Hugh Grant said that Drew Barrymore needed more auto-tuning on “Music and Lyrics” than he did.

Hugh Grant said that his”music and lyrics“Costar Drew Barrymore required more autotuning than him as her natural singing voice was “just awful”.
in one Wired video interview with “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among ThievesThe actors, along with co-stars Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez, took turns answering “the internet’s most searched questions” about themselves, including whether Grant actually sang in the 2007 rom-com.
In the film, he played a beat-up 1980s pop star who hires the woman who waters his plants (Barrymore) to help write a comeback hit. The pair regularly sing together as they try to invent a song for rising pop star Cora (Haley Bennett), which Grant has admitted didn’t sound as good on set as it did to the audience.
“Does Hugh Grant actually sing on ‘Music and Lyrics’?” said Pine, reading the question to which Grant replied, “Yes, I do, but I’m incredibly automatic.”
