"If you don't want to be there go home": Hugh Grant slammed for 'rude' interview with Ashley Graham as clip goes viral

Netizens were not keen fans of Hugh Grant’s behavior at the 95th Annual Academy Awards this Sunday. The actor’s awkward red carpet interview with Ashley Graham left many disappointed.

The 62-year-old actor did not seem particularly fond of appearing at the Oscars this year. During his interview with the model, Grant appeared visibly uncomfortable to be at the star-studded event

The Notting Hill actor kept his answers short and crisp during the interview, showing off his blatant disregard for the same.

The chat between Graham and Grant kicked off with the former asking what the actor’s favorite thing about attending the event was, to which the latter replied- “It’s fascinating… the whole of humanity is here… it’s Vanity Fair.”

Ashley Graham went on to ask the actor who he was most excited to see during this year’s Oscars, to which Hugh Grant unexpectedly responded by saying- “To see? No one in particular.”

As the model noted that the actor was not at the same wavelength as she was, Graham continued to put in her efforts to get quippy responses. She asked the actor what he was wearing tonight, to which Grant said- “Just my suit.”

Ashley Graham persisted in questioning the actor about his outfit choice by saying “Who made your suit? You didn’t make it?”

The mother-of-three went on to ask the Bridget Jones’ Diary star about Glass Onion, the movie the actor recently worked on. Graham excitedly asked- “How fun is it to shoot something like that?”

Hugh Grant said- “Well, I’m barely in it. I’m in it for about three seconds.”

The model persistently asked Grant- “But still you showed up, and you had fun right?”
