- Was Julie Christie's agent when he met Natalie Wood in September 1966. Christie at that time was being courted by Wood's ex-boyfriend, Warren Beatty.
- Father, with Natalie Wood, of daughter Natasha Gregson Wagner.
- Gregson's mother, Violet Hanson (1899-1999), was the paternal great-granddaughter of Sir Reginald Hanson, 559th Lord Mayor of London.
- Has five children: daughter Sarah (b. 1958), daughter Charlotte (b. 1960) and son Hugo (b. 1962) with his first wife, Sally Ronaldson; daughter Natasha Gregson Wagner (b. 1970) with second wife, actress Natalie Wood; and daughter Poppy (b. 1984) with third wife, authoress Julia Gregson.
- In 1933 his uncle, Charlie Hanson, drowned, somewhat questionably, in the River Thames, his head bashed in.
- I think actors tend to talk a lot about what they would really like to do, but the fact is that an actor is someone for hire. Whatever they want to do, if someone offers them a million pounds to do a part, their attention will be drawn to that and they will leave whatever it is they would like to do until later.
