Drew Barrymore sang the song from Lyrics and Music on her show, the movie they both starred in 2007, laughing at the actor's sayings and confirming that she is very out of tune. The British's words come after his controversial visit to the Oscars.
This week has been one to forget for Hugh Grant, who put himself in the eye of the storm for his bad manners on the champagne carpet at the Oscars and his rude comments about his partner in Words and Music, Drew Barrymore.
While Ashley Graham only managed to say that she kept up her education against the British because her mother had taught her "to return good for evil"; Barrymore joked after her colleague remarked on The Drew Barrymore Show with a funny video.
"Oh, Hugh-bert, Hubert, this is for you," she said at the end of the reel in which she sings the refrain of Way Back Into Love, the theme song of the 2007 film.
The British had assumed that both his colleague and he had to auto-tune in her voices but that in her case it was much greater.
"I do have auto-tune, but not as much as some. Drew Barrymore was in that movie with me and I don't think she cares that I say her singing is just horrible. I've heard dogs bark better than she sings," she revealed at the Wired's Web's most-searched questions segment.
Lyrics and Music follows Alex Fletcher, a former '80s pop singer who is in full decline, limited to performing at town fairs and other places of entertainment. When diva Cora Corman suddenly invites him to do a duet on his new album, Alex, who hasn't written a song in years, has to create a hit in a few days. A stranger who comes into his life by chance, Sophie Fisher, will help him write the lyrics. At first, Sophie, fresh out of a bad relationship, doesn't feel like working with anyone. But eventually, both she and Alex realize that they must face their fears.
The truth is that Drew Barrymore did not make much reference to Grant's sayings, but he did launch a hashtag that hits the British directly. “#SingForHughGrant JOIN ME,” he wrote next to the reel that went up to his networks. Thus, the actress and host invite all of her followers to show Hugh that anyone can sing if she puts love and humor into it; It will be necessary to see how the actor falls for the waterfall of videos that, surely, will have him as a recipient.
