Chopin was ill, was in poor health, and could not stand a lot of stimulation. His whole person was feminine and melancholy, and he didn't like seeing the sun or even exercising. Hugh Grant's own temperament is very in line with Chopin.

Although it's not bad, it goes against Chopin's music to some extent. original intention.
