Channel 10 star Angela Bishop gives Hugh Grant a surprise gift after his awkward Oscars interview
Hugh Grant seems to be in much better spirits when he receives a surprise gift from an Australian reporter during a new interview after his awkward Oscar exchange with model Ashley Graham.
Channel 10 presenter Angela Bishop has given Hugh Grant a surprise gift after his awkward Oscars interview with model Ashley Graham went viral.
Following the 95th annual Academy Awards in Hollywood last Sunday, the British actor received immediate backlash on social media for rolling his eyes at the model while interviewing him on the red carpet.
The 62-year-old kept his answers very short and seemed blatantly uninterested in his questions.
Following his awkward interview, Channel 10 spoke to the Notting Hill actor on Friday about his new movie Dungeons & Dragons and was given a gift by presenter Angela Bishop.
She surprised him with a video message from Nicholas Hammond, who played Friedrich Von Trapp in The Sound Of Music, because Hugh said it’s one of his favorite movies.

“I have a message for you from a very good friend of mine, Nicholas Hammond, who played Frederick,” Angela said.
Nicholas’s video message was then shown on the screen, saying “My great friend Angela Bishop told me you enjoyed the film and it’s great to hear that, I’ll pass it on to the other Von Trapp kids.”
‘I wanted you to know that I am very happy that you liked it and I also really enjoy all your work.
‘I’ll go now, so long with Hugh, and Hugh and Hugh!’

The British actor later said that it was so lovely to get a message from him and that he was a bit impressed.
She seemed much more cheerful in the interview compared to her disastrous appearance on the Oscars red carpet, and thanked Angela for the kind thought.
During her awkward red-carpet chat with model Ashley, the About A Boy star kept her answers short and seemed blatantly uninterested in her questions.
Starting the chat, the bubbly Ashley said: ‘What was it like being in Glass Onion? How fun is it to film something like that?’
But he was met with an embarrassing response: “Well, I’m barely on it, I was on it for about three seconds,” Hugh said.
‘It must have been fun though, you had fun right?’ Ashley said as she went through the one-sided chat.

‘Erm…almost,’ the actor replied while looking away.
Smiling and enduring the interview, the model asked: ‘What are you wearing?’ While Hugh offered an insightful: “My suit.”
Viewers at home were quite embarrassed by the exchange, as they praised Ashley for how she handled the difficult situation and called the timing “the worst” since Will Smith’s infamous slap of Chris Rock at the 2022 ceremony.
However, others called her questions boring and questioned why a model with little hosting experience was interviewing on the Oscars red carpet.
The British actor later said that it was so lovely to get a message from Nicholas, and that he was a bit surprised by the star.
