How I deal with challenging interviews

[@Daybreaq]

I don’t see animosity with the three “Avengers” movies actors. It seemed to me they were friends who were teasingly trash talking each other.

[@eto2352]

Mackie is always like that. 100% just ball busting each other to get through the day

[@TheVioletWolf]

She said "feel".

[@Daybreaq]

@ And I said “see” in the sense of feel or get the vibe. I don’t know if you are being overly semantic on purpose or not. But Kjersti specifically invite our opinion if we got the same vibe and MY answer is “no.”

[@jr2906]

Agree, those are guys being guys. They are acting like my group of friends. If you are busting each other then you don't feel like you are accepted.

[@andreacamp936]

Anthony and Sebastian have always had a history of messing with each other in interviews. 🤣

[@aartadventure]

Video topic idea: You mentioned Hollywood Reporters always talking. Maybe consider a video on reporter gossip/information you've received. E.g Who do reporters overall think are: 1. The funniest celebrities 2. The most entitled celebrities (demanding requests, most lavish lifestyle etc) 3. The kindest when the cameras are off 4. The rudest when the cameras are off 5. Who is best celebrity at making small talk 6. Who has the best fashion sense 7. Who has the worst fashion sense 8. Who has the most unique/quirky personality 9. Who is the most under rated celebrity 10. Who is the most over rated celebrity

[@Calibound8]

How in the world do u know ANYthing about ‘famous folk?’

[@saskialolita]

I think this is might also explain why certain celebs sometimes seem to be easily annoyed by relatively innocuous questions… it may just be the culmination of years of resentment and pent up frustration (valid or not) over being asked the same old questions and having to make ‘meaningless’ small talk in service of promoting a project, attending events, sitting for interviews, meeting fans, etc, and then this frustration comes out in the form of abrupt answers, snide, passive aggressive remarks or occasionally even worse… And then of course some celebs are just jerks 🤷‍♀️

[@GenevieveWearsDior]

I’m a waitress in LA, and the energy the three avenger actors have with her is the same kind I get all the time… when people think they’re being charming or funny but they’re actually being condescending and there is a palpable status energy shift. Hard to explain, but b anyone in the service industry has felt it, whether with a celebrity or not. Like when customers think it’s funny to ask their server “to guess their age”. Same vibe.

[@mekylieme]

@Artfulmind12 Uh, your armchair psychology is lacking in any real depth, analysis, or reality. While these men were behaving highly narcissistic and in the group-mind think of immaturity, it has nothing to do with anyone's ability to do their job as a journalist as it does not matter WHO was interviewing theses guys, they'd still behave like dorks.

[@leviuzumaki3903]

I think Tom hardy is a very nice and very kind person, but is a difficult interview because he likes getting good interesting questions and likes people that do their research on him beforehand. It’s a simple respect sort of thing if you respect him and respect his time and him going out of his way to be interviewed then he will also respect you and respect your time as well. But yes he has always seemed like a really kind person. Also I’m very curious, if you’ve ever interviewed Jon bernthal he also has always seemed like he could be a very nice person but seems very old school.

[@becorations1]

My husband bet Job Bernthal a few years ago at his work (machine gun range), and said he was very down to earth and nice.

[@wendygalligan8984]

Also I am terrible at small talk as well. People used either say "you're so quiet" or "I used to think you were a snob", but I was definitely just more introverted and also don't know how people just start talking about random things and keep going. I have gotten better as I have aged but the problem is I don't enjoy it. If I'm going to talk, usually I love to go a bit deeper usually.

I thought Mackie, Stan, and Duke were actually busting on each other; I found them delightful. I have said when people have a shorthand or particular way of being around each other, it is hard for someone else to navigate it (intentionally or unintentionally). My family growing up was this way. 4 boisterous kids and 2 hilarious parents - all very quick, sharp, and often sarcastic and witty, acerbically so. People on the outside either got it or didn't. My sister-in-law would leave the room crying because she couldn't keep up and didn't understand it (or us). She was kind of a terrible person so it worked out in the end! I love how you got Mackie though with "you've been?" - perfect! You are a delight, Kjersti!

