Hugh Grant closed Ashley Graham and rolled his eyes in a red carpet chat branded as “the worst interview ever” at last week’s star-studded Oscars.
The 62-year-old actor wasn’t amused as he stepped out at the glitzy event in Los Angeles and openly showed his disdain for the 34-year-old supermodel’s questions.
The ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ star kept her answers to her questions as brief as possible and made her blatant disinterest clear in the uncomfortable clip.
Earlier in the chat, the bubbly Ashley exclaimed, “What was it like being in Glass Onion? How much fun is it to shoot something like that?’
But she was met with a pathetic response: “Well, I’m barely in it, I was in it for about three seconds,” Hugh quipped.
