Hugh Grant Has Literally Told Us That He’s A “Nasty Piece Of Work” And Admitted That His Women Costars Hate Him, So We Shouldn’t Be Surprised By His “Rude” Oscars Interview

When she asked Hugh what he was most excited to see at the Academy Awards and whether he wanted anyone in particular to win, he gave little back and did not engage in the conversation.

“You don’t have to be that much of a dick, Hugh Grant. I mean you really just don’t,” one person tweeted. Another wrote: “Why was Hugh grant so rude?? Shout out to Ashley for holding up the conversation. / getting through that.”

Someone else also praised Ashley’s attempts to salvage the interview, tweeting: “Wow @ashleygraham just earned her paycheck on that interview with Hugh Grant. She was gracious and persistent through his obvious desire to not be there. Why agree to an interview if you have no interest in participating??”

One more asked: “could Hugh Grant have been worse than what he was? How terrible was he on that red carpet interview with Ashley.I’ve always liked him.Tonight I’m done with him.The face he put after the interview was over, was so disrespectful!”

“People accusing Hugh Grant for being rude at the Oscars clearly have no idea about the British’s self depreciation and dry sarcastic, sardonic sense of humour lol” one person tweeted.

“The Hugh grant interview is such a cultural difference in humour thing lmao cuz I see so many Americans getting mad and saying how rude he is but it’s literally just British humour,” someone else agreed.

Another echoed: “Hugh Grant’s interview at the Oscar’s and the reaction to it are a great way of illustrating British vs American culture. He’s hilarious.”

Hugh admitted that he’d been unpleasant during filming on Twitter shortly afterwards. He wrote: “Turns out my inner crab got the better of me with TV producer in 09. Unforgivable. J Stewart correct to give me kicking.”
