Hugh Grant reveals he agreed to play the role of Bayfield in Florence Foster Jenkins after reading the script and finding out Meryl Streep would play the lead. He discusses Bayfield, who was "a bit of a failure in life," but was the key to stopping Florence from realizing just how bad a singer she really was. Hugh praises Meryl and how difficult it was to reproduce "funny" bad singing. He also reveals his biggest challenge in the film was a swing dancing scene, but he ended up "quite enjoying it."
