The celebrities I wish I 'd NEVER met

- Unfortunately this happens to all entertainment journalists at one point in their career. They ask questions that the talent or people around them don't like. In this episode I am sharing some of the uncomfortable situations I have been in myself and some other behind the scenes secrets. Hope you like it.

My interview(s) with Jane Fonda, and why i adore her. Part 1:
ua-cam.com/video/UTHqUtTOu9M/v-deo.html Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/TEyoQB83cyY/v-deo.html
yeah she totally embarrassed herself in the 60s with her political ideology. Thats probably why you were told not to ask her, not the best memory in the US history
Jane Fonda is hated for valid reasons.She colluded with the enemy while our soldiers were dying.I guess since you are not from the U.S. you may not know.
I worked for her in the 90s in Atlanta. I disagree with her politically, but personally, she's a wonderful woman with HUGE heart. She can manage people like no body's business. She's the most impressive woman I've ever known.
As a Swiss person I can't believe that there are celebrities like Bill Murray out there who let other people wait for 5 hrs and even have the audacity to show up with bad manners. This just shows once again that Hollywood is some type of "parallel universe", these personalities are only surrounded by enablers who let these things fly. If Bill Murray would live within the Swiss society, where politeness, good manners and punctuality are highly valued, he would have been humbled rather quickly.
I totally agree with you. If a Norwegian actor would act like this, he or she would be without a job.
Mariah Carey is renowned for it (being late, don’t know about manners)
He is a legend in his own mind!? How rude!! Living off past glories!!
Yep. I dont care if he is a good actor (NOT great) he is...go ahead and say it...he is a huge assh*le. @Karen-b1z7l
Transparency era✨👏👏✨ speaking facts and I’m here for it💪!!
I’m fascinated by what you’re doing here; a kind of meta journalism about entertainment journalism. I think this is brave and significant to the zeitgeist. Lots of folks just over people feeling entitled because they’re in movies.
Thank you and I like that description. Really appreciate your support.
I agree, although I could not have worded it as well. Well said.
My only concern is that none of these people will ever talk to you again and you lose income! We don't want you out on the street, honey, ❤
@@SandraHeerma Thank you. You are very sweet.
I think it is great.
Blake lively was rude to you. I wouldn't have been kind. Can't stand entitled brats. You are fantastic!! I'm sorry you wasted one second of your life being upset about that interview. Two nasty mean girls.
I have never really understood celebrity worship. To me, celebrities are ordinary people who are grossly over compensated for singing, dancing, or acting. I do not begrudge them their obscene amounts of remuneration, but I find deeply repellent the insufferable arrogance, entitlement, and incivility some celebrities exhibit. And when barely famous, minor celebrities, such as Blake Lively, show their authentic ugly selves, I feel vindicated. Blake Lively was not having a bad day, she is just a bullying harridan.
Your question to Elton John was SO INTERESTING! Wow. I LOVE that you’re sharing this!
Thank you so much. I would have loved to know his answer to it as well 🥲
There is video of Tom Petty hanging out with his friend Garry Shandling and talking about what he does to come down from the high of a live performance. He said he paces around for hours afterwards.
Elton's face 😅
@@katrinestorebo riiiight !!?? Lol
@@ArsenicJulep Cool Story, thank you.
Saw Tom Petty with his original band a couple of months before he died, the concert was stellar 👌
I'm glad you're sharing these stories-it's refreshing to hear the other side of interviews, since we usually only hear about bad interviewers.
Thank you so much.
Elton John seems like a real jerk! Sad to see that.
Yeah, I know. Me too
He sings sad songs but saying sorry seems to be hardest word to say.
Well I don't know if that's fair to say. Elton John didn't even have a chance to answer her question; he was interrupted by the PR guy.
That bitchy queen is known for being rude
@@jaysterling26 lol
Love for the integrity and transparency we get from you!❤ It is so important that people are willing to stand up for theirselves and not being afraid to just say the truth. It is just job that you do and why to be afraid of celebreties who are being entilted for way tooo long... Great work, always interesting stories on your channel, please keep going!❤
Thank you so much for this encouragement. Really appreciate it.
