In 2011, the [[BBC]] apologised after Grant made an offhand joke about [[homosexuality]] and rugby when he was invited into the commentary box during coverage of an [[England national rugby union team|England]] v [[Scotland national rugby union team|Scotland]] game at [[Twickenham Stadium]].

=== Relationships with co-stars ===
In 2018, Grant mentioned the on-set tension that he and [[Robert Downey Jr.]] had, stating: "He [Downey] hated me. He took one look at me and wanted to kill me. I was so hurt."<ref name="JessCagleInterview">{{cite web |url=https://www.peopleewnetwork.com/video/hugh-grant-c21a69e8-c4e9-426e-b6a5-05d9010d9cdb |title=The Jess Cagle Interview: Hugh Grant |publisher=PeopleTV |first=Jess |last=Cagle |date=January 2018 |access-date=3 April 2018 |archive-date=4 April 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180404134521/https://www.peopleewnetwork.com/video/hugh-grant-c21a69e8-c4e9-426e-b6a5-05d9010d9cdb |url-status=dead}}</ref> After Grant confirmed their decades-long feud, Downey went on Twitter to publicly make amends with him, to which Grant agreed.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/robert-downey-jr-kill-hugh-grant_us_5a58b2fde4b02cebbfdb02ff |title=Robert Downey Jr. Responds To Claim He 'Wanted To Kill' Hugh Grant |first=Carly |last=Ledbetter |date=12 January 2018 |newspaper=[[The Huffington Post]] |access-date=1 April 2018}}</ref>

In addition to the confirmation, Grant also said that he and [[Drew Barrymore]] did not get along during production of ''[[Music and Lyrics]]''. "Well, Drew, I think did hate me a bit. But I admired her. We just were very different human beings," Grant said. "She was very L.A. and I was an old grumpy Londoner. The funny thing is, although it was fractionally tense on the set of that film, I think the chemistry is rather good between us. Sometimes tension makes a good crackle."<ref name="JessCagleInterview"/> Barrymore had also been one out of three leading ladies Grant listed whom he did not get along with, the others being [[Julianne Moore]] and [[Rachel Weisz]].<ref name="AboutAMan">{{cite web|url=https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a10746/hugh-grant-interview/|title=Hugh Grant: About A Man|first=Holly|last=Millea|date=15 December 2009|work=[[Elle (magazine)|Elle]]|access-date=1 April 2018}}</ref> However, on a ''[[Graham Norton Show]]'' appearance, Grant told [[Graham Norton]] he did not know why he mentioned Weisz and he was probably "going for a 'comedy triple'".<ref>''[[The Graham Norton Show]]''. Episode dated 15 April 2016.</ref> He is now on good terms with Barrymore and appeared on ''[[The Drew Barrymore Show]]''.

Grant has praised many other female co-stars, including [[Sandra Bullock]], [[Sarah Jessica Parker]],<ref name="AboutAMan" /> [[Emma Thompson]], and [[Meryl Streep]], who co-starred with him in ''[[Florence Foster Jenkins (film)|Florence Foster Jenkins]]'' and was "a genius" according to Grant.
