A builder who looks just like Hugh Grant says he’s constantly approached by strangers in the street, shops and restaurants for a selfie.

Nigel Lambert is the spitting image of the famous actor.

The 50-year-old says the likeness causes strangers to stop him in the street and ask for photos.

He says his face usually turns red and he quickly reveals that he’s just a lookalike.

The dad-of-four only noticed similarities when he got into his forties.

“I do get mistaken for him. It’s constant. It’s everywhere I go,” Nigel, from Port Talbot, south Wales, told What’s the Jam.

“Almost every day someone will stop me and ask for a photo.

“My face goes red and I tell them I’m not him.

“When I’m working, customers will point it out.

“If I take my wife to a restaurant, people come over and say ‘you look just like Hugh Grant’.

“One guy in a restaurant asked me for a photo to send to his wife.

“It happens in the supermarket, the street, restaurants.

“I can see people looking and thinking ‘is that him?’.”

Nigel says it isn’t just his looks that make him resemble the actor as he’s also a “gentleman”.

Nigel said: “I’m a gentleman. I hold doors open for people, women and men. I’m nice to everyone.

“Once I was coming out of a shop and I helped a lady who was struggling with her trolley.

“I pulled it for her and put her bags in the car and she said ‘you do look like him, I can see what they’re talking about’.

“I didn’t know this woman so I assumed she’d been discussing it with someone.

“I just go along with it.”

Wife Leah, 47, is a fan of the star and Nigel says she has “no complaints” about her husband being his doppelganger.

Nigel added: “I’m flattered by it. We like Hugh Grant and we like his films.

“We like Notting Hill.

“I hope my wife thinks he’s a handsome guy. She isn’t complaining though.

“I only noticed it when I got into my forties. I’m not sure what’s changed about me. My hair got longer and my face started changing.”
