Hugh Grant hasn't held back with some brutal complaints about his co-star Drew Barrymore.

The 62-year-old actor - best known for playing floppy-haired love interests in early 00s rom-coms - took part in a recent Wired interview with co-stars Michelle Rodriguez and Chris Pine, where he discussed his latest role in Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (which is certainly not a rom-com).

He was asked a whole bunch of questions that people have most searched about him, while he responded with honest answers. One of the questions asked was about Grant's appearance alongside Drew Barrymore, 48, in the 2007 flick Music and Lyrics.

Grant was asked whether he actually sang in the movie - which is about a singer who enlists the help of the lady who waters his plants to write his comeback song - and he revealed that he was autotuned, "but not as much as some."

As it turns out, Grant was referring to Barrymore, whom he revealed 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."

The mom-of-two took to Instagram soon afterward to comment on Grant's words, posting a clip of herself singing hers and Grant's duet from the film with the caption: "Oh, Hugh-bert, Hubert, that's for you." A text overlay on the video read: "My response to Hugh Grant."

Aside from calling Barrymore a "horrendous" singer, Grant has received a lot of media attention for his "awkward" Oscars interview with Ashley Graham over the weekend, where he answered the model's red carpet questions with one-word responses.

Graham 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 asks, "such an amazing film? How fun is it to shoot something like that?"

The Love Actually star then says: "Well, I'm barely in it. I'm in for about three seconds."

Graham, 35, has since broken her silence on the incident, telling TMZ as she arrived at LAX airport this week: "You know what, my momma told me to kill people with kindness, so there you go."
