Hugh Grant's recent interview with Ashley Graham on the red carpet of the 2023 Oscars has created a ruckus on social media. Even though their chat began normally, the British actor's apparent lack of excitement and limited responses to Graham's queries provoked several netizens to tag tag his behaviour 'rude'.
Ashley Graham initiated the conversation by referring to him as a 'veteran' due to his numerous appearances at the Oscars. Hugh Grant seemed least engaged in the interview once it began.
When asked whether he is eager to see something or if he expects someone to win, he delivered a bland, 'No one in specific' response. When she asked what he is wearing, he answered, "my suit."
Ashley tried to carry on the conversation by complimenting the outfit and asking about the tailor. Grant merely answered that he couldn't recall the name of his tailor, prompting Graham to make a joke about shouting out to the tailor.
Netizens divided over the incident
Other internet users lauded Graham for trying to obtain something more interesting from the actor. They also criticized Hugh Grant, calling him 'rude' and 'disgraceful'.
"One should just avoid the mic if they do not wish to answer the questions," one user remarked.
Another segment of the internet supported Grant's dry humour, claiming that a good interviewer would have posed better questions to him.
Many people emphasized the significance of body language and claimed that Ashley Garahm was unable to customize her questions as per Hugh Grant's personality.
