Celebrities Shutting Down Disrespectful Interviewers

sometimes celebrities just have to put rude interviewers in their place like when Matthew mccon had a tense face off with joy bayar after she interrupted him just to insult his close personal friend tennis champion Novak jovic I was happy to be in his box got to sit behind his parents which was really awesome to see them when he brings them up aner I believe an antier so yeah things only got worse when mcc's political aspirations came up with bear nearly derailing the actor's campaign before it even began do you think you can get elected in

Texas being anti-gun do I think I could get elected in Texas being anti-gun one thing about if me in politics is to give you a direct statement right there is be playing a game that I'm not interested in playing to give you a direct statement right there from that moment mcc's aggravation became unmistakable much like Tom Cruz's reaction when an interviewer posed intrusive questions about his then recent divorce from actress Nicole Kidman was Nicole the love of your love what do you what do you mean Peter you were married for 10 years listen we rais

children I after failing to read the room the interviewer continued with yet another prying question prompting crw to decisively shut him down and do you have a relationship where you you talk to parenting relationship and talk professionally about each other's why don't we why listen here's here's the thing Peter you're stepping over a line now you're stepping over a line you know you are I suppose there questions people want to know pet Peter you want to know take responsibility for what you want to know don't say what other people this is a conversation that I'm

having with you right now okay so I'm just telling you right now okay just put your manners back in nevertheless few celebrities have endured greater public humiliation than actress Lindsay Lohan who was openly mocked about her personal and legal troubles during this widely criticized interview with David Letterman aren't you supposed to be in rehab now and how long will we be in rehab uh three months how many times have you been in rehab several and what what how will this time be different what are they rehabbing first of all what what is on their list

what what are they going to work on when you walk through the door we didn't discuss in the this in the pre- interiew no the actress appeared on the show to promote her upcoming movie but found herself desperately trying to steer the interview back on track as Letterman persistently made cruel jokes at her expense you have to be in rehab May 2nd are you going to be there you'll be there right who's taking you to rehab you don't want to talk about that either right oh God when you go to the rehab what do they

do let's this is we have we're here for a movie we have to what let's stay on the positive oh like aside from that side of the positive yeah all right come on now things got so bad that Lohan was actually on the verge of tears with her voice noticeably shaking as she struggled to maintain her composure no I don't want people to think that I'm making a joke of that no you shouldn't make a joke because this could be good for you it will be good for you yeah it will yeah have you been

to this place no it's not like a joking matter no but the bullying doesn't stop there as actor Jonah Hill has faced numerous jokes about his weight in various interviews over the years Jonah do you think it's important to be unattractive to be funny can skinny people be funny what the man you know I I I don't understand can you just ask a normal question are you the fat guy in Hollywood still or or is everybody like look at you and they're like oh wow you know this is great now you're healthy uh do you

have any other questions that are smart first of all you smell good which is surprising why is that surprising I don't know I just wouldn't think of a you a guy who would have a nice scent on and it that's such a like I'm going to really work hard to not take that as a shot you know what I mean similarly mad men's Christina hris hates it when interviewers make comments about her body with the actress once even shutting down an interview over such a remark you have been an inspiration as a full figured woman

what is the most inspiring story that you can remember where you were inspired someone um uh I don't I don't know I don't know I've I've gotten I'm sorry despite the awkward moment the host would make yet another attempt to discuss the actress's figure however this time Hendrick firmly puts her in her place you've been known as a an inspiration for women as being a full figure what is the most I mean it just said you just said it again it's just just sort of but when it comes to shutting down inappropriate questions perhaps no

one does it better than Tom Hardy whose 2015 exchange with an intrusive reporter spread like wildfire online um your own sexuality seems a bit more ambiguous do you find it hard for celebrities to talk to their sex to talk to Media about their sexuality what on Earth are you want about despite his visible agitation Hardy kept his cool with many commending the actor for the way he assertively set boundaries around his personal life but what is your question I was wondering if you find it difficult for celebrities to talk with their sexuality I don't find

it difficult for celebrities to talk about their sexuality um are you asking me about my sexuality um sure why why um thank you okay but if you thought that clip was cringe inducing just wait until you see how Hardy handled another disrespectful interviewer in this next painfully awkward segment I have a question for Tom Hardy Tom I'll preference my remarks by saying that I have five sisters a wife a daughter and a mother so I know what it's like to be uh out outgunned by estrogen but I just wanted to ask you as you were

