- Hugh Grant's 'rude' Oscars interview goes viral
Hugh Grant gave an excruciatingly terse interview to model Ashley Graham on his way in to the Academy Awards on Sunday.
The British star appeared to have been annoyed after likening the Oscars to William Thackeray's 1847 novel Vanity Fair - a reference Graham took to mean the magazine Vanity Fair, and its post-Oscars party.
Grant later joked that his own face looked like a scrotum as he presented an award with Andie MacDowell.

It’s refreshing to hear someone give some honest answers. The same way he would in a normal conversation.
English ☕️
Makes me feel somewhat proud to be British (for a change)...You gotta love the British self deprecating sense of humour & Ricky Gervais basically single handedly assassinated the whole audience I fondly remember. We've got Hugh Grant & they've got this.... Er person. "So it was really nice talking to you....Yeah" 😂
@@hearliestheglobe8423 He wasn't being self deprecating. He was being bored, boring, and rude at his interviewer's expense, who was valiantly trying to find some conversational thread on which he'd deign to engage with her.
@@hearliestheglobe8423 nothing self depreciating about it. Gervais would have been so much kinder. Grant was just being rude, and frankly, a total dick. This isn’t Britishness, this is an asshole.
Oh please
The Vanity Fair misunderstanding is just a wonderful, wonderful moment. One talking about the 19th century novel, the other talking about a magazine's after-party. Brilliant.
Why would she think he meant anything else when the after-party was happening the same night right after the event that they were both attending? Of course that is where her mind went.
Frankly Grant is a total hypocrite walking the red carpet of the Oscars and refusing to play ball with somebody just doing their job when he has done so little work the past year his only screen credit from 2022 is his Glass Onion cameo. He has no reason to actually be at this event but then looks down on other people he considers to be social climbers.
Why is he even attending when he has no film to represent, no performance to promote and is apparently so above it all? Could he possibly be there because he enjoys the party and opulence of it all, I wonder?
He was a presenter, you dumb bitch. I guess you slept through the actual program.
And NOBODY would think of anything but the Thackeray novel from how he worded his response - nobody but a vapid harlot like the interviewer, that is.
@@madinp1177 nope. He is just being funny and why should he go low?
@@madinp1177 yes it's very fair that she misunderstood, not a bad reflection on her at all. I think in general though in this exchange his British sense of humour and tendency to downplay and understate things came up against her very Hollywood USA hype-style, and that's what made it very funny. He didn't play along, and yes as you said that's maybe a bit unreasonable, and why was he even there... but I think it's not all that serious. The whole ceremony and awards are a bit of a parody of itself anyway, surely
Funny you should say that but of those two I am only aware of the book - a copy of which I own - and not the magazine so I only understood Hughes reference and not hers. I didn't know what she meant.
At least he spoke honestly.
he was joking but the dry PC interviewer didn't get it.
@@NisseOhlsenits true，she didn’t get it 😢
Why is this wrong??? These interviewers keep wanting you to be all gushy and talk shite, so he was just polite and pleasant. What did he do wrong???
I love the last second. The way he looked 🤣🤣 there's nothing "rude" just a bunch of stupid questions. Thumps up for him 🤣
Thumbs,but yes I agree😂
I love this man! Doesn't pretend to be anyone, he is always himself
Never change Hugh
Best interview I've seen in a long time amongst the fake Hollywood crowd.
Why do they call it awkward? Obviously nobody could match her level of excitement but he answered the questions truthfully and he wasn't rude fair play to him.
He looked like he didn't wanted to be interviewed. Short responses, not polite. Why show up then?
@@LuisLondonGshe asked, he answer. No need to sugarcoat your answer and her questions were dumb😂
@@LuisLondonG because he’s a real person
@@LuisLondonG She didn't ask particularly intelligent questions. If you're going to interview celebrities for television, it's your job to ask questions that get them talking and make them feel comfortable, not ask bland questions that give them nothing to talk about so they feel awkward.
She did NOT read the room did she...? He's not that type of actor or bubbly fake celeb. He's been through a LOT with the press so he's not a fan of sucking up to them.
She should realise he's not into the pizazz like American's are and not wearing a designer dress either. Poor lady. Go Hugh.
She was CLEARLY unprepared for the Red Carpet, and THAT is what created all the awkward moments.
This wasn't Hugh's fault at all!!!
She was unprepared for Hugh Grant, who doesn't give a damn anymore. 😁
She would have to dig a big hole to hide in if she was interviewing Ricky Gervais 🤣🤣
unprepared? He did splendidly with such stupid superficial questions.
