RealitySubtext: Phoenix Buchanan, played by Creator/HughGrant, is a formerly acclaimed actor who has faded into obscurity and is desperate to regain his celebrity status again. At the time, Grant himself had been regarded by many as something of a has-been, having appeared in a string of flops after being a highly successful romantic leading man in his early career. His widely-praised performances in both ''Paddington 2'' and ''Film/FlorenceFosterJenkins'' ultimately served as a CareerResurrection for Grant, with subsequent films allowing him to show more of his talent as a legitimate character actor.

* CareerResurrection: A downplayed case, since while Creator/HughGrant was still well-known and working frequently at the time of release, most of his projects were either not very commercially successful or were critically panned, and it was frequently suggested that his career was on a downward trend. Not only was ''Paddington 2'' both critically and commercially successful, however, but Grant's performance was frequently singled out as both one of the best parts of the movie and as one of his all-time career highlights. He's also gone on to have some fairly well-received projects afterwards, such as ''Series/AVeryBritishScandal''.
