What did Hugh Grant say to Ashley Graham during his Oscars 2023 interview?

During the Oscars 2023 red carpet, Hugh Grant stopped by for an interview with Ashley Graham.

As Ashley asked Hugh a number of questions, he appeared to keep his answers short.

When the Sports Illustrated model asked the actor what his "favorite thing about coming to this Oscars" was, he replied with hesitancy.

He went on to call the ceremony ";fascinating" and labeled it "a vanity fair."

Ashley also asked Hugh if he was "excited to see anybody or see anybody win?"

The actor responded with: "No one in particular."

The questions then segued into Hugh's fashion choice, to which he declined to name the designer of his tuxedo.

Ashley then questioned him about his role in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, to which Hugh remarked: "Well I'm barely in it! I'm in it for about three seconds."
