Drew Barrymore is unfazed by Hugh Grant’s spree of offending all of Hollywood.
After making quite a few headlines for remarks he made at the 2023 Oscars, Grant poked fun at former co-star Barrymore’s singing during a Wired interview alongside his “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” castmates Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez.
During the interview, Grant, 62, was answering “the web’s most-searched questions” and was asked if he actually sang in the 2007 rom-com “Music and Lyrics.”
The British actor admitted that he does sing, but he’s “auto-tuned beyond belief. Actually, that’s not true. I’m auto-tuned a bit, but not as much as some.”
He went on to throw Barrymore, 48, who starred opposite him in the movie, under the bus, calling her singing skills “horrendous.”

He added, “But…once they tuned her up, she sounded way better than me, because she’s got heart and voice and rock ‘n’ roll. Whereas I sounded like Julie Andrews and I meant to be kind of rock ‘n’ roll as well.”

She posted the video to Instagram with the caption, “#SingForHughGrant JOIN ME.”
After she finished singing into a hairbrush, she addressed Grant directly, saying, “Oh Hugh, Bert, Hubert, that’s for you.”
Meanwhile, Grant went viral after the Oscars following a “rude” encounter with ABC Oscars red-carpet host Ashley Graham, 35.
The “Notting Hill” actor was seen rolling his eyes at the end of the awkward interview, prompting viewers to describe the star as “a total a–hole.”
He also made headlines after a crude joke cracked on stage while presenting at the 95th Academy Awards alongside his “Four Weddings and a Funeral” co-star Andie MacDowell, where he described himself as “basically a scrotum.”

“I think I got away with it,” he said of the self-deprecating line.
