      'self-deprecating' ?! You've got to be kidding . This clown had the most bloated ego imaginable, especially sickening was to witness the near constant pouting and complaining over the years from someone so undeservedly blessed over his lifetime with myriad opportunity and wealth galore
      He never expressed *sincere* gratitude for the good fortune bestowed upon him; grotesque when one considers how little he offered in exchange for those riches

      Self deprecating isn’t how I would describe him either. The way he responded to Johnny when he was talking about The Godfather was really revealing. I like his work but he was arrogant for sure.

      James Caan was sensational in the Michael Mann-directed ‘Thief.’ Given the monstrosity of this interview I’d like to know if Johnny Carson had him as a guest when it was released in 1981. In ‘Thief’ Caan does not smash Carlo Ritzi over the head with a garbage can cover next to a running fire hydrant. You know.

    This isn't anything unusual for James Caan at that time. I've seen him give many awkward/difficult interviews then. If you see more recent ones, he's much more relaxed and funny, but back then, I think his private life was turbulent, and he didn't seem to be very comfortable being himself in front of a camera. His interviews never reached the level of awkwardness/strangeness that Robert Blake's did, however. These days I think Caan is much more comfortable in his own skin and at peace with everything and himself.

    If you watch The Offer on Paramount+ you get to see the whole mess it was to get The Godfather produced and to the screen. This is probably why James Caan got uncomfortable when Johnny initially brought it up. I also sensed that James is just not comfortable in impromptu scenarios, such as being on a late night talk show...Johnny did his best to reign it in and keep it under control, but the interview was still super awkward...
