Actor Hugh Grant has opened up about contracting coronavirus, revealing he has already had the virus.

The 60-year-old appeared on an episode of "The Late Show" where he told host Stephen Colbert about suffering from Covid-19 earlier this year, reports etonline.com.

"I had it, my wife (Anna Elisabet Eberstein) and I had it way back in the winter. We have antibodies, so we're not going to get it, I don't think," he said.

He added that he first came down with the disease in February.

When Colbert asked if Grant had gotten a test and a confirmed case of the coronavirus, he replied: "I've had an antibody test only a month ago. I still have those antibodies. So I know that's what it was. It became clear."

He went on to describe his symptoms in a humorous way.

"It started as just a very strange syndrome where I kept breaking into a terrible sweat, like a poncho of sweat, embarrassing really," he said.

Then, one day, he was walking down the street when he thought he couldn't "smell a damn thing". "You start to panic because by then people were just starting to talk about this as a symptom," he added.

"I started sniffing flowers, nothing, and you get more and more desperate. I started sniffing in garbage cans and you want to sniff strangers' armpits because you just can't smell anything. I eventually went home and sprayed my wife's Chanel No. 5 directly into my face, couldn't smell a thing. I did go blind," he said.

Grant is currently quarantining in London.