I used to be a music journalist for an alternative weekly in Toronto. My worst experience ever was interviewing Tom Jones. He was promoting some dance record that was pretty awful. The interview had to take place in a limousine en route to a suburban mall where he was signing records. He was so distant and blasé even though I was trying my best to ask him good questions. When we finally arrived at the mall, I just wanted to go home, but the record company promotional person insisted that I get an autograph. I feigned enthusiasm and said, ‘Sure. That would be alright.’ I was then asked to join the lineup of seniors waiting to get their records signed. Somewhere there’s a photo of me in the lineup probably wondering to myself if Engelbert Humperdinck would pull this shit. My second worst interview was with Diana Krall. 😅
Ha ha that sounds awful. Thank you for sharing.
Tom Jones doesn’t really surprise me and as much as I like Diana Krall’s music, I can see that she often looks aloof and cold, like can’t be bothered.
Its nice to be important but important to be nice!!
I can imagine it is difficult to do interviews-for actors and journalists. The setting is professional for both actors and interviewers, but you want it to appear casual and friendly. Celebrities are critiqued so harshly for everything they say which means they want to ensure the topics they are asked they feel comfortable presenting. I have seen journalists asking uncomfortable questions to get a shocking interview. Now we are seeing how actors who become famous may feel the power has shifted and they can make demands of the interview.
Mutual respect and an understanding of the goals of each party would go a long way. It seems very challenging!
Yeah, I totally agree with you.
lol omg "in a new relationship you have to be able to kneel" what xD my gosh.... but yes, love her!
Ha ha
Thanks For Ms.Kjersti For Giving The Glimpse Of The REAL REALITY BTS Of Those MEGA Entertainment Industries.

Thank you so much. Sending lots of love to Sri Lanka ❤️❤️
Ah the last minute of this video 😂❤ God bless Jane Fonda!
I know. She is amazing 💗💗
W☀nderful women 🌝... and great reminder to look for kindness. 🌻🦋
Kjersti you never want to upset Hannibal Lecter 😱 we love you and we want you to stay alive😂❤
Edit: i actually liked the adrenaline question for Elton John because i like him. I was waiting for the answer 😂
Ha ha very true
It's so fascinating to me that these celebrities give interviews like the evil dictators of the world with all their rules and arrogance and fear of losing control of their public image and yet they go on stage and give long winded speeches about freedom of speech and equality among all people! Thanks so much Kjersti your content is much needed breath of fresh air in such a polluted environment. Truly! ❤️
That is so true. Great observation! Thank you so much for your support.
@@Flaawsometalk ❤️
LOVE your work! But I disagree that birthdays are not personal. They are considered so even in corporate HR. You technically can't just send birthday notifications without buy-in from the employee💛
That is just crazy to me. It's supposed to be a nice thing to celebrate life. The world has gone mad.
@@Flaawsometalkyou’re too European for LA 😂😂😂
@@CamilaPradaTV Ha ha I know
@@bhsbmdCompletely agree. It is classic poor etiquette to venture into the subject of age with anyone, particularly people who are not close friends or family. Even with close people there is risk of someone saying something awfully impertinent. Expert William Hanson would also agree. The point of good manners is to help other people feel comfortable and respected. 💡
@@fbmbassist I mean 50 is a big year in anyone's life. Like 18, 21, or 40. And Jason Statham didn't seem to mind, his handler minded. Every actor's birthday is a google search away. It would be hard to find out your age, but It's very easy for me to find out Jason Statham's age. There is ageism in Hollywood, particularly for women. But studio executives aren't finding out in interviews an actor's age. They already know.
So it's a bit extreme to suggest because Hollywood is obsessed with age directly leads to her question about his 50th birthday at all potentially impacting his career. That's not how it works.
I did found the age question a little bit intrusive, I also think that as interviewer there is a limit of asking work questions or personal intimate questions. For example as well, I was very cringed by your interview with Ryan Gosling i found almost all questions unappropiate. (It is my opinion, about those questions) Thank you for sharing all this!
That's ok, and I am grateful that you still watch my videos. It's always good to have an opinion.
Love your jane fonda interview❤
Thank you so much. I adore her.
Am curious. Are you being blacklisted now because of that Blake Lively interview?
