Human: Why did Hugh Grant take legal action against the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday? Assistant: 
Hugh Grant took legal action against the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday because he was tired of the "Daily Mail" and "Mail on Sunday" newspapers publishing almost entirely fictional articles about his private life for their own financial gain. He also hoped that this statement in court might remind people that the so-called "close friends" or "close sources" on which these stories claim to be based almost never exist.
