\"Hugh<\/p>\n

I lost a bit of respect for Hugh Grant<\/a> when he blatantly eye-rolled Ashley Graham<\/a> after she asked him a question on the Oscars red carpet on Sunday. That fumbling, albeit sweet, British gentleman that we knew in Notting Hill<\/em> \u2014<\/a> the type of man I imagined Grant to be in real life \u2014 all but vanished from my mind.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old model was doing a stellar job \u2014 far better than most \u2014 at interviewing the stars on the champagne-colored carpet of the 95th<\/sup> annual Academy Awards<\/a>. When 62-year-old Grant showed up on our screens, however, viewers remarked it felt as though he didn\u2019t think too much of the interviewer. Gracefully, Graham soldiered on.<\/p>\n

The conversation went like this:<\/p>\n

Graham: Who are you most excited to see tonight at the Oscars?<\/em><\/p>\n

Grant: To see?<\/em><\/p>\n

Graham: To see win.<\/em><\/p>\n

Grant: No one in particular.<\/em><\/p>\n

Graham: OK. And who are you wearing tonight?<\/em><\/p>\n

Grant: Just my suit.<\/em><\/p>\n

Graham: Well, you didn\u2019t make it! Who made your suit?<\/em><\/p>\n

Grant: My tailor.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was car crash television. Painful. Awkward. As a journalist who has worked the entertainment scene for years, I can vouch for red carpet interviews as being some of the most challenging there is, and your ability to respond to the spontaneous is really tested. Sighing deeply and dismissing valid questions like, “who would you like to see win an Oscar this evening?” viewers noted the actor seemed rude to a young woman simply doing her job.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the moment below.<\/p>\n

Hugh Grant is the biggest D bag for this interview. Hugh, If you don't want to be there go home. Worst Oscars interviews ever. #Oscars<\/a> #Oscars2023<\/a> #HughGrant<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Yx7MWbav4q<\/a><\/p>\n