@@whatever51095 the compete opposite. Gervais never drags an individual down like that who hasn’t done anything wrong, he has far too much class and decency. She was the underdog in that exchange and Grant humiliated her. Gervais never humiliates the underdog.
@@braker37 he was on the red carpet at the Oscars - that in itself is vapid superficiality. If that’s not what he wanted why was he there? If it was a business obligation, he should have carried it out in a professional manner.
I didn’t think he acted rude at all! People tend to overthink these things. Leave the guy alone
Nah the rudeness is really there hahaha
Wtf are her questions lmao🤣
I honestly think it's gold. This deconstruction of all the "I'm rich-and-famos-so-pat-me-on-the-back-and-tell-me-how-much-you-love-me" award bullshit in the vein of Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand orJim Carrey is what makes those events the tiniest bit interesting. The Vanity Fair comment is just brilliant. Chapeau, Hughie!
Spot on
Russell Brand 😂😂😂
Great how he rolls his eyes and eyebrows in the end 😂😂😂
I feel so pity for Hugh Grant for being asked so many stupid questions.
This was the best 👌🏾 ... especially when he said, "No, no one in particular," and when he said, "I was in it for about 3 seconds" 😆🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😆😆😆 I enjoyed this lol
0:25 Hugh's face when she clearly has no idea that Vanity fair is originally a famous satirical book from the 19th century.
Vanity Fair became a total woke disgrace
@@seanp8220 you muppet
And a turn of phrase
@@seanp8220 I'd say I'm surprised, but I'm not.😂
I wouldn't be surprised if he bought her a copy of the book 😅
I watched the entire interview. I thought to myself that I don't remember when people known from the screen or the theater stage committed themselves in writing to be nice, unnatural and artificial everywhere. Hugh's answers were a breath of fresh air for me. Honestly, I would thank him for being so natural and genuine that day. And maybe a more open-ended question like "How are you today?" instead of "Oh, you MUST be full of enthusiasm and joy today?" would open him up more to conversation.
Of course it should be some enthusiasm since the Oscars are the biggest event in the film industry!
@@100push-upsguy6 Yep .. in a make-believe Industry that believes that it's BS is real?
@@100push-upsguy6Grant is way too intelligent to not see right through all that ridiculous BS.
Why is simply being a team player and just answering her questions kindly for two seconds not being seen as "honest"?? Perhaps one should ask themselves that question? He could see that she obviously has the difficult job of trying to get people to talk on the red carpet. The least he could do would have been to be kind and give her some grace, even if it meant being a little "happy" and "phony".
"just my suit" 😅😅
What the hell are people expecting!? The question about Glass Onion is just rude. He literally was in it for about 3 seconds. Imagine that being the thing someone asks you about, and asks it in a way that presumes you were the lead actor. Massively insulting.
In der verfickten Wokegeselschafft ist Grant durch nur weil sie zu dumm ist ihren Job richtig zu machen.🤣🤣😂
especially coming from someone who claims to have seen the movie. if she saw it, she would've known it was a cameo and being in the business would know he was there for only couple days and therefore can't comment much on being on set. she should have asked better questions or just let him go before making it more awkward for her.
I reckon she did it on purpose just to embarrass him as he was very difficult!
I mean, it was probably because it was the one film he was in this year that was nominated for an Oscar? I don’t know, seems fair enough.
LMAO his face at the end 😂 listen he's answering such superficial, cliche questions what'd you expect? I think he handled that very well
yeah the british dont care about such crap
Not to mention he's being himself. Hugh is well known for his disdain for celebrity culture and affinity for dry humor
She asked 'what is he wearing?'
He answered, 'his suit'
It's not his fault he got asked stupid questions
You plonk a man that British in the middle of the Oscar’s, he will come across rude. This is an average conversation in England. Awkward af. I’m surprised he didn’t start talking about the weather. Give a chap a break.
not rude at all... that's classic Hugh,being his honest self
Very true, us brits are more to the point with no bullshit
That’s not true. British folk are generally very polite, especially when they are aware of the fact that they actually decided to attend such a vacuous and superficial event of their own free will. He was a dick. He made someone who wasn’t trying to do anything wrong to him like and feel like a fool for no reason. He didn’t come off well.
@@sentinel_Alphacentauri yeah, rude.
If people think this was rude, they obviously didn't see last years Oscars. Either that, or they're clutching desperately for something to criticise because they're now addicted to getting their self-righteous fix.
"You had fun right?"
"Errr Almost"
LOL
Anyone who thinks this is “rude” are the same people who get offended by everything
“What are you wearing tonight?”
