It seems like Hugh Grant can't catch a break after his apparent real personality has been exposed by both Ashley Graham and Drew Barrymore.
The 62-year-old English actor - who was a heartthrob during the 90s and early 00s - became part of a certifiably cringeworthy moment during an interview with Ashley Graham while at the Oscars this month. The model asked Grant: "What are you most excited to see? Anyone to see win?", to which he replied: "No one in particular." The mom-of-three then asked what Grant was wearing and who had designed it, at which point he simply answered: "My tailor."
"What does it feel like to be in Glass Onion," Graham then asked, "such an amazing film? How fun is it to shoot something like that?"
The Love Actually star then replied: "Well, I'm barely in it. I'm in for about three seconds."
Following this, Grant was part of an interview for Wired where he was asked a whole bunch of questions that people have most searched about him. One of the questions asked was about Grant's appearance alongside Drew Barrymore, 48, in the 2007 flick Music and Lyrics.
It was during that interview that he revealed Barrymore didn't have the best singing voice. "Drew Barrymore was in that film with me and I don’t think she'd mind me saying her singing is just horrendous. I've heard dogs bark better than she sings," he stated. Though, he did follow up his comment with a compliment for Barrymore, saying that she "sounded way better than me because she's got heart and voice and rock 'n' roll" once her voice was "turned up."
On a recent episode of her talk show The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress spoke about the remarks Grant made about her singing, saying: "If you know Hugh, that is his way of loving you.
"It's funny, too, because there's this thing going around with him and Ashley Graham on the red carpet. And people are like, 'He's such a curmudgeon. And she's so thrown.' I'm like, 'No, that is Hugh Grant.'"
She continued: "You think you're getting this charming movie star, and what you really get is grumpy Hugh. And then you fall in love with grumpy Hugh," before explaining that his comments on her singing were "absolutely funny" and that he doesn't mean anything negative by them.
Barrymore did admit she sympathizes with Graham, stating: "It took me a second, probably like Ashley Graham on the carpet. Like, 'Oh who am I dealing with.' And then I was like, 'Oh no, I love you, I want to love you. You're not letting me love you.'"
Barrymore the concluded by calling Grant a "hilarious, good human being," adding that she loved "the real" him. Awww, how sweet!
She had also initially addressed his comments by sharing a video of herself singing on her Instagram, telling him: "Oh, Hugh-bert, Hubert, that's for you."
