With celebrities being expected to promote their movies, television series, and albums more and more these days, it makes sense that there will be an occasional awkward interview. Some stars grow tired of answering the same questions repeatedly, and some interviewers don’t understand what qualifies as a rude question.
To help us remember all awkward celebrity interviews that ever were WorldWideInterweb created a compilation video of some of the most uncomfortable interviews from the past few decades.
The video includes some of the classics like the Joaquin Phoenix David Letterman interview, and Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch. There are also a few equally awkward but forgotten interviews. One of the more recent clips that appeared in the supercut was an Australian interviewer asking Amy Schumer if we have the word “skanky” in America, as she promoted her film Trainwreck.
The Ultimate Awkward Celebrity Interviews Supercut by worldwideinterweb
This summer brought an abundance of these cringe-worthy interviews. Cara Delevigne was involved in one with Good Day Sacramento in which the anchors asked her why she wasn’t as excited to promote her film Paper Towns as she was earlier in the week. Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart staged an uncomfortable interview while promoting their film American Ultra. Michael B. Jordan and Kate Mara were caught in an awkward interview while promoting Fantastic Four, before their publicists shut the interview down.