Hi Kjersti. I always look forward to a new vid from you. Always enjoyable. I'm sure you don't remember, but I had stated in a comment some time ago that my family immigrated here from Norway. When you made the comment that Norwegians don't usually do small talk, you weren't kidding. It brought back memories and a little laugh. My Bestafar rarely spoke and when he did he was curt and to the point. A little gruff too. He scared me a little and I avoided him. I grew up in an area of Seattle that had a very large population of Norwegians. Everybody was like him. I didn't talk to anyone! They were nice, but having a conversation was out of the question. As you can tell, I did not inherit that trait.😉I have always wanted to go to Norway and visit my family's home town, but I think they would deport me for grabbing too much!. Thanks for the memory and smile. See you soon.🤗

[@Flaawsometalk]

Oh my God. This made me laugh so hard. I do remember you. I could just imagine your Bestefar. He sounds like most older men in Norway. It's funny when you go into a restaurant in Norway it's so quiet. People speak very quietly (or not at all) until they are drunk, then they start yelling. Ha, ha. You should definitely go to visit. It's a beautiful country and Oslo is fun.

Hi Kjersti, another great interview. I like this kind of interview. It's fun and you can see how they are if the cameras weren't rolling. I always love stuff when celebs act very informal and joke on each other. All in good fun. Imo, the guy on the far left, got a little insulted by your costume question of if they smelled. I think the other two were surprised by the question. And to be fair, it sounds like you're asking if the costumes smelled, which is kinda odd to ask. They seemed confused, like where are you going with this. And when you didn't seem to give them grief and seemed ok with them asking you, why are you asking such a question, they had fun with it and played it off nicer. Anthony Mackie did a great job and the middle guy too, of joking it off. They seemed to be real cool with each other. Laughed it off. I love how you remain so composed and calm in your interviews, especially when the interview goes south. Impressive. Also how you remain quiet. You don't add extra inane chatter and not so quick to fill the silence. Which is remarkable. Very hard to do, it really allows the other person to get their words out and let them think while talking.

I cannot understand why respecting pronouns upsets people. It had nothing to do with you. You need not compromise your identity, values, sense of self, nothing, at all-- to show others respect. If you meet someone of a different religion, one with whom you disagree on the entire foundation of worldview and human existence-- do you refuse to address them? No. Does that mean you share anything w them? No. It is not, actually, a massive inconvenience. It's just kind, respectful, and honesty-- easy. So the issue is.... You worry it's contagious and you're susceptible to influence? Or others might assume that if you respect a pronoun, that means you approve of gender identity expression, which means you... are gay, or something??? I'll repeat: respecting another's pronouns has nothing to do with, and says nothing at all about you. Except whether or not you're respectable.

Gonna give my honest take here after watching a few of these type videos this lady has done.. You ask vanilla, kinda silly questions sometimes then get odd non thoughtful answers. Remember this is the real world that’s not always nice for anyone, celebrity or not. To act threatened or entitled to a certain level of respect is not really always the case… I think it shows a lack of journalistic integrity to call these people out or act like they were mean to you or not nice enough. Should they judge you the same way? I think the Blake lively thing got you attention and kinda started the ball rolling downhill now you are almost fishing through old interviews to criticize these guys and almost get sympathy. An important thing to remember in this life, is that no one owes you a damn thing, so don’t expect it! I mean some of your questions are borderline cringy.

[@saskialolita]

I feel like people sometimes have a hard time differentiating between an interviewer being genuinely rude vs making an honest/innocent mistake. And sometimes the people having a hard time differentiating are the interview subjects themselves and they end up taking an innocuous question/comment from the interviewer and misconstruing it as something malicious, insulting, racist, sexist or otherwise offensive/insulting (ie, Blake lively). And then there’s the kind of inverse phenomenon that can also occur where the interviewer may mistake a subject’s genuine frustration with what they believe to be an unfair/inane/otherwise ‘annoying’ question as so-called entitled or diva-like behavior and as a result label that interviewee as ‘difficult’ (as perhaps has been the case with certain subjects like Tom Hardy).

I believe Anthony’s intentions were to deter Sebastian from lashing out at you by lighting the mood. 6:07 Anthony even joked with Sebastian cause he saw how irritated he was getting after you basically asked the same question but in a different way. 7:03 I think after Anthony set himself up to be the butt of a joke and Sebastian relinquished to what Anthony was trying to do and started returning the jokes to him. I also have been there petty. You didn’t notice how they started joking with each other and all of a sudden your time ran out.

Who made up the rule that one person should now be called "they" and "them?" I don't remember voting on that. They and them is plural, meaning more than one person. Don't bow down to the idiocy!

[@Too.Cool.ForCardi]

Hey Kjersti, I can tell you’re not familiar with the relationship and playful nature and friendship between Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan. They’re actually really good friends and love teasing each other, and actually Mackie has really helped Sebastian come out of his shell over the years. All three of the actors were having a good time with one another and have really good rapport.

