Stars from all over the world walked the red (champagne) carpet at the Oscars 2023 tonight at the Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood & Highland Center.
Hugh Grant was one of the actors arriving at the event, wearing a black and white combination tuxedo. While the 62-year-old looked dashing, his carpet interview left fans disappointed. He was slammed for eye-rolling during the interview.
TV presenter Ashley Graham got the opportunity to interview Hugh as he walked down the champagne carpet at the Oscars 2023. But his answers to her questions seemed like the actor was rude and uninterested.
Fans claim Hugh Grant’s interview was “cringe-worthy”
In the Oscars 2023 carpet interview, Ashley Graham was seen trying her level best to get Hugh Grant to answer her questions. Instead of giving direct and detailed answers, the actor delivered either one word or confused answers.
Fans were upset with Hugh for turning the interview awkward and cringe-worthy. His eye roll at the end also became a big topic of discussion on Twitter.
Take a look at fans’ reactions over Hugh’s red carpet interview:

Ashley asked:
“Probably you’ve watched a few of the movies, are you excited to see anybody win? Do you have your hopes up for anyone?”
Hugh replied:
“Ummm…not…not…no one in particular.”
Ashley: “Okay! Well, what do you wearing tonight then?”
Hugh: “Just my suite.”
Ashley: “Your suit!!! Who made your suit? You didn’t make it.”
Hugh: “I can’t remember my tailor.”
Ashley: “That’s okay! Shoutout to the tailor. So, tell me what does it feels like to be in Glass Onion? It was such an amazing filmi really loved it. I love a thriller. How fun is it to choose something like that?”
Hugh: “Well, I am barely in it. I am in about three seconds.”
Ashley: “Yeah, but still you showed up and you had fun, right?”
Hugh: “Almost.”
Ashley: “Okay, Alright! Thank you so much, it was nice to talk to you.”
As soon as Ashley turned towards the camera, Hugh was seen eye-rolling, before saying, “yeah.”
