His rude behavior apparently leaves her cold: Ashley Graham (35) responded to the interview she did with Hugh Grant (62) in the run-up to the Oscars. The short conversation has since become a hit on the internet. Unlike her interlocutor, the 35-year-old had a good answer when asked if she was “offended” by the actor’s cool reaction.
“You know what, my mom told me to kill people with kindness, there you have it,” Graham told TMZ. The model had nothing more to say about Hugh Grant. However, Graham went on to say that she “had a very good time” while interviewing several Hollywood stars on the red carpet ahead of the Oscars for ABC.
Hugh Grant drew a backlash online for his uncaring responses to Graham’s questions. In the clip accompanying the interview, the actor can be seen standing on the red carpet with his hands on his hips. “What do you like best about coming to the Oscars?” Graham asks him. After seven seconds of silence and writhing, he doesn’t say much more than: “It’s fascinating.” The model then asks if he is keeping his fingers crossed for someone in particular at the Oscars: “No one in particular,” is the answer.
When Ashley Graham tries to steer the topic to Hugh Grant’s outfit, Grant explains that he’s only wearing “my suit”. Graham, who still appears in a good mood, then wants to know whether it was fun to play in the film “Glass Onion”: “I was hardly in it, only three seconds,” was Grant’s answer. “But did you have fun?” she asks. He replies, “Almost.”
Comments on the clip included calling Hugh Grant “grumpy” and “rude” on social media. But there is also support for the British film star. They tend to see clumsiness in his answers or simply his aversion to the glamor world. “And the Oscar for the guy who absolutely doesn’t want to be there goes to Hugh Grant,” one user tweeted. Another commented, “Did anyone notice Hugh Grant’s eye roll after that live Oscars interview? Was he mad that she called him a ‘Veteran’ of the Oscars, or was he just mad at the world?” Grant himself has not yet revealed what was behind his performance.
