Luann de Lesseps once had a wild night with Hugh Grant.
The Bravo star, 59, recounted a heated moment she shared with the Notting Hill actor in an interview with Too Fab during her Marry F Kill! cabaret tour.
De Lesseps said she decided to dine at a restaurant in the Hamptons called Pierre’s after her friend told her that Grant, 64, was there.
“I called and said, ‘Get the table right next to Hugh Grant,’ ” the Real Housewives of New York City alum told the outlet. “I had my family over, my brother was visiting me, and I said, ‘Let’s go.’ “

At the eatery, de Lesseps set up what she called a “flirting 101” ploy that involved her sitting behind Grant and casually bumping into him while pushing out her chair — after which she apologized to the British star.
“I go, ‘I’m so sorry. Can I buy you a shot? I feel terrible,’ ” she recalled. “He goes, ‘Okay, but I’ll come have a shot with you if you do one with me.’ “
The night progressed from there, and the two ended up “taking shots and making out … heavily at the table,” according to the reality star. “My brother was like, ‘I can’t believe you’re making out with Hugh Grant,’ and I was like, ‘Neither can I,’ ” she added.
De Lesseps went on to reveal that she wanted to have a romantic encounter with actor Gerard Butler, but he was not single during the time she found herself in an elevator with him.

The Luann and Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake star is set to appear in the upcoming Peacock show Love Hotel alongside Shannon Storms Beador from The Real Housewives of Orange County and Real Housewives of Potomac’s Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby.
An exclusive source told PEOPLE in July that the series would begin filming in September for a 2025 release date.
De Lesseps revealed more about her past love life in a June interview with Bustle when she shared that she didn’t really have a “boyfriend or have sex until I was 18 years old.”
She told the outlet she didn’t lose her virginity until her senior prom, saying, “I calculated it. We had sex in the car, which is so prom.”
The reality star continued: “Jim was older than me, but he was very handsome and sweet. I thought he was the perfect guy to lose my virginity to because he was good-natured. So that was a great experience, actually. Then it just went on from there: the love affair with boys.”
