LONDON -- Depending on where you stand on animal-themed Halloween costumes, there's something about the sight of a full-grown man in a lion onesie that's either very funny or very tragic -- especially when the man in questions happens to be Hugh Grant.
Various celebrities got dressed up Thursday night for Unicef's Halloween Ball in London, and Grant decided to bust out his best lion onesie for the occasion.
Unfortunately, not everyone was a fan.
No matter what, you'll have a better costume than Hugh Grant this year. pic.twitter.com/PwRYbp1xhp— Christian Zamora (@Christian_Zamo) October 29, 2015
After hiring Hugh Grant as their new lead, The Lion King production had to make cuts in their budget elsewhere... pic.twitter.com/sek2vnjVDK— ZAK agency (@ZAK_agency) October 30, 2015

To be fair to Grant, at least he actually made the effort to dress up (although it has to be said that he didn't put quite as much effort in as some people)...