... time will show
@@Flaawsometalk Awww, that's disheartening. 😔😔
@@Flaawsometalk Hope not 🤞
To be honest. I am Kind of tired of Hollywood, movies and celebrities in general. Sometimes I ask myself… who do they think they are? They are normal people that shit, sleep and eat like us “normal” people. Their arrogance and narcissistic behavior turns me off so much. And especially now, that they are all gaslighting their fans about politics…. Their mystery is gone. At least for me. Greetings from Germany 🫶🏻
They really aren’t cooler than the rest of us. Not at all.
@@amandathemystic1828true.
I agree. That's why I no longer watch interviews with them anymore.
So True. Couldn't agree more.
They are wicked.
I love that you’re lifting the lid on these celebrity interviews. Have you ever interviewed Ricky Gervais? I’ve heard that he’s really nice
Thank you, and no, I haven't but would LOVE to. He is awesome.
Ricky Gervaise is one of the very few actors who doesn't think he's above everyone else. The Golden Globes roast he did of the actors and actresses in the room was savage and honest. 😂
Ricky was right. They don't live in the real world, so they are in no position to voice their opinion and lecture us. Best 10 minutes of the G.G ever!
I think the actors should be fined by the studios if they are rude and ugly to journalists.They are not Gods and in my opinion, being from the southern USA manners are important and hallmark of who you are as a person.
I agree that celebrities shouldn't be rude, and that journalists shouldn't have to compromise their standards, but am I missing something here: if a journalist discovers that celebrities are unreliable news sources, aren't they free to go elsewhere? I probably wouldn't advise someone to try to make a living by interviewing people who don't want to be interviewed, any more than by reporting on empty air, you know?
💯💯💯
Actors are underpaid and don't get paid for promoting, you don't know anything if you think studio's have morals. They only care about making money for those who never work at the expense of those who do
I agree but also studios should go a little easy on them with promotion too...
Agreed ! ❤
I'm glad you brought up Bill Murray. People who are "in" with him tout his characteristics are being quirky and funny. From everything I've heard he sounds very disrespectful. There was an interview Sofia Coppola did where she brought up her anxiety with getting him to do "Lost in Translation". They didn't know until the rest of the cast was casted and the crew was picked that he would agree to do it. He ignored phone calls, made people wait for hours on end to start shooting. He doesn't sound like a kind person. Jason Statham seems lovely though! :)
Thank you and yeah, there are few stories about him out there. Also some misconduct allegations. I think Vanity Fair had a big story on that a few years ago. Thanks for watching.
I met my husband in high school and one of the reasons I married him was because he was kind. 38 years later, still is.
Good for you!! It's the most important thing. Lucky for you that you realized that early on.
💕
Thanks for being a Truth teller ❤
❤️
People don't really care about celebrities anymore. People are not really going to movies anymore either. This whole industry will collapse in the next decade
👍👏
Bill Murray is one of those celebrities--along with Jennifer Lopez, Steven Segal, Chevy Chase--who's always mentioned as being rude and unlikable. I now understand why so many celebrity interviews are so boring to watch when you're limited to asking only about the movie.
The big misconception with Jennifer Lopez is that she’s an extrovert. She’s not.
@Nazaba09 what has that to do with anything?
@@Nazaba09 Jlos burner account :D?
@@Nazaba09 She's a narcissist.
I am enjoying your channel even though I am completely over Hollywood, which leads me to say that you are a very strong person to navigate that world. Would love to see you do interviews with people of substance as you are of substance yourself !
Thank you. I will be working towards that. 🙏🏻
You know, I just felt embarrassed to even care about Blake Lively, and when I watched you, I thought I wouldn't even care about watching any more of your videos, but honestly, you were just so charismatic and honestly very beautiful, I think she might have felt jealous. To be clear, I saw your video with your boyfriend, so I know you are in a relationship, but these are genuine comments, I literally hate these celeb interviews very much, but something about you and your boyfriend too just drew me in to want to know more and I love the way you tell the story. Keep it up, and I hate you for making me watch celeb interviews, but also, thank you! I like that I can learn about communication from your stories and be entertained.
Ha ha, this is such lovely feedback. Thank you so much. I am very happy (and flattered) to hear that you enjoy watching my videos. Please come back for more!!