What does it look like?🤣
How dare you🙄
I am sooooooo offended by that, YOU BIGOT!😂
Perhaps he rolled his eyes, because she didn’t get his ‘vanity fair’ joke
She got the answers she deserves with questions like those.
The Man's a legend. Nothing wrong with this except for the stupid questions.
now I like him even more
Kudos to Hugh for being the most honest interviewee and for his unwillingness to play the game.
Can't believe he's made out to be the bad guy for answering her banal questions truthfully
She was just making him talk. He didn't even answer what movie he has seen. That is the main reason people attend the Oscars.
@@enwenchileno7050 her questions were good. They weren't bad. Asking if there any actors or movies he wants to win isn't bad . A lot of people get asked that question during Oscars.
His face in the end. Priceless😂
Thanks Hugh Grant. You were witty, hilarious, patient and I haven't laughed so much for a long time
even when he's a guest on Graham Norton's chat show Hugh Grant is hilariously, awkwardly reluctant. he's Britishly dry & sarcastic and readily admits to being intolerant & mawkish...
this was toooo funny
🤣🤣
It's like he ended up being there by accident and asking himself WTF am I doing here?
An amazing clash of British and American humour, there.
I don't think she understood his idea of Vanity Fair- it wasn't about letting lose and 'having fun.' What an airhead.
Awkward? This is classic Hugh Grant.
Nothing wrong with that interview. Just some honest direct answers
When you get old enough you finally become brave enough to be yourself
A masterclass in telling someone you're bored and annoyed by the embarrassing level of stupidity without telling them you're bored and annoyed by the embarrassing level of stupidity.
so why he attends the ceremony. It seems a little far-fetched.
@@enwenchileno7050 Part of his job.
@@ImperialAerosolKid he hates his job then
Lol most people hate their jobs
@@enwenchileno7050 Haha, possibly. I love teaching but hate all the marking.
He was just fine. He answered her.
He sounds as fed up as the rest of us.
Lol he’s literally in it for 3 seconds. Barely even a cameo!
He wasn’t awkward, she just asked the worst questions.
Well, this has split opinions. There are those who think Hugh was offhand and rude. And then there are the British. Who totally get where he was coming from.
I am Russian and I think Hugh was absolutely normal here. Rather than put on a fake excitement he chose to be genuine.
He was just joking. Coming from a non-brit. This "fuzz " shows what is wrong with this world.
@@artiomtristram9370 Yeah, was he supposed to lie about an amazing 3 seconds of fun? He gave a more honest answer.
Congrats Hugh! Best interview ever! Honest and polite answers to ustupid questions!
Hugh the legend, great stuff.
Hugh did the best he could under an onslaught of banal questions. I mean, "What are you wearing?" What was he going to say? "Leather underwear? Nipple rings?" All men are made to wear identical penguin suits at this kind of function. And why pick a film he was in for a few seconds? Ashley's producer should be ashamed of themself.
I love it when they ask what are you wearing and to tell you the truth I would have probably given the same answer as Hugh!!!
So would i, what a stupid question
The most honest interview answers in a long, long time. Good for him!
You have to be cheeky/smart with Hugh. The interviewer not getting the Vanity Fair reference . . . . right on point for Hugh's . . . . point. So funny.
Poor Hugh Grant. He should sue. I think his brain might have been severely damaged during that incident.
So she thought he meant the magazine, big deal.
Grant is a professional misanthrope. His expression when the interviewer misinterprets Vanity Fair in Thackeray's Pilgrim's Progress, for Vanity Fair the magazine is hilarious but expected.
And this is supposed to be rude? 😂 Where I am from this is super polite
Great stuff. This is what you get for asking these type of questions
Nice 😍 I like the way he converses. Why are people making an issue out of this? 👀
Amazing Hugh Grant. Sounds like some of his best characters.
Inane questions. How the hell could he have helped her out of her banality? He tried, but he fact that she missed his brilliant Vanity Fair answer (W.M.Thackeray - not the vacuous magazine) showed her level of engagement. If she'd seen that opportunity they might have had a proper conversation.
She’s not the brightest spark is she..
When someone is not fake the Americans consider it rude.
Who is this lightheaded interviewer? She does throw strange questions 🤣🤣🤣
I love him. That's me at every family affair lol.
He answered her very well. Given the idiotic questions, he was nice to her anyway. She should feel stupid. Stupid questions breed stupid answers.
She was sooo cheesy! Being European, when I lived in the US, what I missed the most was humor and subtlety ...which was non existent..I had top explain everything ....😔🤨
That's because Americans are low-brow idiots.