reading the script did you ever think why are all these women in here I thought this is supposed to be a man's movie no not for one minute good for you that's kind of obvious Hardy's co-star in The Dark Knight Rises an Hathaway would also have to silence a rude reporter who appeared to have an unusual fixation on her physical fitness you are in phenomenal shape thank you you're very will you you're always in great shape but you had to make sure you were in perfect shape for this one didn't you it wasn't about being

in perfect shape it was about being able to do the stunts and the fighting perfectly as the interviewer persisted in questioning Hathaway about her physique she grew increasingly frustrated is is there a certain regimen you put yourself through in terms of the diet the workout what is the feline Fitness regime um a lot it's it's it's all the boring stuff that no one ever wants to do it's just watch what you eat and get yourself to the gym any particular workout are you trying to lose weight what's what's the deal man you look great no

no no no seriously that we have to talk about this what what do you want are you trying to fit into a cat suit yet it would be the notoriously hot-tempered Chef Gordon Ramy who would unleash his wrath on a gacha journalist attempting to Ambush him with photos of an allegedly unsatisfactory stake served at one of Ramsay's restaurants um it's really weird for you to give me a piece of paper and when you say am I satisfied that it's a good stake you have to be a little bit more honest with me on that one

what are you trying to get out Ramsay confronted the reporter for the underhanded t IC and expertly explained why ordering a steak well done is just plain wrong but you asked the you asked the steak to be well done and is our world done State oh come on what is this I mean where where can can you I mean keep on rolling for legal reasons this is absolutely crucial but how sad is this that you ask for a Stak to be well done okay now whatever quality of beef it is has gone past any form

of taste when you've cooked it well done so so you present me with a picture God bless you and you say is that right I don't eat steak well done that's your prerogative cuz you're the customer but unfortunately you're never going to identify the quality of a beef when the steak is well cooked so I'm really sorry to piss on your bonfire but it's a bit of a stupid question thank you can I give you paper back yeah oh my God I thought it was an intelligent interview things got highly personal in this next interview

when actor Michael B Jordan recognized a reporter who just so happened to be a former classmate who had bullied him before he rose to fame and you know we know each other we go way back all the way to Chad science in Newark okay a corny kid right no I did not say that misquoted for sure no you did not hear me say C I said we used to make fun of the name but yeah he is obviously killing things out here the situation somehow got even more awkward when Jordan's Creed 3 co-star Jonathan major

showed up with the interviewer quickly making him uncomfortable isn't this the sexiest man show off right here who's the sexiest man cuz now the sex speaking of bullies recent years have seen numerous reports about Ellen DeGeneres's alleged toxic Behavior backstage which makes this clip of actress Dakota Johnson putting her in her place all the more satisfying you turned 30 I did and um how was the party I wasn't invited actually no that's not the truth Ellen you were invited last year no last time I was on the show last year you gave me a bunch

of about not inviting you but I didn't even know you wanted to be invited well who doesn't want to be invited to a party well I didn't even know you liked me of course I like you you knew I liked you you've been on the show many times and and don't I show like yeah yeah but I did invite you and you didn't come so this time you invited me yeah yeah are you sure yeah how do you know I don't think so ask everybody Johnson humiliated degenerous like no one has before sparking media speculation

about the true nature of their relationship due to the tense exchange um and then but TIG Naro performed at your party she did she did a set she did it was a surprise what did she do a bunch of funny stuff she's hilarious she's my favorite comedian other than you this next clip is undoubtedly the most bizarre as Jim Carrey would completely shut down a reporter attempting to interview him at New York Fashion Week 2017 with the actor launching into a rant that has since become infamous there's no meaning to any of this so I

I wanted to find the most meaningless thing that I could come to and join and uh and uh and here I am they're mean you got to admit it's completely meaningless although the reporter tried to provide context for the event to carry he would scoff at her explanation expressing his disbelief in fashion icons or in anything else for that matter well they say they're celebrating icons inside celebrating icons boy that is just the absolute lowest aiming you know possibility that we could come up with it's like icons what do you do you believe in icons

