Drew Barrymore reacts to Hugh Grant calling her Music & Lyrics singing ‘horrendous’

Drew Barrymore has reacted to Hugh Grant’s brutal complaint about her. The actor co-starred with Grant in the rom-com Music & Lyrics as a songwriter paired with a washed-up pop star to create a chart-topping hit for a teenage pop star (Haley Bennett). Earlier this week, Grant was asked about the film during an interview segment that saw him answer “the web’s most-searched questions”. One of these was: “Does Hugh Grant actually sing in Music & Lyrics?” He told Wired: “Yes, well I do, but I’m auto-tuned beyond belief. Actually, that’s not true – I’m auto-tuned a bit, but not as much as some.” Grant then said of his co-star: “Drew Barrymore was in that film with me and I don’t think she’d mind me saying her singing is just horrendous. I’ve heard dogs bark better than she sings.” Watch more videos at the Independent TV: https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/editors-picks Click here to subscribe to The Independent: https://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Independent About The Independent: Making Change Happen.
