Hugh Grant responds to RHONY star Luann de Lesseps' claim they 'heavily' made out with each other

Hugh Grant has broken his silence on RHONY star Luann de Lesseps' claim they 'heavily made out' with each other in the Hamptons.

Earlier this month the OG cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City, 59, revealed she kissed the Four Weddings and a Funeral star, 64, during a drunken night in the Hamptons.

She later admitted she had set up the romantic encounter by bumping into the star on purpose before suggesting they take shots.

Sharing a screenshot of a People article containing de Lesseps' revelations, Grant wrote on X: 'Steady on. I do remember meeting a charming RHNY in a restaurant, but I’d like to stress it was about 15 years ago.

'I don’t recall shots or kissing but her memory might be better than mine.'

De Lesseps quickly responded with a 'Literally crying laughing' meme 

In 2009 de Lesseps was newly-single after splitting from first husband Alexandre following a 16 year marriage. 

Playing Never Have I Ever with Andy Cohen, 56, on Watch What Happens Live, de Lesseps first made the shocking revelation - saying: 'Remember Hugh Grant?' and Cohen quickly replied, 'Well, but nothing happened.'

De Lesseps blurted out, 'Well, making out,' and Cohen retorted, 'Wait, was I there?'

The Countess said, 'No, but Jimmy Fallon was,' as the game came to an end. 

In an interview with Too Fab during her Marry F Kill! cabaret tour she further detailed how she decided to visit Pierre's restaurant after a friend told her the actor was there.

She said: 'I called and said, "Get the table right next to Hugh Grant". I had my family over, my brother was visiting me, and I said, "Let's go."'

Employing 'flirting 101' she bumped her chair into him and then profusely apologized.

She said: 'I go, "I'm so sorry. Can I buy you a shot? I feel terrible". He goes, "Okay, but I'll come have a shot with you if you do one with me."'

She said the pair ended up 'taking shots and making out … heavily at the table. My brother was like, "I can't believe you're making out with Hugh Grant" and I was like, "Neither can I".'

Grant is married to Anna Eberstein and the pair share son John Mungo, born in 2012, and daughters Lulu, born in 2015 and Blue, born in 2018.

He also shares Tabitha, 13, and Felix, 11 with ex Tinglan Hong.
