He's the most English person ever 😂

My stepdad is English and this would be his response too lol it’s just an honest way to answer stupid questions 😅

No... He's just English

[@davidjpearce796]

I really don't see the problem with this interview. He's not disrespectful just honest??

[@ronburgundy3172]

I know right he just wasnt into the interview and tried to response the best way he could.

[@TheSnowboarder8888]

She’s a joke! Not informed at all..

[@evalramman7502]

Truth, in a world of lies, is very offensive.

[@fan2chevaux36]

Those questions are bland and interesting like what are you supposed to answer to that?

She’s asking really stupid questions. And he doesn’t go along with this fake attitude. Shoutout to him!

Lol please give me an important question you ask someone at the Oscar’s.

[@sbquillin]

She asked idiotic questions. He held it together in the face of stoo-pidity.

[@300zxdriver]

He was a bit of a dick.

She was a bit dim, the vanity fair reference she didn't get.

[@TheLightedSky2112]

Yes sir Hi Mr. Grant, now about the Fed's fiscal plan...

[@privateinformation198]

She was asking some pretty dumb questions. Why would you ask someone how it was filming a movie they had 3 seconds of screen time in?

[@anthony8241]

What should she have asked?

[@fomofud9479]

TBF, the original comment is pretty dumb

[@Dirtydreamer2023]

Yeah, it sounded kinda dumb.

[@Anesujubani]

She’s an interviewer for the Oscar. She’s not gonna ask hard hitting questions

[@TheSnowboarder8888]

Thank you! Really poor interview questions…!

[@pablogorin5570]

The title to this should read: "Hugh Grant calmly and respectfully responds to awkward and stupid questions with dumb interviewer."

[@alicemendez9660]

The interviewer isn’t a interviewer she’s a model

[@b.k8205]

So a guy who has graduated with honours from Oxford university in English Literature makes a Vanity Fair reference about what Oscars and the people there are all about and he gets ignored and given another stupid question about what he is WEARING is rude? He was super polite given the circumstances. In his head he was probably "b... have you even read a book in your life? Who gave you this job?" 🤣🤣🤣

[@andrewrezio2454]

He was in glass onion for 3 seconds, why ask him about this ? He just gave an honest answer lol

[@stinabo77]

He's the only honest and non superficial celebrity there 😂

[@petercoombs8053]

I liked it and his understated English response to banal questions. He's just being honest.

[@maggiedavies922]

I think he was very patient with the inane questions she was asking - what are you wearing tonight? 😂😂😂

[@anonymo6143]

What are you wearing tonight then? I think my patience would wear thin with questions like that tbh

[@A91367]

Lady is beyond annoying. Love his authenticity .

[@BreannaMae]

It’s only awkward because the interviewer is asking ridiculous questions in an overly upbeat manner and Hugh doesn’t feel like answering them in the same way. A good interviewer would take that as a cue to be more reserved and ask better questions. She just maintains her upbeat energy and continues to ask stupid questions that he doesn’t want to answer.

[@musicb5202]

What else would she do they're tryna record an upbeat show here not some blunt drama piece

[@tejowl]

It's not an upbeat show. It's a PR show. And it's nice to see someone being normal and giving the questions the pitch they deserve. She needs to take it down a bit and not be condescending (ok, then tell us what you wearing). He answered Glass Onion question correctly, and she's asking him to be upbeat about that too. (I'm in Glass Onion for 3 seconds. Yeah, but you had fun, ryyyyyte?) Pipe down, be nice to everyone, even if they don't share your enthusiasm.

[@christinegovan3712]

​@@tejowl exactly..

[@musicb5202]

@@tejowl it's only fair to him because he didn't get any nominations rest of the stars were pretty stoked to be there. That's not a bad interviewer that's a bummed out interviewee.

[@Azulakayes]

It's an awards show...she is supposed to be upbeat. He is an a-hole, there's no justifying it.