@@Flaawsometalk You are welcome, no exaggeration, I am a programmer, so anything not in tech and about people is not my thing, but I really think one day you might do communication skills and tips.. And It is not a choice at this point to keep watching, 😆
@@MohamedSamyAlRabbani You made my day. Thank you!!!
@@Flaawsometalk Hate you for making me feel embarrassed and thank you too for your manners and enjoy your brand of transparency:) ! Hope this comment and side make your day and night shine!
I do think she was jealous of her hair.
I am so happy you are talking about these situations. Not saying a thing about those attitudes just enable people to continue with them. It is good for everybody to get a reminder of what's is right and what wrong.
Thank you for saying that 🙏🏻
Have you ever noticed that celebrities who are considerate, like Dolly Parton, tend to attract the public naturally. Even if you don’t listen country you’ll listen to her (and her type). She’ll answer tough questions with wit, not with sarcasm.
That's so true. I never had the pleasure of meeting her.
I’m disappointed with the Elton clip as I love him. I know he can be very catty but I hate seeing him be downright rude to you.
I adore Jane Fonda. She’s intelligent and genuine.
I know, me too. I was so excited to meet him and then ... Jane Fonda is the BEST!
Me too Janet, but in all fairness, he wasn't the one that said he was only going to talk about the movie...it was a handler (maybe his husband David Furnish) off camera telling her to keep questions focused on the movie.
@@PositivelyPambut Elton agreed with the handler.
money leads people to believe their worth is more than it is
Please consider doing a video on the P. Diddy situation.
Sure. I can do that.
The most interesting experience I had was meeting Danny Bonaduce by chance and he was super nice. I met rocker Steve Perry by chance on the streets of NYC and he was sort of aloof. I met an actor in an airplane and he wasn’t all that friendly. I’ve come to the conclusion that all in all your better off not meeting your hero’s.
Oh my gosh, I stop everything when your videos come up. I feel like it is 2 girlfriends hanging out and getting the inside scoop lol. Thanks KF!
That's the best compliment ever!!! Thank you!!
This is amazing … KF should do a class on journalism and talk about the dos and donts of Hollywood. It’s amazing how detached some artists become. Great content ❤
I was actually thinking to do that a few years back. I even recorded several sessions. Maybe I will share some of them here.
I don’t think the title of your video is accurate. With a lot of these celebrities, it’s their PR person, their staff that is setting these arbitrary rules, not the celebrity. Certainly some celebrities themselves are rude, but I didn’t see that in your video. If you’ve ever interviewed Paul McCartney, he is an absolute gem. He answered anything and everything we asked and was humble and funny. When his staff tried to physically haul him away, he said no, he wasn’t finished talking to the journalists and signing autographs. This occurred two times when I was interviewing him for Billboard.
I have met so many lovely people over the years. I will talk about those ones too.
I would not wait 2 hours for anybody....................Rude and usually not as talented as they think in particular.
Journalists make Celebrities famous and some celebrities need to get over themselves.
I witnessed first hand a Jason Statham situation and it was so uncomfortable for everyone! The celebrity I was with was so lovely and was genuinely laughing about what was happening but his handlers (given for that day, not hand-picked by said celebrity) were not happy and complained. To anyone on the receiving end of the complaint, it would appear that it was, in fact, the celebrity doing the complaining. I had nothing to do with that particular situation, just a spectator to it and immediately knew how it looked. I felt horrible for him because he was truly a nice person and visibly went out of his way to NOT be difficult. All the way around, I would not wish to switch places with any famous person and their public life.
I have seen similar things happen too. Sometimes the people around the celebrities are the worst!!
I’m sorry but I saw how “journalists” treated Michael Jackson, I don’t have much respect for entitled and exploitative “journalists”. There is a big problem with journalists too, the questions are so rude, intrusive, presumptuous and dumb sometimes. Most are obsessed with fame and don’t even see the celebrity as a person.
There are good and bad apples in every occupation in this world.
Some of these celebrities are so unbelievably entitled, rude and shallow. Fortunately, I have met several who are wonderful. Love to hear that Jane Fonda is likable in person. What she says is so true, a kind man who cherishes you is what's important!
