Hugh Grant is a phenomenal actor who has appeared in numerous films and TV shows including but not limited toNotting Hill, a rom-com co-starring Julia Roberts. The movieFour Weddings and a Funeralbought him public attention, and since then, Grant has starred in blockbusters likeLove Actually,Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason,andMusic and Lyrics,co-starring alongside Drew Barrymore.
Hugh Grant disses Drew Barrymore’s singing
The charming actor once appeared onThe Graham NortonShow along with Meryl Streep, where he disclosed how many leading ladies hate him. The actor had several female leads who despise him, including the likes of Julia Roberts, Rachel Weisz, and Drew Barrymore.
TheNotting Hillactor humorously elaborates that there was already some off-screen tension between him and Barrymore, but after“she made the mistake of giving me notes,”says Grant, things were irreversible after that. Hugh Grant was offended mostly because Drew Barrymore dared to give him notes despite being a horrendous singer herself.
The Undoingstar gave an interview with WIRED to promote his recent filmDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Among a series of AI-generated questions, one of them was about his performance inMusic and Lyrics,andhewas asked if it was him who is singing, to which Grant said,
“That’s not true; I’m auto-tuned a bit, but not as much as some. Drew Barrymore was in that film with me, and I don’t think she’d mind me saying her singing is just horrendous,”
He continued,
“But having said that, once they tuned her up, she sounded way better than me — because she’s got heart and voice and rock ‘n’ roll, whereas I sounded like Julie Andrews, and I’m meant to be rock ‘n’ roll.”

Barrymore used the platform of her show to discuss Grant’s comments and confirmed that she was not offended in the least,
“If you know Hugh, that is his way of loving you. It’s funny, too, because there’s this thing going around with him and Ashley Graham on the red carpet. And people are like, ‘He’s such a curmudgeon. And she’s so thrown.’ I’m like, ‘No, that is Hugh Grant.’”
She continued,
“You think you’re getting this charming movie star, and what you get is grumpy Hugh,”she said.“And then you fall in love with grumpy Hugh. It took me a second, probably like Ashley Graham on the carpet. Like, ‘Oh who am I dealing with.’ And then I was like, ‘Oh no, I love you, I want to love you. You’re not letting me love you.’”