[@Flaawsometalk]

I am so happy to hear that. Thank you for sharing.

[@jakestroll6518]

​@@FlaawsometalkDo you not watch the junkets online afterwards? This particular threesome was super popular on social media. Its bros having fun that lightened up very boring interviews (no offense but your delivery is kinda boring)

[@tarran4596]

It seemed to me like Anthony Mackie has a height complex so maybe goes on about his "larger attributes" a little too often and the others aren't impressed and he knows it.

[@cheery-hex]

he's annoying AF

Can’t stand him.

[@kays3956]

So interesting how a question on their bodysuits get such responses.... Dont mind them... they are pretty close and can say things in front of one another. You can see they are as nervous as you are. I say dont worry about it.

[@chloelucky3883]

I was wondering how you could promote yourself and get interviews. You know how people send resumes to get jobs. Is there a way you could send clips of your interviews to studios or the celebrities agents themselves? Do the studios pick the journalists? How does that work? Do the celebrities have a say in who interviews them?

[@Flaawsometalk]

That's a great question. I can talk about this in an episode.

[@janehollander3843]

yes, please do, that would be particularly interesting!​@Flaawsometalk

[@SilkyShish]

All the Avengers cast got along really well and are just taking the piss out of each other. Mackie is notoriously known for being the jokster in the cast and he has always teased Sebastian. With all due respect, I think you misread the room on this one. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with being shy.

[@donnawhite7624]

There was a lot of testosterone in the room with the Avengers. Idk, I think they were just ribbing each other.

[@WillEDC]

I think they also banter on each other and even with Tom holland

[@kherise]

I am actually curious of what kind of reactions you got from celebrities when they hear you are from norway. Do you get alot of stereotypical questions/reactions? What was the worst reaction or most uncomfortable 😅

[@Too.Cool.ForCardi]

Please do NOT humor or bow down to the pronoun BS. It’s actually quite dangerous especially for women and women’s rights (I highly suggest you educate yourself on what’s been happening around all of this), and it only feeds into and perpetuates the entitlement and delusion.

[@Flaawsometalk]

I know and I completely agree with you. I do think it has had a negative effect on women's rights, especially in sports.

The Avengers boys were being boys. If anything this is how we naturally communicate with one another by insulting and picking fun at each other. When the laughter stops then you know it's real.

[@ukmonk]

I have worked in film/TV for over 33 years and production makes the monster! Some artists are amazing people, but tbh it just comes down to the individuals personality. If someone is an a$$hole, they will become an even bigger one when successful, but if someone is nice, then they become even nicer when they hit stardom as they have 'made it' and very grateful for the opportunities. Production usually let them get away with this outrageous behavior, hence me saying they are the problem thus making the monster. A lot of studios let the artist drink or take drugs before, during and after filming, this is common knowledge and fuels the fire....

[@AstreaJones-m6e]

You don’t need to apologize for calling a man he. He can’t be a they. You did nothing wrong.

I don’t think Tom likes it when people try to ask ‘clever’ questions to try and be funny or get a reaction, I’ve seen it on a few interviews so I wouldn’t say he’s difficult it he just makes people work for it😂

[@GaryMckillop-s4d]

The Scandinavians are notorious for not really having sense of humour. I don't want to sound disrespectful but I think the dynamic between the Avengers cast to me comes across as 3 mates rather than three people with problems with each other. If you sat in a room and watched the interactions with me and my mates you would honestly be convinced we all hated each other. It's almost a term of endearment abusing each other. It's definitely a British and American thing.

[@Beautycomesoutofashes]

Nah they were just joking.

[@di942842]

Did you ever interview celebrities when theyre right in the middle of a scandal, like a divorce due to a cheating scandal, or maybe a death in their family, reports of arguments with other cast members, arrests. I know most of them pull out of their public engagements during these scandals or major life events, but were there ever those who chose to continue their public engagements and you had to interview them? How did you handle those situations? It's like the elephant in the room. I bet it would be very awkward.

[@Flaawsometalk]

That's a great question. I will have to think about that and make a video about it.

[@di942842]

@@Flaawsometalk Yey, thanks Kjersti!

[@TrvisXXIII]

I think you read the situation wrong with Anthony Mackie and the Avengers crew. They were tired doing interviews and probably tried to one up each other to lighten the mood. Plus they’re in the room with a female Norwegian interviewer they’ve never met, so there might’ve been a bit of peacocking going on there
