Oscar viewers found themselves wincing during Hugh Grant and Ashely Graham’s awkward red carpet interaction.
The Four Weddings and a Funeral actor, 62, was among the stars who attended the annual Hollywood bash, which was hosted by comedian and presenter Jimmy Kimmel.
However, his interview with the 34-year-old supermodel was branded ‘the most awkward moment’ since Will Smith infamously slapped Chris Rock for a joke the comedian made about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair at last year’s Academy Awards.
The Notting Hill star struggled to hide his disinterest and summed up most of his answers in three words or less.
‘What was it like to be in Glass Onion? How fun is it to shoot something like that?’ Ashley enthusiastically began.
‘Well I’m barely in it, I was in it for about three seconds,’ Hugh quipped.

Trying her hardest to push through, Ashley asked the Oscar’s veteran: ‘What are you wearing?
‘My suit,’ Hugh simply said.
Yikes.
Once the conversation (we use that word loosely) was over, Hugh appeared to roll his eyes, which led viewers to praise Ashley’s professionalism.
Safe to say the head-scratching encounter sparked a divide online, with one person tweeting: ‘Why was Hugh grant so rude?? Shout out to Ashley for holding up the conversation. / getting through that.’
‘Do you think Hugh Grant know his rude red carpet interview went viral yet,’ another added.
While some viewers were left seething, others tried to make light of the moment.

One person enthused: ‘Hugh Grant just gave the most dismissive interview I’ve ever seen, it was amazing. I’m paraphrasing but: “I LOVED Glass Onion, didn’t you love being in that?” “Well I was in it for about three seconds.” “But you showed up and had fun!” “Yeah, not really.”’
This year’s Oscars ceremony saw the sci-fi epic Everything Everywhere All At Once dominating the ceremony and scooping up the coveted best picture prize.
