Is this a blooper or the new bromance? Comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld is spilling the tea on his surprising relationship with Hugh Grant, his co-star in the upcoming film “Unfrosted.” Get ready for some laughs because this behind-the-scenes drama is pure gold!
Seinfeld, directing his first feature film, says working with the charming Brit was a rollercoaster ride. “We had lots of fights,” Jerry confessed on “The Tonight Show.” Yikes! Apparently, Hugh lives up to his reputation of being a bit difficult. Seinfeld even called him a “pain in the a– to work with.” Ouch! Hugh, is that you?
But wait, there’s more! Jerry says things took a hilarious turn after filming wrapped. “We shot for 10 weeks, and that night that he and I had dinner – and we got drunk having dinner – that was the greatest night,” he revealed. Sounds like they bonded over some post-production cocktails!
So, what changed? Jerry gushes about Hugh’s “English thing,” his wit, and his undeniable charm. “He’s one of those guys. I love those guys,” Seinfeld admits. Looks like Hugh’s off-screen personality won Jerry over completely!
Hugh, on the other hand, has nothing but praise for Jerry. He told Entertainment Weekly that Seinfeld was “very supportive” and “a brilliant comic.” Seems like the feeling is mutual!
Let’s talk casting! Jerry admits Hugh wasn’t his first pick for the role of Tony the Tiger (voiced by the real Thurl Ravenscroft). But hear him out! “I imagined a frustrated Shakespearean actor who has to play this embarrassing character… and Hugh Grant is perfect for that,” Jerry explained. We can’t argue with that logic!
Bonus Fun Fact! Apparently, Hugh himself called the filmmakers about the role! He even sent in a hilarious audition video, complete with a glass of wine! Classic Hugh.
So, will their on-again, off-again dynamic make it to the big screen? We’ll have to wait and see! But one thing’s for sure: “Unfrosted” is already generating major buzz, and this behind-the-scenes drama is only adding to the hype!
