the details.

3. CARY GRANT WAS OFFERED THE ROLE OF JAMES BOND.  (While I really like Grant’s acting, I can’t see him as James Bond.  Well, maybe he’d have pulled off a Roger Moore-type Bond if he had been younger.  All in all — good pass.)

8. CARY GRANT RETIRED EARLY.  (Grant did something that many stars talk about doing but don’t.  Most stars retire and then make a comeback.  Grant did it right.  He retired from acting and never came back.)

4. CARY GRANT REALLY LOVED LSD.  (I include this fact not because I like Grant’s drug use, but because it is so surprising.  It goes to show, you never know about people.  Who’d have thought Cary Grant would be into LSD?  Not me.)
