Hugh Grant is providing emotional support to actress Sandra Bullock after her husband Jesse James cheated on her, sources say. he two have been apparently talking over the phone, following the TV mechanic's link up with a tattoo model.

"I hear Sandy has been having long phone conversations with Hugh while she decides what to do about her five-year-long marriage to the biker dude," the Mirror quoted a source as saying.

The insider added: "Hugh has been a huge support to her. He's always thought extremely highly of Sandra and was really upset to hear about her troubles.

"Sandra's shell-shocked by what's happened - especially so soon after everything seemed so perfect after winning an Oscar for The Blind Side.

"She doesn't know whether she wants to fight for her marriage or not, but Hugh's been talking things through with her and he's been great.

"Sandy and Hugh have a special connection - always have. And Hugh will do everything he can to help her out - he even offered to fly out."

Bullock and Grant had become friends while shooting 'Two Weeks Notice' in 2002. (ANI)
