We’ve all seen our share of awkward celebrity interview moments, but this time Justin Timberlake has fallen victim to the unfortunate yet hilarious circumstance. Justin recently endured one of the most awkward interviews ever with Brazilian radio host Sabrina Sato.
According to E! Online, Justin sat down for an interview with Sato while promoting his latest film Runner, Runner. The language barrier between the “Suit & Tie” singer and the host made for some really uncomfortable but entertaining moments.
Things started out alright when Sato asked Justin about why he chose the film. He responded, “I love how fast paced the movie is. “ The singer also revealed why he gravitated towards his character of Richie saying, “He’s complicated in a sense where he’s trying to do the right thing but can’t help himself.”
Then things turned south when Sato continued to ask questions in her hard to understand broken English.
The dedicated radio host compliment Justin on his performance skills and said he sings and dances “like a black America.” Then, she asks him if he would “want to learn to samba like a black Brazilian?”
The always professional singer-turned-actor laughs off the comment and turns to his publicist, who turns down the offer.
After the rejection, Sato decides to take things to the next level . UpRoxx reports that the radio host then presented JT with a mold of her rear end in a large gift box.
Upon opening the gift, JT says, “Oh my god. This is your butt!” He continues to make it through the awkward moment saying, “[It says] with love. That’s very nice.”
It turns out the Brazilian radio host learned English just so that she could have the opportunity to interview Justin.
