Hugh Grant and Nicholas Hoult had a heartwarming reunion over 20 years after appearing in the 2002 rom-com “About a Boy.”Grant, 64, posted a sweet side-by-side with Hoult, 34, from the movie with a photo taken outside the 15th Governors Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Nov.17.The former co-stars both attended the star-studded event, with Grant delivering a funny speech while honoring British screenwriter Richard Curtis.
