Hugh Grant has walked out on new film 'Lost for Words' because of "creative differences".The 'Notting Hill' actor was scheduled to star alongside Ziyi Zhang in studio Working Title's latest romantic-comedy before deciding to quit.Hugh, 48, who is reportedly romancing a former model 20 years his junior, had no choice but to walk away after the filmmakers could not create a script "everyone agreed on". The actor's spokesman said: "This was a case of creative differences. Working Title is moving ahead with the project and Hugh wishes them well."Hugh was originally cast as a British film star who falls in love with a Chinese film director, played by Ziyi. However, their budding romance is hampered by the director's translator who repeatedly tries to split the pair up.
