Oscars. "Don't worry @ashleygraham … now you see why Hugh Grant isn't one of our favorites to interview live," Jason tweeted. "Well done working around his nonsense."Don't worry @ashleygraham….now you see why Hugh Grant isn't one of our favorites to interview live.

Well done working around his nonsense. #OscarOn Sunday, Ashley chatted with the "Notting Hill" star for ABC's "On the Red Carpet Live," but things quickly got awkward, as the actor seemed disinterested in the chat and in the show itself.

During the interview, Hugh told Ashley he wasn't cheering for anyone in particular; said he was wearing "just my suit" but didn't name the designer; and said he "almost" had fun during his "three seconds" in the movie "Glass Onion." It seems that not everyone was sympathetic to Ashley."As a pro, maybe Ashley could have kept in mind his history of interviews & been more strategic if she wanted to interview him so badly," one person tweeted.

They added, "Weren't there any number of other people to speak with."Jason immediately chimed in, noting that red carpets are chaotic and interviews are often prearranged."Not the case," Jason reacted to the claim that other celebrities were available to speak with. "It's pre produced for a broadcast like that, not her call."In media circles, Hugh is notorious for being difficult to interview, and he's aware of his reputation.
