Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore starred in the movie Music and Lyrics together, and they sang a duet. That should sound like music to your ears, but Grant says it wasn’t. During a recent interview with Wired’s Web’s Most Searched, he said her “singing is just horrendous. I mean, I’ve heard dogs bark better than she sings.”
How did Barrymore react to him saying that? First, she recorded a video of herself singing their song, Way Back Into Love. Then, she talked about it on The Drew Barrymore Show on Friday.
“If you know Hugh, that is his way of loving you,” the actress said. “You think you are getting this charming movie star, and what you get is grumpy Hugh. And then you fall in love with grumpy Hugh. When he says that, I’m telling you like he is being absolutely funny. He doesn’t mean one negative thing about it.”
In other words, he is British. And we are just not used to it. We just think he is the man he plays in all of those Rom-Coms. But he isn’t.
Barrymore ended her thoughts about her co-star with, “He is a hilarious, good human being.” And if she is saying that, she means it. I think.