Thank you and I totally agree with you
Elton seemed like an arse too... the way he grunted in agreement when they said you HAD to ask about the movie.. ugh.
I know. Very disappointing.
I heard that Bill Murray is not a nice guy....
Jason Statham seemed annoyed by his handler and very friendly. It's interesting, several of the people you mention in yr vids I have also met, or close friends have. I had a friend who lived in HI for awhile and Elton was a regular at a local cafe. He was super friendly to my friend and they hung out a lot. I worked at a drug store in NC decades ago and Matt Broderick and SJP came in. They proceeded to buy practically the entire stock of enemas and lube, giggling the whole time. A couple of immature kids, very nice. Long ago.
thank you so much! I am so happy somene is finally calling out how privileged these celebs are and how they always play the victim card when most of them only work like 7 months a year and make in one interview the salary a person makes in a year or two
This reminds me, wasn’t there a viral interview of jesse eisenberg being super condescending to a female journalist? And if my memory serves me right people were actually celebrating him for his attitude, because oh that’s just who he is and he’s so witty. I didn’t find it witty just plain rude
Yes, I remember that. Very uncomfortable to watch.
Jason Stratham is such a wuss. He could have said it's OK, I can answer that.
And Jane nearly killed me! I was eating a salad and nearly choked "You have to be able to kneel in a new relationship"!! I died! Thank you for that hilarious moment, Jane & Kjersti.
Kkersti, all my life I would chatter while talking to someone. What a different way of life if you stay silent and just allow silence if there's silence.
And your boyfriend's cute 😊 You guys are so cute together.
Aw, you are the best and sorry I made you choke on your salad, ha, ha. So happy you enjoy my videos. Thank you.
Maybe it means he didn’t want to answer it! If he wanted to he would have
How is Jason a wuss? He addressed the question when he made a joke about the lighting then someone else who wasn't prompted by him moved them on, what if there was nothing more to add to him turning 50, say he has no plans, it was months away and he hadn't though about it or doesn't celebrate birthdays? What if there was a time constraint? What if he legit didn't care for that conversation wherever it was going?
I dont know, yes you are not there to provide PR, but they are not there to give personal interviews. I think there is a way to ask interesting questions surrounding the film and filmmaking/acting process since this is movie journalism. Ive seen it done before, finding a new angle, or finding something they themselves start nerding out on, it almost will seem refreshing to them. I do emphasize though that as a freelancer its kinda ridiculous how you are not treated with basic respect and resources in certain situations.
I love watching your content. You're a breath of fresh air.
❤️❤️
The way Jane Fonda lit up - it was the perfect answer to a perfect question! Fun coincidence - Elton John was my late aunt's best friend and is godfather to my cousin
Who cares about hollyweird?
You are a wonderful interviewer. But, this critique cuts both ways. I have been interviewed by journalists who were down right mean. Again, you are wonderful.
I agree with you. I have met so many rude journalists. I think there are good and bad apples on both side for sure. Sorry about your bad experience.
I blame the powerful PR companies granting and denying media access to celebrities regardless of some of their horrific behavior which eventually comes out anyway.
I watched a UA-cam psychic reading about your interview with Blake. It was so . Interesting! Psychic said that you were comment about her baby bump hit her hard because she was so insecure about being seen as this role being mom lol she just wanted to talk money plus you are warm and caring. She hated that because she never have those qualities because her mom was not like that towards her. And she just waiting for this whole thing pass she doesn’t care because she is way above. 😅 those American celebrities…. So spoiled
Wow. That's very interesting.
People treat celebrities like Gods, no wonder they lose touch with reality.
You can tell Jason was just as uncomfortable with the publicist butting in as Kjersri was. I've heard he's a chill dude. Elton on the other hand! Couldn't be more of a diva but that's why he's Elton!
They are freakin actors. ACTORS! My God! Don’t we pay our story tellers enough that we have to baby and pamper these people. They are lucky. There are so many people with so much talent that are still waiting tables
OmG I couldnt be a journalist bc Id be like WHY dont you wanna talk about THIS?? Celebrities think theyre so special like wtf we made them millionaires and dont even wanna talk like normal ppl
I love how you’re holding these people accountable, especially with how self-righteous they can be. I obviously don’t think them talking about social issues is bad, but the moral grandstanding doesn’t pair well with hypocrisy. Keep on the good fight! All that said, did I hear you say “ghetto blaster”? Boombox might’ve been a better term 😅😫
One should be kind to the help, drivers, security, everyone they come in contact with. When a celebrity is helped out of their limo or security opens a door for them, I always look to see if they acknowledge that person and say thank you. I’m really big on please and thank you.
