Hugh Grant has been accused of rude behavior towards Ashley Graham during a red carpet interview at the Oscars

Hugh Grant divided Oscars viewers with a “haunting” red carpet interview.

On Sunday (March 12), the British superstar found himself laughed at and criticized for his blunt response.

The actor, known for his sarcastic wit and sarcasm, interviewed Ashley Graham, who didn’t seem prepared for his answers — or lack thereof.

Graham asked Grant if he was excited at the prospect of any particular actors winning, and he replied, “No, nobody in particular.”

Attempting another question, Graham asked, “Okay, well, what are you wearing tonight, then?”

In response, the actor said: “Just my suit.”

Graham then decided to ask Grant about the Knives Out sequel glass onion, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. Grant makes a cameo appearance in the film.

“So tell me what it was like to be in it glass onion? she asked, adding, “It was a great movie. I really liked him. How is something like this filmed? “

Grant said, “Well, I’m barely in it. I’m in it for about three seconds.”

Graham replied, “Yeah, but still, you did come and have fun, didn’t you?” Almost, said Grant.

Realizing she’d hit a wall with the actor, Graham concluded the interview. Grant seemed to shake his head in confusion as he left.

Meanwhile @TerryMac_ asked: “Was that Hugh Grant interview the most uncomfortable thing ever?!?”

There were many who criticized Grant for his short answers, with @kirsten53708048 saying, “Don’t do the interview if you clearly don’t want to be interviewed.”

@sbthro then wrote: “Hugh Grant was so rude during his interview! Ashley Graham handled it with grace. His eye roll at the end was obnoxious!”
