rude to Ashley Graham at the Oscars, the British actor, 62, is now adamant about offending pretty much everyone else in Hollywood — from “Notting Hill” fans to former co-star Drew Barrymore and even an extra on set.He recently appeared in a Wired interview alongside his “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” castmates Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez.The “Love Actually” alum revealed during the clip how he made fun of Barrymore’s singing during their 2007 rom-com “Music & Lyrics.”“I’m auto-tuned a bit, but not as much as some,” Grant divulged of his singing in the flick. “Drew Barrymore was in that film with me and I don’t think she’d mind me saying her singing is just horrendous.
I’ve heard dogs bark better than she sings,” he confessed.However, after “they tuned her up,” Grant said the “Scream” star “sounded way better than me because she’s got heart and voice and rock ‘n’ roll.”Elsewhere in his interview, the “Four Weddings and a Funeral” actor recalled a detail in the finale of his 1999 movie “Notting Hill” that he described as “nauseating.”“Notting Hill” follows Julia Roberts as Anna Scott, an actress who falls in love with Grant’s William Thacker — a bookshop owner — while shooting her latest project.The last scene features the loved-up couple at a park, where William reads the book, “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin,” which had significant meaning to “Notting Hill” director Roger Michell.“In that nauseating moment on the bench at the end, I’m reading ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’ by Louis de Bernières, which was going to be his next film,” Grant explained. “So it’s a little in-joke from Roger Michell, God rest his soul.”Michell died in 2021 at the age of 65.