I am not understanding this.
Definitely there is NO excuse for actors or their entourage to be dismissive and rude in a scheduled interview. They should act professional. No excuses.
But on the other hand, if the ONLY reason you have been granted the interview in the first place is in promotion of something then why isn't that what you would prepare for and ask questions about?
That is the professional agreement. From both sides.
Why would celebrities want to talk to a journalist (or "journalist") asking random personal questions if that wasn't the professional agreement?
Why do you think they are agreeing to sit down with you?
Or maybe I am completely wrong and the original arrangement is for entirely open ended conversations with people they have never met before?
I have met quite a few celebrities (mostly actors) - most are simply decent and trying to navigate people who see them as an object instead of actually treating them like a person - HOWEVER, I have met some real disrespectful, arrogant a-holes who simply believe their own press and treat people who are genuinely respectful and polite like trash (dismissive, rude, insulting, etc..). I even met one while acting as an escort who simply could not or would not turn off their ridiculous personae to the degree you realize everything about them is fake and they really don't respect anyone who is a fan and simply plays their part for their own aggrandization. Toxic, narcissistic. and then you mean some others who genuinely are nice, and very endearing. I found that NOT talking about their movie, or anything to do with celebrity typically works to put them at ease (at least the nice ones) and you may get to connect with them as a person - then if you meet them again - they remember that. Wound up having dinner a few times just as people who enjoy a meal instead of anything else.
While I dont agree with celebrities being rude and agree that they should be definitely respectful to journalists: Even celebrities should not be completely dehumanized and should be allowed to have a choice whether they want to talk about something or not. Otherwise it'd end up being dictatorship from the side of the press. Respect goes both ways. There should be boundaries on both sides. I believe in honest and respectful communication and coming to a compromise that both sides are ok with. Also, it's not always up to you to decide what is personal questions or not. That's my take on that.
I agree with you and the thing is, if a celebrity doesn’t want to answer a question they can just say so. In a respectful way 💗
@@Flaawsometalk absolutely! There's never need to be rude and to treat journalists like some second class citizens. It just shows the entitlement
Their level of unprofessionalism is effing crazy 😡😡😡😡 try doing that at your job, with your boss!
So, it's not the actual celebs telling them not to ask those specific questions, it's their managers or PR staff telling the interviewer off behind the camera. Sure, maybe they were instructed by their employers beforehand, but in the footage that's been added here, I don't see it.
The thing with Jason Stathan turning 50… uhmmm… I hear that may be you want to establish a rapport with the interviewee…. But an actor may just want to be taken seriously because of their work and the schtick about age is just not in line with that. Women have suffered from this for centuries now, men are now the target of this too. I find it unnecessary and I think many of the do too. It’s not your fault, but I hear where they are coming from. They don’t want the attention to go to areas of their life that are to do with their craft.
Years ago my daughter as a cinema journalist needed an interview with Harrison Ford, she called him from Italy and he was very short and rude. She was so surprised 🤷🏻♀️
That doesn’t really surprise me, he seems like a very private person. he doesn’t do a lot of press, probably only with the insistence of his people.
Portuguese woman here. You remind us of our veteran TV host and journalist Júlio Isidro, he also interviewed a lot of famous actors ir celebrities and indeed the most entitled ones (and rudest to the press) are the less talented, yet more protected by the studios and granted a huge PR/marketing strategy. The studios do not like professionalism on an interviewer, only someone who gushes over a celebrity and promote bordeline censorship. All for corporate profit. It is sad.
So glad I've found this channel. It's cool to have a European perspective on Hollywood too!! Hugs from London ❤❤❤
Yes. And thank you. I think we have a little different perspective for sure.
Jerry Seinfeld couldn't looknat me in the eye. I asked for an autograph and he said no. No eye contact.
