Hugh Grant's viral Ashley Graham interview on the Oscars 2023 red carpet has divided the internet. Was he being rude?

“No one in particular.” Who made his tuxedo? “Hugh Grant steps forward to be interviewed at the Oscars, then gives most awkward, painful interview ever,” tweeted former NBCUniversal executive Mike Sington. It’s ‘Vanity Fair,’” Grant responded, chuckling and raising his eyebrows. “You know what, my mom has told me to kill them with kindness, so there you go,” Graham said. “Ugh, it’s fascinating.

It seemed to me that he made an effort to answer the questions that were ill-prepared and not at all relevant to the kind of person he is. He smiled and seemed to do his best to give some sort of response, even if this was not appreciated by the worldwide audience. Or perhaps his replies were just his way of trying to manage an awkward situation. It’s clear to see that the actor was uncomfortable with the line of questioning, which was a little vacuous and superficial. I thought he answered the best way he could and that he couldn’t wait for it to be over. As usual, the Oscars created a few headlines, and not for the movies they’re meant to honor.