I don't believe in personalities I don't believe that you exist I don't believe in icons uh I don't believe in personalities I believe that peace lies Beyond personality Beyond invention and disguise beyond the red s that you wear on your chest that makes bullets bounce off I believe that it's deeper than that I believe we're a field of energy dancing for itself and uh I don't care Carrie later explained that his erratic Behavior stemmed from an existential crisis he experienced that year during which he grappled with his sense of identity who did is no me

there's no you we're not here this is a dream there's just things happening and there are clusters of tetrahedrons moving around together okay so what's happening in our world right now cuz there is a lot of news that actually is relevant that's not that upli thing it's not our world none of this is real nope so you're just passing we don't matter we don't matter oh wow there's the good news Okay in this next painful clip you'll see a reporter attempting to flirt with actress Megan Fox only for her to uncomfortably shut it down I

don't know if there's every I don't know if there's a man alive who's not in love with you in some way you're so silly you know what I am I really you're a silly man no I'm not silly at all silly man in a checkered shirt I am not wow this interview has not aged well as fox has since openly addressed her experiences with objectification in Hollywood you know I think you're flaring with me I'm kidding oh dude and speaking of interviews that aged poorly back in 2009 host Matt laau faced significant backlash for inappropriate

comments he made towards Sandra bulock regarding a scene in her film The Proposal in which she appeared nude the major thing that's changed since you were here last yes I have now seen you naked and I'm so sorry about that I have seen you nak were you able to sleep afterwards you know why are you looking down this was a later followed by allegations of sexual misconduct against Matt laau in 2017 leading to his unceremonious dismissal from NBC News I watched it last night it is a lot of fun did I mention you have a

nude scene in this movie pretty much from the time you opened your mouth time Sandra bullet come back more often no not after this interview now when it comes to interviews actor Walken Phoenix is notoriously hesitant to engage with the Press often displaying his frustration with repetitive questions throughout his media tour for the 2019 film Joker the movie obviously is about the Joker but it goes on that it's really about um the the mental state he was in can you tell me a little bit about what research or what kind of uh what you did

to prepare for this because this was really an intense performance um what was kind of the process of getting into that mindset is this old news isn't this old news didn't I didn't I feel like I've talked about this for six months Phoenix initially dismissed the question as old news before eventually offering a sarcasm fueled response and thank you so much for asking that question um my publicist is telling me I need to get need to go home and speaking of bad questions director Quenton Tarantino once flipped out on a reporter who asked him if

he believed movies had the potential to incite real world violence but why are you so sure that there's no link between enjoying movie violence and enjoying real violence I don't I I'm going to tell you why I'm so sure do not ask me a question like that I'm not going to I'm not biting I refuse your question why because I refuse your question I'm not your slave and you're not my master you can't make me dance to your tune I'm I'm not a monkey I can't make you answer anything I'm just I'm asking you interesting

question and I'm saying and I'm saying I refuse okay well no I was just asking you why that's fine after his explosive exchange with Tarantino one might assume that interviewer chrishan Guru Murthy had learned his lesson however he later found himself in a heated confrontation with actor Robert Downey Jr by ambushing him with an unexpected question about his political views what I'd really like to I'd really like to ask you about a quote you gave to the New York Times um and I don't want to priz you don't want to talk about it was fine

but what you said to the New York Times once was it was about it was after your incarceration and you said you can't go from a $2,000 a night hotel suite to a Penitentiary and understand it and come out a liberal does that mean you're you're not a liberal or that you came out of prison not being a liberal uh um are we promoting a movie despite rdj's efforts to remain diplomatic his blood boiled when chrisan started delving into his personal life leading to an unforgettable response you've talked in other interviews again about um your

relationship with your father and the role of all of that in uh you know the dark periods you entered and and taking drugs and drinking all of that and I just wondered whether you know you you think you're free of all of that or whether that's still something I'm sorry I I really don't what are we doing well I'm just asking questions that's all right okay that's bye thank you thank you guys sorry your mic it's okay yeah you thank you you see okay it's just getting a little dinur your no no look I don't

want to do that thank you Robert Downey Jr would later last Krishnan labeling him as a bottom feeder and stating we're promoting Avengers a lot of kids are going to see it this has nothing to do with your creepy dark agenda that I'm feeling like all of a sudden ashamed and obligated to accommodate your weirdo