That’s sad
Because he is a reptile 🦎
Khazarian mafia - when he was 30 dating a minor and his Jewish parents didn’t have an issue with it 🤮🤮🤮🤮
For transparency's sake, it should be noted that Anthony Hopkins is autistic. Neurodivergent people do not always react in the expected way, and they typically mask during social interactions. The junket system is like a huge amount of forced social interactions, condensed over a very short amount of time, stressful enough for neurotypical celebrities.
Imagine that stress magnified x10, that incrementally increases with each possible repetition of the same questions. What can they do? They either leave to protect themselves or they stay ,and either push through and melt down once they leave, or worse, during an interview.
People forget that, in a society where neurodivergent people exist in all walks of life,there are going to be celebs who are privately diagnosed with adhd, autism, bpd, bipolar or a combo of several, for whom, this part of their job is something they find an actual living nightmare.
With that said, I know some actors actually appreciate it when you switch the questions up ( even if their pr person is giving you daggers)
Someone else just told me this. I had no idea that he was autistic. I wish they would have told us. That changes things, for sure. Thank you for sharing. I will mention this in my upcoming video.
No one should be allowed to be nasty or disrespectful to another human being. Period. Ethics are ethics and morals are morals. No human is less valuable or less human… money should not make someone immune or more valued
Well said.
I completely agree.
Oh and before I forget, I don't believe it would have made a difference if you'd have said, pregnancy or baby, instead of bump. She always tries to hide her pregnancies and even the birth, sex of the baby etc. I don't know if she's embarrassed by it or what but my thought is she shouldn't go out in public when she's in that condition, if she's going to be so nasty. Also all the cra p she's giving Justin Baldoni too.
I often think that actors go into that profession because they lack the integrity to do a regular job. Of course that's not true of everyone, but I can not imagine getting paid millions for a relatively short, cushy, job, and not doing all of the work to the best of my ability. They'll tell you that acting is skillful, but is it really? There's so many of them, and they're just people who are capable of being a puppet for a short amount of time before retreating back into unemployment. They just got lucky to have been given a good script, and technical team.
Of course it’s a skill.
There’s a world of difference between a bad and a great actor.
It’s really cool that you share all that stuff. Are you afraid - as you said your colleagues would be - that your openness has repercussions for you?
Yes, of course, but I do believe that transparency in this industry is long overdue. I'll take my chances. Thank you for watching.
Anthony Hopkins has autism. Not saying that's an excuse, but it is a legitimate reason to explain his behaviour.
I did not know that. That explains a few things, I guess. I wish they would have told us that. Then it would all make more sense.
I love how you’re shedding light on how rude so many celebrities are. Common courtesy and respect just go away once people get a little fame and some money.
Thank you!
Hey there Girl, curious what are your thoughts on the whole Ellen Degenerous thing? Like who she got painted as a mean person and didnt like to be looked at in the eyes.
I never met her so I am not sure. But I heard stories about her from other people in the industry and they were not all nice, to put it that way.
The Elton John cut off was rough. Like the movie is Sherlock Gnomes. Not that there's anything wrong with animation, I'm an animator myself, but like people from live action don't really care about our profession. In almost 2 decades in animation, I've "worked" with many celebrities. Like 2 ever bothered to show up to the studio and see what they were putting their name to: Vince Vaughn and Judy Greer. They barely interact with animated productions, whether they are actors, musicians, producers on the film. Maybe if it were the Lion King, he'd want to focus on that for the prestige, a "real" movie in their eyes, but Sherlock Gnomes...no. I think he could have answered your question. That was unfair and rude in my view for them to do that.
Thank you for saying that and so sorry you were treated like that. How disrespectful !
I can guarantee Justin Baldoni would never have treated you the way Blake Lively did. Or anyone for that matter. He's a gentleman, she's a piece of work. So glad you outed her, but sorry you had to go through what you did Kjersti. She and Parker Posey were obnoxious.
Yeah, I've only seen him being respectful towards people.
The new movie w Nstasha Lyonne, Elizabeth olsen looks very good, hopefully you can interview!
Jane Fonda was a hoot!
Celebrities live in their own bubble.
New subscriber here! I love your content!❤ You are super and ask great questions. 😊
Thank you so much!!
