It’s a vanity fair,” he said, to which Graham interpreted as meaning Vanity Fair’s famous post-Oscars party. “You know what? “Andie’s been using one every day for the last 29 years, I’ve never used one in my life.” “It’s fascinating. The British actor shared that Sigourney Weaver, 73, told him that he doesn’t “look like a scrotum,” and her approval of the joke “relaxed” him. He described MacDowell as “still stunning” — and himself as “basically a scrotum.”

Drew Barrymore shared a wholesome response to Hugh Grant jokingly calling her singing "horrendous" in 'Music and Lyrics.'

The Marc Lawrence-directed film follows former music superstar Alex Fletcher (Grant) who gets an opportunity at a career comeback when he’s asked to write a song for teen sensation Cora Corman (Haley Bennett). once they tuned her up, she sounded way better than me, because she’s got heart and voice and rock ‘n’ roll. [WIRED video interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPNO8cGEM7M) posted Monday, where he answers “the web’s most-searched questions,” the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves actor was asked, “Does Hugh Grant actually sing in [Music and Lyrics](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/music-lyrics-159462/)?” He responded that he does, but he’s “auto-tuned beyond belief. Whereas I sounded like Julie Andrews and I meant to be kind of rock ‘n’ roll as well.” “I’ve heard dogs bark better than she sings,” he added in a joking manner. Following the WIRED interview, the Charlie’s Angels actress was all smiles when she took to Instagram Thursday to share a clip of her singing “Way Back Into Love,” from Music and Lyrics, with the caption “#SingForHughGrant JOIN ME.” After showing off her vocals, she addresses Grant, saying, “Oh Hugh, Bert, Hubert, that’s for you.” Actually, that’s not true.

While laughing, the actor went on to say that Barrymore, who starred opposite him in the 2007 rom-com, wouldn’t mind him saying that “her singing is just horrendous” in the film.

The British actor is now focused on offending pretty much everyone else in Hollywood.

“I lost my temper with a woman in my eyeline on day one,” Grant said of his moment on set. Their talk caused controversy and many social media users labeled him as an [“a – – hole.”](https://nypost.com/2023/03/13/from-the-biggest-a-hole-to-the-most-selfish-nominee-my-uncensored-oscars-awards/) “So it’s a little in-joke from Roger Michell, God rest his soul.” A lot of groveling …” Then it turns out that she’s an extremely nice local woman who was the chaperone of the young girl.

'I was nervous – I wrote that joke and I was extremely nervous about it,' actor revealed.

Grant says a conversation with the Avatar star calmed his "extremely nervous" feelings about making the joke alongside Andie MacDowell at the Oscars.

"I've never used one in my life." (EW has reached out to representatives for Weaver for confirmation.) "I was nervous.

He was in a long-term relationship with actor/model [Liz Hurley](/topic/liz-hurley) at the time. He has rarely addressed it in the decades since. [Grant was arrested by Los Angeles police for participating in “lewd conduct”](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/hugh-grant-arrest-mugshot-divine-brown-sex-worker-twitter-a9233586.html) in a public place with a sex worker named [Divine Brown](/topic/divine-brown). It was nothing to do with that.” The actor then continued: “But actually it had nothing to do with that because that was never uncovered by tabloids. For both things I am more sorry than I can ever possibly say.”

Hugh Grant has branded Drew Barrymore's singing worse than barking dogs in a chat about their 2007 flick 'Music and Lyrics'.

"I wrote that joke, and I was still extremely nervous about it," Grant revealed.

“I was nervous — I wrote that joke, and I was still extremely nervous about it. But I was very nervous about it.” “Still stunning,” Grant said, referring to his former co-star, who apparently has “been wearing one every day for the last 29 years.”