It's a lot of energy to reflect if you're not feeling it
Did not seem rude to me at all... The questions were awkward and badly planned so he answered them with honesty.
She was job interviewing him with awkward questions and he din't know how to answer, he was honest.😂
What awkward questions?
@@nightwatch5513 "What does it feel like to be in Glass Onion? It was such an amazing film" when he only had a very brief cameo? Like the highlight of his career is being in someone else's movie for a few seconds? Or the one where he was supposed to choose favourites and alienate the people he didn't back?
When someone asks more stupidly than the other one can answer... 😂
Jesus what a series of riveting and engaging interview questions.
I doubt she's even seen Glass Onion
This made me laugh! 😅🤣😂
It's not rude at all. I think he was more uncomfortable than anything. I think I would say the same thing about my tailor. 😂 Because I wouldn't want to spend all that money for one ridiculous dress that I can never wear again.
“What are you wearing tonight, then?”
“Just my suit.”
Good lord that moment has me rolling. Imagine asking someone, “What are you wearing right now?” What a ridiculous question to ask another human being. The fact that he answered so factually, stating the most obvious and apparent thing imaginable in response to a question that has the least amount of depth a question can possibly have… I can’t fully describe how funny this is. All I know is it’s somehow the most honest thing said at the entire Oscars ordeal, and it’s always going to make me laugh.
I would say "socks"
Hugh is only guilty in Britishness.
My respect to Mr. Grant
He is GREAT lad
He should have told her to piss off after she asked what he's wearing.
Honest, thoughtful and genuine answers are something lost in the world of hyperbole we currently live in. He didn’t claim to be ecstatic about things that don’t affect him. I know it’s not very in vogue but he’s just being honest and this is refreshing. A very british conversation.
I thought the Oscars was something special, like the biggest event in the film industry. If that doesnt affect an actor then what could!?
Sie war absolut nicht vorbereitet. Das zeigt sich uz. B., wenn sie einen Film anspricht, in dem er nur ein paar Sekunden zu sehen ist. Ehrliche Antworten auf belanglose Fragen. Gut gemacht!
A perfect example of two polar-opposite personalities thrust together and forced to interact
For me he just answered awkward questions like what are u wearing tonight? Well...he could answered Versace dress but then she would probably notice it's not the case.
Bone headed questions. No wonder he was terse....
Ask intelligent questions if you want intelligent answers. Well done Hugh.
Brits cannot do the fake 'awesome' and 'have a nice day' nonsense of some Americans - epitomised by the interviewer.
The lady asking the questions was overdoing the hype, the pretend 'it is so wonderful isn't it?' lines and by doing this would come across as extremely irritating to Grant and many Brits, as he/they do not see the big deal about being honest and saying something was not good or no, I am not all 'awesome' and feeling 'amazing' just because I am at an awards show for people with their heads up their own backsides.
Didn't Ricky Gervais make it clear we don't work that way???
I stand with all who say he’s just being plain honest, although dry if you may, but he never said a rude word to her. Some may say he’s a dick, to me he seems very down to earth. Oh, and the vanity fair confusion, that was a class bath for Ashley and the audience. Good for him😂
Shout-out to you, Hugh! Best interview ever. I love it! ❤
Ashley Graham isn't the sharpest crayon in the box.
What a colossally pudding-brained interviewer.
She should have prepared her questions better, the glass onion situation was her fault. The Vanity Fair misunderstanding on her part is painful to watch.
hahaha...love Hugh Grant
What did people find so offensive? Honestly speaking she asked weird questions, and he just gave straight up answers....
Where was he rude? She asked weird questions
Grant's obviously not thrilled to be there - reputedly, he's not the nicest bloke - but that interviewer is the cringeworthy one - ridiculous in fact.
I hope someone interviews him tonight at the Golden Globes. I LOVE the British dry wit, humor and sarcasm!
"what are you wearing?"
"just my suit."
"yOu DiDnT mAkE iT."
She should have asked something worth answering
Best 2 moments: Hugh's face when he realises she thinks he's talking about the party, not the book; Hugh's face at the end. He was perfectly polite. He just didn't reel out the normal vacuous garbage people generally do at these things.
What was it like being in that film where you were in it for 3 seconds and what are you wearing...?
Those are some of the questions of all time 😂
Thank goodness she isn't interviewing someone like Justin Trudeau
Poor Hugh, we don't know what he is going through - he could very well be depressed. People, please leave him alone.
He sounds like he was caught up with Divine Brown 5 minutes ago.