[@TheL184]

As an English person, Hugh grants responses can be interpreted as a little dry and a little sarcastic. And as English folk we often feel comfortable in this day to day exchange as we get by, happy enough. What Americans and anyone else need understand is that we communicate very differently with one another but it is in no way considered malicious or intentionally rude this is simply a reflection of Hugh grant acting and likely feeling awkward in a likely awkward situation. Americans are definitely not fake in their social interaction but different. Just very different to us. We generally say "hi are you alright?" Which is the same as "hi how are you?" and I get confusion all the time with my overseas friends

[@rustyshackleford7503]

She needs a new job. Hugh handled that very well.

[@carolemccallum2115]

The interviewer had a great opportunity and couldn’t think of a single decent question. “What are you wearing tonight?” 😂😂 “How much fun was that 3seconds”

[@jonwillmott4767]

Good old Hugh.... Loves steak... But occasionally fancies a burger.

[@eliasjokinen9446]

Love how americans doesn't understand dry english humor.

[@namanshah8354]

I love Hugh Grant...❤

[@MamaLinz123]

Love this man! 😂

[@7somekindofsomething]

I feel a bit bad for her as she’s doing her job, but to be honest good on him. People should stop falling in line with this rubbish of the same “who are you wearing” questions, and bring back some authenticity and intellect to the media.

[@Azulakayes]

If you want intellect in an event focused on entertainment, go watch a documentary and stop being pretentious.

[@ryanflores281]

Last year was “The Slap” this year will be known for the “The Interview” except that it won’t because this is Hugh he is 😅

[@aihtiram]

He wasn’t tryna talk to her 😂

[@Henkibojj]

I know very little of fashion and really, the whole award ceremony thing, but this question gets thrown at every interview victim ever: What/who are you wearing. What difference does it make, it's a goddamn suit. Ask something relevant and thoughtful and you might just get something intelligent back into the conversation. As for Glass Onion, it was indeed something so short it must have been shot in a day or two, making the answer correct and honest.

[@codyrogers918]

Dam Oscars are producing some great stuff lately with Chris rock slap now this pure gold

[@Enne-]

Basically everything that went "wrong" in the Oscars were the best oarts about it 🤣

[@erikthompson404]

He just lost all of his money in the bank collapse. I would say this is as calm cool and collected as a person could be given the circumstances.

[@kurtsudheim825]

No he's calm & cool, because she asks the same stupid q's to everyone else, & because they're dumb they give the same stupid, pleasing answers that keep thespotlight on themselves. He actually thinks for himself & trellises for stupid they are, answers the q as asked (because she didn't even ask that stupid question with "who", but "what are you wearing?" Which is the normal thing), he answered perfectly normal, correctly, then she follows it up with another dumb q, like who tf makes their own clothes?

[@commanderkeen3787]

He's upset that everyone moisturizes except him

[@camsfour4177]

What do you mean by "lost all of his money"?

[@valterspatriks8752]

Might be hard to believe but not all of the world keeps money in US banks. British banks didn't suffer.

He wasn’t awkward, she made it awkward. She wasn’t used to her typical questions being answered in that manner (which I found nothing wrong with; he was direct and straight to the point). She needed to be more on her toes.

[@arazgarayev]

Could Ashley ask any more stupid questions? Gosh, what kind of questions are those? Hugh kept it real!

[@btj7295]

Pretty standard red carpet questions… Were you expecting a 60 minutes interview or something?🤦🏽‍♂️ He’s unnecessarily being an asshole and making her job difficult.

[@cynthiahusband106]

It’s just English charm that Hugh has in spades , truthful in his answers I’ll give him that!!!! No bs .

[@Azulakayes]

Please enlighten us with the clever questions people are asked on the red carpet. Lest you forget, it is always about the fashion, the movies or nominees and how the party is going. There's no need to be rude. Did you want her to ask him about quantum mechanics or the agrarian revolution or the code of Hammurabi. There's nothing worse than pseudo-intellectuals.
