Netflix’s upcoming ‘Unfrosted: The Pop Tart Story’ by Jerry Seinfeld is a much-awaited release. Despite the bizarreness of the plot, the movie has a cast filled with stars and comedians including Amy Schumer and Bill Burr.
Additionally, the movie led to actor Hugh Grant sending an audition tape to be a part of it. This was Grant’s first audition tape in almost three decades. So, Seinfeld joking about Hugh being ‘horrible’ is even funnier.
Jerry Seinfeld Talks About Working With Hugh Grant
While on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ Seinfeld opened up about his experience with working with Hugh Grant. He said, “We had lots of fights. He’s a pain in the ass to work with. He’s horrible. He tells you before you work with him: ‘You’re gonna hate this.’ And he’s so right.”
Despite the issues on set Jerry revealed that it did not stop him from enjoying a night out with Grant. “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. Because he’s so cool, and he’s that English thing, you know, that witty. He looks good in a jacket … he’s one of those guys. I love those guys,” he added.

Jerry revealed that he did not have Hugh in mind for the part. However, Hugh himself called him wanting to be a part of the movie. “I did not think of Hugh Grant for the part,” Seinfeld said. I imagined a frustrated Shakespearean actor who has to play this embarrassing character to make his car payments. But he called us and he said: ‘I want to be in the Pop-Tart movie.’
He further talked about Hugh’s auditioning for the role. “So he did an audition on his phone with a glass of wine on the other hand, by the way. Like I care what the audition was. I go: ‘Yeah, sure, you’re Tony the Tiger, sure.’”
