Hugh Grant's "embarrassing" interview at the Oscars: "The most awkward thing since Will Smith's slap"

British actor Hugh Grant has generated controversy on social networks for his interview on the red carpet of the Oscars 2023 with Ashley Graham. During the interview, Grant hinted at his lack of interest in Graham's questions, leading to awkward and awkward conversation. The little effort that Grant has put into being nice in front of the camera has turned against him and many Twitter users have described the interpreter's intervention as a sign of Hugh Grant's lack of commitment.

What's more, there are those who have been encouraged to ensure that the failed and uncomfortable interview starring Hugh Grant on the red carpet of the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, United States, is up to the slap that Will Smith gave him last year comedian Chris Rock.

The charming actor Hugh Grant, known for his sense of humor and sympathy, has not had his best night this Sunday. The Briton has had to face a wave of criticism on social media after an awkward interview on the red carpet at the 95th Academy Awards in Hollywood. The 62-year-old star has made it clear that he was not comfortable with Ashley Graham's questions and has behaved in a way that has embarrassed many viewers and Grant supporters.

During the interview, the interviewer suffered when she saw that the actor did not take great care in the answers he gave to his questions. Hugh Grant has answered with monosyllables to the questions that Ashley Graham asked him. "What do you like the most about coming to the Oscars?" The reporter began the interview. "The vanity fair", the actor replied without going into detail.

The interviewer has tried to get the actor to tell what his favorite movies this year were and if he was excited to see someone take the statuette. Grant's response has been bland: "No, specifically, no." Even so, Graham has continued to maintain his composure and doing his job by asking him what designer the suit the Briton was wearing was from. "It's mine," the actor replied immediately.

In a last attempt to turn the conversation around, Ashley Graham has asked the British about his role in the film Glass Onion, to which the actor has responded with a blunt and awkward answer: "Well, I hardly appear. I was just on it for about three seconds. Graham has tried to keep the conversation going, asking if she had fun on the set, but Grant responded with a half-hearted response: "Uh...almost."

This interview has left many fans of the ceremony and the actor speechless. Some viewers have come to call it "the worst interview ever", "embarrassing", with some people comparing this dialogue to the infamous moment when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 ceremony.

Despite the criticism, some viewers found humor in the situation, with one social media user joking: "I need that ABC interview with Hugh Grant cut out immediately. That was art" and have also praised Graham's composure, saying, "Ashley Graham deserves an honorary Oscar for putting up with Hugh Grant."
