HUGH AND DREW MAKE MUSIC TOGETHER

Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore made a great team as a songwriting duo in Music and Lyrics.

Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore become an unlikely songwriting duo in Music & Lyrics when Hugh’s aging ’80s pop star is commissioned to write the next hit song and discovers his plant caretaker Drew can turn a phrase.

This was the first time they worked together and their chemistry made for beautiful music.

[Drew] “I would say the very same thing I would say behind Hugh’s back which is I adore him and I loved working with him. He was very professional and cares so much about getting it right and making it the best that it can be.”

Hugh jokes they were different as night and day.

“This is all lies, because I’m not easy. She’s full of sunshine.” [Drew] “He is intense sometimes.” [Hugh] “Yeah, exactly. I’m miserable and very anxious but silent on the set and she’s very, very buoyant and full of life, brings friends with her, sunshine everywhere. And so it was a terrible mismatch but she was very tolerant. [Drew] “That said we did become dear friends and he is a very funny, lovely caring person. And I had a great time and my heart absolutely loves Hubert now.”

Hugh and Drew do all their own singing in Music & Lyrics with songs penned by Fountains of Wayne co-founder Adam Schlesinger.
