WWW- The Asian beauty caught in Hugh Grant’s bar snog-fest last week is former porn star, Shu Qi, it was revealed.

Taiwanese, Qi, was pictured kissing the 47-year-old ‘Love Actually’ actor in a London restaurant, while Grant’s friend, John Duigan, groped Qi’s thigh at the same time.

The 31-year-old actress launched her career with nude modelling before moving into soft porn, claims the Mirror.

In 1999, Hollywood took note of Qi after director Ang Lee offered her the role as, Jen, in hit film ‘Croughing Tiger, Hidden Dragon’.

However, the beauty knocked it back preferring to do lucrative Coca Cola adverts instead.

Director, John Duigan, played down the racy pics, saying: This whole thing has been beefed up. It was just people having fun in a bar.’
