14 Celebrity Interviews More Memorable Than They Should Have Been

November 03, 2021

Interviews are the most perfunctory part of show business. In a world that’s all about spectacle, interviews are just celebrities sitting and talking, often about the same stuff they have already talked 100 times before. But sometimes, something unexpected happens that makes a particular interview outshine (or outstink) all others. Here we have gathered a few of those.

Danny DeVito visited The View in 2006, apparently in character as Frank Reynolds. His speech was slurred, he rambled drunkenly, and said he had been getting hammered with George Clooney. I knew it was the last seven limoncellos that was going to get me, he joked. — Source: dailyclick/YouTube

13

Reporter Sam Rubin asked Samuel L. Jackson about a Super Bowl commercial which actually featured Laurence Fishburne Jackson spent the rest of the interview grilling Rubin over that. We might be all black and famous, but we all don't look alike! CRACKED.COM — Source: CNN/YouTube

Reporter Jerry Penacoli got weirdly fixated on Anne Hathaway's body and her fitness regime for The Dark Knight Rises. After the fourth consecutive question about that, Hathaway went Are you trying to lose weight? ...What do you want? Are you trying to fit into a catsuit? — Source: extratv/YouTube

11

Woody Harrelson shot two Hunger Games movies with Liam Hemsworth before learning (during a press junket) that his co-star was Chris Hemsworth's brother. I honestly never put that together, said Harrelson, who'd go on to play a detective on TV. — Source: Jimmy Kimmel Live/YouTube

“I just want to try one thing,” David Letterman said out of the blue during a 1998 interview, and scooted over to Jennifer Aniston. Then he sucked on her hair. Aniston did her best to carry on with the interview, which was gratefully almost over. WTF, Dave? — Source: ceci3bueno/YouTube

Asked about the fact that he's so widely impersonated, Michael Caine proceeded to do his best Michael Caine impression himself. I sound like a bloody moron, he concluded. He proved that he's a good sport, and that there's only one Michael Caine. — Source: Interview on YouTube

8

During a red carpet event, TNT's Danielle Demski complimented Rashida Jones on her tropical tan, apparently unaware that she is Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton's daughter. Jones replied, I mean, you know, I'm ethnic. (Me too, quipped People's JD Heyman -who is white.) — Sources: MadameNoir, Daily Mail Online (video)

A young Crispin Glover wore a wig to David Letterman’s show -- and that’s the least weird of all the things he did that night. He almost kicked Letterman in the head. He had just challenged Letterman to arm wrestle -- which last we checked, didn’t involve kicking. — Source: tminus23/YouTube

6

When Burt Reynolds and Marc Summers were on Jay Leno’s show, nobody expected them to pour water on each other. But pies were quickly brought over to escalate the hostilities. They ended up hugging it off. — Source: The Philadelphia Inquirer

5

Harry Belafonte was about to be interviewed live, but when he appeared on camera, he was... sleeping? Harry, wake up the anchor awkwardly said. This is your wake-up call! A spokesperson said Belafonte's earpiece wasn't working, so he decided to meditate. OK, we'll believe it. — Source: USA Today

You don't really act, you don't sing, you don't dance, Barbara Walters jabbed at the Kardashians. You don't have any talent But we're still entertaining people, Khloe candidly replied. And... she's got a point, doesn't she? It's not like Walters would interview them if they bored her audience. — Sources: Screen Rant

3

The hosts of Good Day Sacramento started by calling Cara Delevingne Carla, and ended by calling her irritated, and pretty much a brat. I'll let you go take a little nap, maybe get a Red Bull, one of them told her. Delevigne blamed the awkwardness on people not getting her British sense of humor. — Sources: CBS Sacramento/YouTube, Teen Vogue

2

Jack Nicholson decided to crash Jennifer Lawrence's Oscar interview to congratulate her -- and, being Jack Nicholson, to hit on her. You look like an old girlfriend of mine. Do I look like a new girlfriend? JLaw was left an amazing mix of starstruck and freaked out. — Source: ABC News/YouTube

1

A reporter tried to ask One Direction who was the Casanova of the band. At least, we think he meant that - the reporter wasn't a native English speaker, and his question was: Who is the main f-er in the band? — Source: jessleal7/YouTube
