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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4WrooiqibSob68 Part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inbcoIR4bZiWr7s

[@gigid9606]

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

[@JustinCase-lu6qp]

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.

[@Panazoniac]

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.

[@lindabolique72]

@@gigid9606 I think Jane Fonda regrets that stunt she pulled in Vietnam. Most of us did dumb things in our youth.

Elton is generally really nice, kind of sad you were just supposed to talk about a film.

[@BrieFee]

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.

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!

[@kaysuhdeeyuh]

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! :)

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.

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.

English isn’t my native language, I was a 19 years old humble student and guess my first provocative question to Daniel 😂 “Daniel, you’re the most highly paid actor in Britain, which groups of people do you want to support ?” He was surprised, but in a good way and sincerely told us what he cared about that time) I saw that my question was unexpected and could be a little confusing or rude, but thank him and his agent to not stop me)

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. 😅

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 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!

[@Flaawsometalk]

Yeah, I totally agree with you.

[@kevinonthank]

Journalists make Celebrities famous and some celebrities need to get over themselves.

[@mirandapillsbury7885]

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

[@barbaravyse660]

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.

[@alokinrainborn]

Their level of unprofessionalism is effing crazy 😡😡😡😡 try doing that at your job, with your boss!

So glad to know Jane Fonda is as kind & genuine as she comes across. I'm also glad i found your channel Kjersti. You are doing a great thing here, telling the truth through your life's work. I love 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)

[@Flaawsometalk]

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.

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 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jenniferwellman5311]

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.

[@ananascimento8434]

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.

[@sweetpeanmolly]

Your question to Elton John was so intelligent! I would have really liked to have heard the answer!

[@Flaawsometalk]

[@dianedoonan8903]

My own sense of Hollywood and celebrities is that it is extremely depressing.

[@darrenlloyd4835]

What a treat. Thank you so much. I afore Jane Fonda. I remember seeing an interview with her where she talked about Marilyn Monroe. She talked about how Marilyn would seek her out at parties because she felt safe with Jane. She is down to earth and warm. ❤

[@PositivelyPam]

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.

[@WDHJKY]

I was having dinner with a friend of mine who works in the public spotlight. I asked him about this very subject because I was concerned about an interview. I was going to do regarding someone else. He told me that if “people didn’t want to be famous, they picked the wrong profession to be in”.

[@BrooklynSusan]

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.

[@Flaawsometalk]

Aw, you are the best and sorry I made you choke on your salad, ha, ha. So happy you enjoy my videos. Thank you.

[@danan1313]

Maybe it means he didn’t want to answer it! If he wanted to he would have

[@LilLadyAy]

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?

[@eleanorwalmsley635]

Unfortunately celebs are no less employees than the rest of us. They are limited in what info they can give out, in the main, as they sell on speed, youth, agility and good looks.. Therefore all questions surrounding those topics are off limits. Politics can be so contentious, offensive to some viewers, therefore narrowing viewership.

[@nuthinmuffins5073]

I love the bit with Jane Fonda. That lady’s an example of a relatable celebrity. And isn’t that what we want out of an interaction with a fellow human being? When I watch a good interview, I tend to be reminded that we’re delightfully different, but reassuringly similar. When you see yourself in someone you admire, it inspires you to think you can cultivate those characteristics within yourself. I understand people have bad days, because we all do, but even when I’m having a bad day and I do something I regret, I at least apologize for it as soon as I can and continue treating people with respect. No matter who you are, it’s your responsibility to treat others with respect and manage your ego as best as you can.

[@KathBorup]

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

[@Flaawsometalk]

Well said.

[@tidusjecht9143]

I completely agree.

[@tidusjecht9143]

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.

Hi, regarding money...Johnny Depp has said many times what he learned from a friend or so:"Money and fame doesn`t change you,it re`veales you!"

[@SugerSprinkledFun]

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!

[@SewingLara]

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.

[@Flaawsometalk]

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 💗

[@SewingLara]

Honestly, I love that you are viewing the actors as people and not only as a person who was in a movie. And they also seem to really like you questions and that you don't just ask questions about the movie! I do find your questions more interesting because with these questions you get to know more about the person behind the actor. Your questions are so interesting! Keep doing that!
