“I swear if you know Hugh that’s his way of loving you,” Barrymore said during the episode. “I swear, okay, so that’s funny too, because there’s this thing that’s going on with him and Ashley Graham on the red carpet, and people are like, he’s so grumpy and she’s so pier.”

Barrymore also took to his Instagram page to share a fun throwback to Grant’s comments about his singing.
In the video she posted, Barrymore sang the song from the movie into a hairbrush, writing in the caption “#SingForHughGrant JOIN ME.”
Since appearing at the 2023 Oscars, Grant hasn’t spoken publicly about meeting Graham.
