Ashley Graham addresses awkward Hugh Grant interview after he's labelled 'obnoxious'

ok.co.uk:

Ashley Graham has broken her silence on the awkward interview that she conducted with Hugh Grant at Sunday night's Oscars. The interview caused shock across the globe as the 62 year old Notting Hill actor appeared to be unamused by Ashley's questions, giving very short unworkable answers, and even rolled his eyes at one point.

Predictably, there have been reactions to the moment spreading like wildfire as well as many mentions on TV shows, as people are divided on whether Hugh was "rude" or simply displaying a sarcastic British sense of humour.

Model Ashley remained dignified about the interview, as she told TMZ at LAX airport on Monday: "You know what, my mama told me to kill people with kindness." Hugh stopped to speak to Ashley who was one of presenters for ABC’s Countdown To The Oscars, but the rom-com legend looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there.

As Ashley attempted to engage him with a question, she asked the star what his favourite part of attending the Oscars was. She was met with an awkwardly long pause, before Hugh eventually replied: “It’s fascinating … the whole of humanity is here … it’s Vanity Fair.” “Oh yes, it’s all about [the] Vanity Fair [after party], that’s where we need to let loose and have a little fun,” the model replied, seemingly missing Hugh’s reference to the 1848 novel by William Makepeace Thackery, rather than the magazine.Trying again to converse with the 62 year old, Ashley asked Hugh who he was excited to see.
