Drew Barrymore had a surprisingly sweet answer for her on Thursday Music and words actor Hugh Grant criticized her singing voice. He simply performed part of the film’s big song, the catchy “Way Back Into Love.” He ignored the notes and all, using a hairbrush as his microphone.
“Oh, Hugh… bert. Hubert,” she said before singing again. “That’s for uuuuu.”
Earlier this week, Grant had called the actor and talk show host “just horrible.”
It happened during the interview Wiredwhen the star of the future Dungeons and Dragons: Honor among Thieves he was asked if he had sung himself in the 2007 rom-com, in which Grant plays a washed-up pop star who teams up with Barrymore to write a catchy pop song for a Britney Spears-like celebrity (played by Haley Bennett). The song they came up with is the catchy “Way Back Into Love,” which was actually written by the late Adam Schlesinger. The official soundtrack version of the song is actually credited to Grant and Barrymore.
“Yes, I do, but I’m incredibly auto-tuned,” said Grant, who sat alongside Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez. “Actually, that’s not true, I’m a bit on auto-tune, but not as much as some. Drew Barrymore was in that movie with me and I don’t think she’d mind if I said her singing was scary.”
He added with a laugh, “I’ve heard dogs bark better than he sings.”
Ouch.
“But having said that, when they tuned her, she sounded a lot better than me,” Grant said, “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.”
The duo performed last year when he performed The Drew Barrymore Show, that they have remained friends since their movie hit theaters. And it turns out that their first interaction was when he contacted her, as she put it, “in the dark days of my divine brown scandal.”
“You will always have a place in my heart,” Grant told her.
The host then mentioned that Grant is “kind of awkward,” which he appeared to be on Sunday’s Oscars red carpet when he gave a painfully awkward interview with model Ashley Graham after she refused to answer his questions. more than a few words. Graham’s own response, which he gave to the TMZ cameras, was: “You know what, my mom told me to kill people with kindness.
