Hugh Grant is in hot water following his red-carpet interview with Ashley Graham at the Oscars 2023. Many noticed that the conversation was awkward, and he seemed not in the mood to be there.
Hugh Grant And Ashley Graham's Awkward Interview
On Sunday, Graham spoke with Grant, a "veteran" of the Oscars. She asked him about his favorite part of the star-studded event/
"It's fascinating," he replied.
Graham attempted to make Grant elaborate his answers if there was someone an actor or film he was excited "to see" tonight. However, he gave the same vague response per Radar Online:
"No one in particular."
The model tried to segue into fashion and asked the Notting Hill star: "What are you wearing tonight then?"
"Just my suit," he replied.
Graham tried another topic and asked Grant about his experience filming Netflix's hit Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. However, her attempts still failed when he replied:
"Well, I'm barely in it. I'm in it for about three seconds."
Graham added, "But still, you showed up and you had fun, right?" Graham nonchalantly responded, "Uh. Almost."
At that point, Graham concluded their interview, saying:
"Thank you so much. It was nice to talk to you."