Elton John and Jason Statham, Boooo! I’ve always liked Bill Murray, but what a douche nozzle he is. Jane Fonda just realizing these things much later on in life, whaaaat?!
I think she used to date a lot of Type A men which must be exhausting. I mean, Ted Turner for example.
Jason came off as a baby😂
Elton jon looked miserable
@@Notturnoiryep! Elton looked almost like a wax statue, an inanimate object. One would imagine that at his age he would be open to more interesting questions, but apparently his handler calls the shots.
I get that these celebrities are there to promote a movie, so the powers that be want you to focus your questions on that topic. But how dare they tell a journalist what they can and can’t ask??? A journalist should be free to ask whatever question they’d like and it is up to the interviewee to choose how to respond. (At this point, might as well just hand the interviewers a card with a bunch of pre-determined questions and stop pretending like this is a real interview.)
Instead of having handlers gate-keep the conversation, they should train the actors how to steer the conversation back to the movie.
Amen!
Wait, actors get paid for interviews?? I always thought it was something they HAD to do, for free, like it was in their contract or something... That's why I thought they were sometimes rude etc... wow!
It's usually in their contracts, and they do get paid for the package.
Wow! This is a refreshing information! I’m glad that Jane Fonda is a cool as I thought she was, I can listen to her talking for hours.
I know. She is the best!!
I know! I’m so relieved lol. When you brought her up I was thinking you were going to say she wasn’t nice and I love her so, whew! 😅
I have some Nordic acquaintances and like how they are direct. They don’t worry too much what other people think and stick to their values. You seem like that, too 😊
Thank you so much. That is very true. I really appreciate honesty in every aspect of work and life.
I would think in this day and age you could actually become a major personality by being the tough reporter who interviews celebrities and shames them when they behave badly - it worked for Wendy Williams and people like that.
❤️
To be fair - some questions in press junkets ARE rediculious
Totally
Okay now that I've watched WOWZERS that was interesting, thanks for giving this top secret perspective 😊
So happy you enjoyed it.
안녕하세요. 당신과 제라드 버틀러의 인터뷰 영상을 보고
당신의 목소리와 딕션이 너무 좋아서 바로 구독했어요 ! (제라드 버틀러는 진짜 재밌는 사람 같아요! 그 인터뷰 재밌었어요 ㅎㅎ 오오 ㅎㅎ) 영어 공부를 하는 중인데 당신의 영상이 도움이 될것 같아요! 좋은 영상 감사합니다!
Omg I love Jane Fonda!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for your honesty & sharing! Clearly you have a passion for journalism as it’s not an easy profession or for the faint of heart. I’m shocked Elton didn’t defend & answer your question as it was a good one you clearly put thought into. Sadly, it appears his bar is set higher for his music than for interviews. Shame on him.
Thank you so much! I think it was a good question too actually and I was looking forward to his answer 🥲
Thank you for your TRUTHFULNESS!!
Thank you for your support
Kjersti, do you know Mr Hopkins is on the spectrum? I don't know if you know much about how this can impact people.
Someone told me that the other day. That put things in perspective for sure. I will mention it in my next video.
@@Flaawsometalk That's good of you, thank you. I'm not saying that was the reason for the behaviour (we can never know) but it is always a possibility. I thought that it was important to highlight because my son is on the spectrum.
I'm here b/c I saw you on Popcorn Planet.
💗
There's that old saying about don't meet your heroes. I'm a huge Elton fan and to his credit here, it wasn't so much him shutting your question down but someone off camera (was it his manager and husband David Furnish?) On a related note, his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin treated many fans poorly when he did book signings last year promoting his snooze-inducing autobiography Scattershot. He refused to sign anything in one of the cities on the tour other than his book and didn't want to take photos with anybody. One of my friends and fellow Elton fans, who is an extremely talented artist, went to see him and he was rude not only to her but her husband. Her husband started to slide his copy of the book towards him to sign and Bernie admonished him, saying "Don't do that, it'll ruin the tablecloth." She was also hoping to give him a piece of her artwork that depicts Elton and him; he wouldn't even look at it. Sorry, but he's a first-class pr*ck. But he is a different story when you visit one of his art shows, because it's a chance for him to sell something. And really comes across as a misogynist in his book. Ugh.
