Hugh Grant has expressed doubt that the Leveson Inquiry into media ethics will result in tougher regulation of newspapers.
The actor has said it may be a "real hurdle" to get any changes implemented.
Lord Justice Leveson's inquiry was set up by David Cameron last year in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal that led to the closure of the News Of The World.
Grant, who was in Brussels calling for tougher EU regulation of the media, said: "Things we used to rant about and people used to roll their eyes and say 'They are a bit paranoid' have now been exposed to the public through the inquiry so I think the inquiry has done a very good job.
"I hope the recommendations are strong enough. I have every faith that they will be. I think the real hurdle comes in trying to get them enacted because I think there is huge forces of conservatism lined up against doing something about this."
The Four Weddings and a Funeral star gave evidence to the inquiry in November, where he said he suspected his voicemail messages had been hacked .
He also used his appearance to condemn photographers for hounding the mother of his baby daughter.
