Hugh Grant called out for being ‘rude’ to interviewer on Oscars red carpet

Hugh Grant has been called out by Oscars viewers over his truly uncomfortable red carpet interview with model Ashley Graham.

Hugh Grant’s attitude on the red carpet didn’t go down well with viewers.

Hugh Grant is being blasted as an “a**ehole” for being “rude” to interviewer Ashley Graham during the Oscars red carpet.

Graham asked the British actor a series of standard questions, like what he was excited for at the awards show, whom he wanted to win and whom he was wearing.

However, the Notting Hill star couldn’t have been more disinterested in the line of questioning, reports Page Six.

“No one in particular,” Grant, 62, responded when asked if he was rooting for anyone.

Grant was not having a bar of it.

When asked about his tuxedo, the actor dismissed it as a result of his unknown tailor’s work.

Suffice it to say, the red carpet interview sat well with absolutely no one on social media.

I don’t understand this from Hugh Grant. If you don’t want to be interviewed, don’t take the mic, smile politely and keep walking. Kudos to @ashleygraham for trying repeatedly to get something interesting out of him. #Oscarspic.twitter.com/Q2AeUpPGRi

“Ashley Graham was so sweet and professional with Hugh Grant on the interview … and he’s just a d**k,” commented one Twitter user.

“Y’all Hugh Grant is a jerk. He was SO rude to Ashley Graham on the red carpet,” tweeted another. “Disgusted!”

“Do better Hugh Grant. The person interviewing you is doing it for people who watch your movies and put money in your pocket,” tweeted another viewer. “What a douche. Not that we didn’t already know.”

“OK, Hugh Grant be nice to Ashley Grant, he’s giving her nothing,” tweeted commenter Bevy Smith. “I don’t like that, he’s being shady & making her work way too hard.”

Grant’s panned interview comes just days after he admitted to flipping out on a “nice local woman” while filming Dungeons & Dragons.

“I lost my temper with a woman in my eye line on day one,” the actor told Total Film magazine.

”I assumed she was some executive from the studio who should have known better.”

It goes without saying that it ended up being Grant who “should have known better.”

“Then it turns out that she’s an extremely nice local woman who was the chaperone of the young girl,” he said.

The Love Actually star called his temper tantrum “terrible” and explained that his episode ended with “a lot of grovelling.”
