This is the fanlisting for Will Freeman, the cocky but charming protagonist of the book About a Boy by Nick Hornby and also the corresponding film, starring Hugh Grant."Terminally single and ecstatically child-free, Will (Hugh Grant), a trendy 38-year-old Londoner, spends his days buying new CDs, shopping for designer clothes and worrying about his Audi Coupe and up-to-the-second hairstyle. Nights, whenever possible, are devoted to beautiful women. Work? What's that? Thanks to an ubiquitous Christmas standard written by his dad and recoded by everyone from Elvis to the Muppets, Will doesn't have to work like the rest of the world. The royalties rolling in have enabled him to make a profession - an art, really - out of avoiding responsibility.... [Later], thanks to Marcus and Fiona, Will finds himself becoming less self-obsessed, less concerned with being the star of his own meager life... And when Will puts himself on the line for his makeshift family - without premeditation or calculation - it's a shock to discover he has not only saved Marcus and Fiona, but himself."
