    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 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'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 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. 😅

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.

My editor sad to forget boring questions about the movie and try to discover something new.

    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!

    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.

      When you say handler for the day, were you at a convention or something like that? If not then you can ignore the rest of my reply haha, but if you were, then I can probably give a little insight. At conventions, the handlers are usually volunteers for the convention (at least this is how it works in Australia). Having volunteered at conventions before, they do take into account your skills/experiences when assigning which area to put you in, but you don't necessarily need specific training or experience.
      I don't know exactly how it works for the volunteers that handle the celebs, but I do know it's their job to make sure that the celeb is on schedule, and doesn't get crowded; even if the celeb themselves seems okay with it, it's the handler's job to be "the bad guy", so to speak, bc they know the celeb is literally too nice for their own good. They can come off as rude (and sometimes they are), but a lot of the time they're just being direct/blunt bc they're exhausted and trying to do their job. When I volunteered, I was exhibitor services, which is sort of a combination of looking after stalls on the main floor, and making sure the floor is safe. Part of that would mean rushing to help control crowds and organise a line around the celebs who chose to do impromptu signings/photos bc otherwise it's a saftey hazard for everyone. That said, while we helped keep things organised/safe, it was the handler who controlled how long the celeb could stay. Usually the cut-offs were to maintain schedule, but if they were a more popular celeb, sometimes it was pre-emptively to make sure it didn't get out of hand. In this case, the cut-off would be different depending on the handlers experience and comfort in crowd control.
      From personal experience here, sometimes people are so focused on what they want in the moment, that they wouldn't realise we were trying to make sure everyone was safe, they just kinda saw us as standing between them and the thing they wanted and didn't respond well. While personally, I don't believe that warrants being snappy or actively rude back, I can say that after 3 days of working 12 hours straight, most of which is on your feet (not even kidding, I was doing 20km/day), you just don't have the energy to be anything other than direct.

Otherwise it'd end up being dictatorship from the side of the press. Respect goes both ways. There should be boundaries on both sides.

    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)

    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.

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.

    Perfect example is Rachel Ziegler who's trashing Snow White movie next year! Talk about biting the hand that feeds you !

    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!
