I actually liked his exchanges with Whoopi, you could tell there was a mutual respect of colleagues coming from similar movie eras.

[@fairdose]

Huge Hugh fan here! He's a very intelligent and articulate man (he's an Oxford grad) with typical dry, British humour. Positively loved him in Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually, About a Boy, Music and Lyrics, Paddington 2 but he was equally amazing in Maurice, Impromptu and Sense and Sensibility. He's a very good actor who unfortunately had been type-cast for a long time but as he ages, I hope more interestng roles with a wider range come his way - I know he'll be able to nail anything thrown at him.

[@eliv.7062]

I can't decide what I love more: watching Hugh playing his characters or watching him playing himself? He's witty and absolutely adorable, such a character! The one and only Hugh!! 💖

[@SoLaRe60]

He is funny. He is witty. He is smart. His humor is dry. His manner is unaffected with a hint of cynicism. Ashley Graham was no match for him.

[@jacquelinekabugo-raderson1878]

Indeed! You're so right ✅️

[@Mia7189]

I agree 100%. I was surprised that he even stopped to be interviewed. He's not being mean (IMO), just ill at ease with Hollywood BS.

[@zhivekovics]

He gave witty answers to shallow (sometime out of context) general questions. What is your favorite thing coming here? She knows He is not even nominated! For me this sound like why do you come at all? Is it really important who made his suite? Or she wanted to get some AD credit by forcing out a name? Why does She ask about a movie He had only a brief cameo in? Sounds like this was Grant’s performance highlight for the year? A cameo?

[@kermitfrog593]

She wasn't trying to "match" him, she was just doing her job. I'm no fan of the Oscars but if you're going to go, expect those questions. Grant was rude.

[@SoLaRe60]

@@kermitfrog593 I did not say she was trying to match him. I said she is no match for him intellectually. The woman is quite vacuous. They need better interviewers, more polished, more worldly, more resourceful.

The before show interview was bad.

Hugh Grant❤....4 Weddings & A Funeral is such classic. This was such a fun interview! He actually enjoyed it

[@HH-gv8mx]

Unlike when someone tried to interview him on the red carpet at the Oscars. He was quite rude.

[@hnrbdrh]

His "viral Oscars moment" wasn't the scrotum joke, it was the Ashley Graham awkward interaction -- I wish he had addressed it.

[@thebenevolentpatriarch424]

There was nothing to address, he was just being him, the interviewer was just beyond her depth

[@hnrbdrh]

@@thebenevolentpatriarch424 I agree with you! My comment is more about The View's definition of viral moment than what Hugh did or did not. 🙂

[@joyo8776]

Hugh Grant has a sarcastic and self-deprecating sense of humour. I don’t get what the fuss was about on Oscar’s night. He wasn’t rude at all. Plus the questions by Ashley were blah….let’s be honest

[@killpretty13]

OMG thank you for saying it. I felt the same way! She shouldn't be doing interviews. It didn't sound or even feel natural the way she asked and the fillers umms in between. I cringed at her, not him! It turned on him like he was expected to carry an interview that should have been her job in the first place!

[@stupid8911]

Okay, but do you think she deserved his attitude? She didn't sit there in her car that day trying to think of in-depth questions, these were written for her. And he knows the deal, this wasn't supposed to a sit-down with Mike Wallace, it was the Oscars, the fluffiest of all the events.

[@dowzoo]

If it's a stupid interview, one of many I'm sure, his reaction was probably appropriate.

[@stephanied6451]

​@J I thought he answered fine (his honesty) but she didn't deserve the eye roll publicly

[@AloeAntinousAquila55]

thank you! gotta up your game depending on the character 🤗

[@dowzoo]

My favorite Hugh Grant film is "9 Months" with Julianne Moore, Robin Williams, Tom Arnold and Joan Cusak. The drive to the hospital and the scene in the delivery room has me laughing out loud no matter how many times I watch it.

The viral moment they are referring to was with Andie MacDowell where he said he looked like a scrotum. Personally, I still find him quite handsome.

[@georgimihailov4906]

Click bait.

[@anthonyblack9906]

@@georgimihailov4906 definite;y that!!

His moisturizing comment I guess, but that was hardly viral. Honestly though, I would rather hear about his scrotum face than the interview by the amateur Ashley whoever she is. 😎

[@samuelcraig]

Americans need to realise that their reporters can come across as so enthusiastic with the smallest of things. So many of us non-americas are like "umm wtf calm down" lol.

[@rachel4274]

I agree with you Elizabeth, I find him to be rude. I remember Oprah asking him how was it like working with Julia Robert's, he said she has a big mouth, literally. At that moment he could have talked about her talents and personality but he went for her features that she had no control over. There are more similar moments like this that made me not like him, but my post will end up being a whole thesis.

[@katiel1979]

He’s not rude it’s a dry sense of humor and Ashley is dumb

[@alexialanda27]

No he was definitely being rude lol. I would never roll my eyes and make someone feel stupid for no reason, even if the question had no substance. She could have asked him a rude question like "hey remember that time you got caught with a pr*stitute" and cheated on your then partner Elizabeth Hurley. How's that for dry sense of humor. 😂

[@jonathaneffemey944]

Thanks for posting

[@NiVi192]

I guess Grant could've been a bit more open and charismatic about a basic question like, "Who are you wearing?"but Graham also could've come up with questions that wear a little less shallow and expectable. He refused to hide his disappointment over these unoriginal and poorly researched questions, so he came back with his unique, unapologetic sense of irony. Ashley Graham didn't really know how to go along with his dry, quick-witted British humor. Anyway, it was a little cringy but not really dramatic. If anything, Ashley Graham and Hugh Grant's interaction is a perfect example of the clash between typical British and American humor. 😅
