11 most awkward celebrity red carpet interview moments ever, from Taylor Swift’s clap back at the Grammys and Jim Carrey’s existential rant, to Hugh Grant’s curt Oscars exchange
- Taylor Swift shot back when asked if she was going to walk home with ‘lots of men’ at the 2015 Grammys and Jim Carrey said he believes ‘we’re a field of energy dancing through itself’
- Empire actor Terrence Howard rambled on about his retirement and ‘platonic solids’ at the 2019 Emmys while Dakota Johnson had a tiff on air with mum Melanie Griffith at the 2015 Oscars
It’s not uncommon for celebrities and interviewers to get off on the wrong foot on the red carpet. Hugh Grant, Tiffany Haddish and Taylor Swift have had three of the most awkward red carpet moments of the last decade.
From weird remarks to rude replies, here’s our round-up of some of the most cringeworthy red carpet moments in recent years, featuring Swift, Jim Carrey, Kate Hudson, Haddish and more.
1. Hugh Grant at the 2023 Oscars
Ashley Graham asked Hugh Grant some pretty standard questions while interviewing him on the red carpet for ABC’s Countdown to the Oscars – but he didn’t indulge her one bit. After struggling to engage the actor, Graham tried asking an age-old carpet question: “Well, what are you wearing tonight then?”
“Just my suit,” Grant replied.
And it only gets worse. When asked about his appearance in the 2022 murder mystery hit Glass Onion, Grant replied, “Well, I’m barely in it. I’m in it for about three seconds.”
The painful exchange left us with one question: if he didn’t want to be there, why’d he stop for the interview at all?
