“Jerry brings different things to the table.
He’s a brilliant comic, and he’d written a great script.
He was lovely and very supportive of me.”

“It’s veryPaddington 2,” Grant teases.
“Perhaps too much.
[Ravenscroft] was a very grand theater thespian who thought all this was very beneath him.
So that’s really the joke of the whole thing.

Meanwhile, Seinfeld told Jimmy Fallon onThe Tonight Showthat Grant was a major headache.
“We had lots of fights.
Hes a pain in the ass to work with.
Hes horrible, Seinfeld recalled.
He tells you before you work with him, Youre gonna hate this.
And hes so right.
Though he also clarified that he and Grant were fast friends by the end of filming.
Because hes so cool and hes that English thing, you know, that witty.
He looks good in a jacket … hes one of those guys.
I love those guys.”
“I don’t know anything more delicious,” he declares.
“Except perhapsCocoa Pops.”
Unfrostedhits Netflix on May 3.
