It doesn’t ring a bell.
Hugh Grant said he does not recall making out with Luann de Lesseps after she shared that they locked lips during a night of drinking.
“Steady on. I do remember meeting a charming RHNY [sic] in a restaurant, but I’d like to stress it was about 15 years ago,” the “Notting Hill” star wrote on X Monday alongside a screenshot of an article about the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum’s remarks.
“I don’t recall shots or kissing but her memory might be better than mine,” he added.
Grant’s post comes three days after de Lesseps detailed the interaction, which took place at Pierre’s restaurant in the Hamptons.
“A girlfriend of mine called me and was like. ‘Hugh Grant is at Pierre’s.’ I said, ‘I’ll be right over.’ I called and said, ‘Get the table right next to Hugh Grant,’” she recalled in an interview with TooFab.
“I had my family over, my brother was visiting me, and I said, ‘Let’s go.’”
The reality star, 59, then said she began flirting with the “Bridget Jones’s Diary” actor, 64, after being asked to sit near him in the eatery.
“I said, ‘Sit me right behind him.’ I pushed out my chair real fast, and I bumped into him — flirting 101 — I bumped into him and said, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry,’” she claimed.
De Lesseps said Grant immediately recognized her because they were both pals with Bravo exec Andy Cohen, so she offered to buy him a drink.
“I go, ‘I’m so sorry. Can I buy you a shot? I feel terrible.’ He goes, ‘OK, but I’ll come have a shot with you if you do one with me,’” the “Chic C’est La Vie” singer recalled.
“Before you know it, we are 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.’”
De Lesseps admitted she and Grant were both “kinda tipsy at that point.”
The Bravolebrity was previously married to Alexandre de Lesseps from 1993 to 2009.
In 2016, de Lesseps tied the knot with Tom D’Agostino Jr. They called it quits in the following year.
Meanwhile, Grant has been married to TV producer Anna Eberstein since 2018.
