Just one day after news surfaced that evil agenting monolith CAA has lost high-profile client Kate Hudson to rival Endeavor, Var reports that the Hugh Grant has decided that he no longer requires the agency's help in procuring the kinds of stammering-friendly roles for which he's known, choosing to have his legal representation assume all of the baby-gobbling responsibilities related to the advancement of his career:

Sources close to the actor said there was no blow-up that precipitated his decision, nor dissatisfaction with the job the agency had done. Rather, the notoriously selective actor simply wondered why he needed an agency. [...]

Grant, who isn't expected to sign with another agency, has decided to let the work find him and is keeping on an attorney to make his deals.

Even though Grant isn't jilting them for a competitor, CAA won't passively accept the loss of two commission generators in such rapid succession. As we speak, elite members of their Talent Retention Division are being dispatched to the homes and places of work of every name on their roster, where they'll calmly remind each individual of the many amenities the agency offers its loyal clients, such as their unparalleled, "We'd really hate to see anything happen to that cute daughter of yours after the nanny suddenly decides to take a fistful of your Vicodin" service.
