Oscars 2023: Hugh Grant’s Red Carpet Interview Is Awkward AF

Social media was abuzz after Hugh Grant and Ashley Graham's interview on the Oscars 2023 red carpet quickly made the rounds. See what the actor had to say during his chat.

Hugh Grant is truly all about being impromptu.

On the Oscars 2023 red carpet at the Dolby Theatre March 12, the Impromptu actor was interviewed by Ashley Graham. (See every celeb on the red carpet here). However, the awkward exchange quickly made the rounds on social media—mostly due to the actor's lack of responses to the model's questions about the evening.

After being asked what his favorite thing about the award show was, Hugh simply replied that it was "fascinating," adding that "all of humanity is here." But he truly upped the ante when he was questioned about which nominated actor or movie he was rooting for the most, to which he replied, "No one in particular."

And it didn't end there.

When Ashley asked about the details of the actor's fashion for the night—a.k.a who he had the pleasure of wearing—Hugh simply responded, "Just my suit." As for any designers? The 62-year-old added that he couldn't "remember my tailor."

And if you were wondering if Hugh enjoyed his appearance in the Netflix film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery? You may just have to wait a big longer to find out.

"Well, I'm barely in it," he told Ashley, concluding his chat by adding, "I'm in it for about three seconds." (Watch the clip here.)

Suffice to say, social media had quite a few words to share in the immediate moments after the actor's interview aired.

"And the Oscar for the guy who totally doesn't want to be there goes to Hugh Grant," one Twitter user wrote. While another added, "Was that Hugh Grant interview the most uncomfortable thing ever?!?" Meanwhile, a third wrote, "I'm going to need that Hugh Grant ABC interview clipped for me immediately. Please and thank you. That was art."

But perhaps one user summed the ultimate feeling best, writing, "Hugh Grant would rather be anywhere else."
