Actor Hugh Grant stirred social media backlash for an awkward red carpet interview with Ashley Graham at the 2023 Oscars.
RELATED: These stars were the best dressed on the Oscars red carpet
Not everyone is visibly enthused to be at the 2023 Oscars. Hugh Grant was the subject of social media jokes and criticism on Sunday night after an awkward and trite moment with Academy Awards red carpet presenter Ashley Graham. The model, 35, who stunned in a sheer black Alberta Ferretti gown, started off the interview by asking a seemingly disinterested Grant about his excitement for the night.
In response, the "Love Actually" star hesitatingly responded, "Um, well it's fascinating. The whole humanity is here." As to whether he's rooting for any actor or movie to take home a big prize tonight, Grant answered, "no one in particular."

He is refusing to be shallow, so what??? Questions are boring, everyone with a mic asks the same stupid questions.
I think he was looking for more intelligent questions.
A party for the mindless viewers
Media as usual is making a bigger deal than this needs to be…
She did fine.
He wasn’t rude.
He didn’t roll his eyes
It wasn’t the best interview, but everything was ok.
Nothing to see here, move along
She didn’t do fine. She asks dumb questions.
Hugh Grant answer was spot on😊
He wasn’t rude . Just stupid pointless questions. He should just walk away .
He knows the Oscars are nonsense.
I mean, he’s collected awards from them and seems really chuffed about that so he definitely doesn’t even though he may pretend to be above it
Give him an A++ for honesty. If we’re being honest we’ve all had days like this. 🤪😳😶
Looking good Hugh! 😁👍👍
He wasn’t rude! Y’all haven’t seen rude. If only you saw me in action😂
Ashley’s questions were stupid. I would have walked away with an eye roll 🙂
Real people don’t care in the least about any of this stuff. He seems like a real person with a real brain who came because he had too😂
Exactly
He wasn’t rude; she asked boring, repetitive, pointless questions. I’m high all day; & I probably would’ve cussed her out or walked away mid-question. These people do no want to be asked the same Q’s over & over.
It’s BS and he was 100% authentic. He’s working 💪 I loved it
I doubt if a female celeb rolled her eyes she’d have so many people defending her. No everyone would call her a b!
He was not rude…he answers straight to the dumbest questions ever…Which movie do you expect to see? What you wearing? She needs to step down…
He’s not rude, he’s just British 🤷🏻♀️
Ashley Graham was not good . He wasnt rude at all He just ajusted at her level 😅 LOVE HIM
I feel so pity for Hugh Grant for being asked so many stupid questions.
He wasn’t rude. He was in fact patient enough and graceful enough to have stayed and answered those stupid awkward questions😏. Sure he’s awkward but wasn’t rude at all.
Good on you Hugh. Each answer he gave a smile noting the ridiculousness of the questions posed to him. You did nothing wrong mate.
He was quite patient and polite, he could’ve walked away but he didn’t. I see nothing wrong here accept a bad interviewer asking stupid questions.
