Hugh Grant claims animals are sexually attracted to him. The British actor says most dogs lust after him and try and hump his leg. Hugh was being interviewed by talk show host Jay Leno, when he made his amorous animal claim.

He said: "I used to play football in a park in front of my house but I had to give it up because every time I bent over to do up my shoelaces there was a stray dog called Sandy that used to try to mate with me."

The actor also explained his girlfriend Jemima Khan had to give away her pet dog after it became too attached to him. Hugh explained: "My girlfriend had a pet dog but we had to give it to her mother in the end because of this problem."

His claims were later vindicated when a bear cub - accompanied by a trainer - mounted his leg. Flustered Hugh tried to shake the love-struck bear off.
