The British actor shared that Sigourney Weaver, 73, told him that he doesn’t “look like a scrotum,” and her approval of the joke “relaxed” him. He described MacDowell as “still stunning” — and himself as “basically a scrotum.”

Drew Barrymore shared a wholesome response to Hugh Grant jokingly calling her singing "horrendous" in 'Music and Lyrics.'

During one such disruptive appearance on The Daily Show, Hugh Grant managed to not only appear offensive to the show’s crew with his off-putting mannerisms but angered the host so much that Stewart kicked him off his show.
