Adverbs of manner

And today we're counting down our picks for the most painfully awkward or disturbing celebrity interviews that left us all squirming.

Aren't there moments where a guy, like, crashes in the corner like, oh, my God, it's all my mom's fault?

And the Academy Award for the most awkward red carpet interview goes to.

The British actor raised eyebrows at the 2023 Oscars when he stopped for a brief chat with model and TV presenter Ashley Graham.

Grant quickly made it painfully clear he'd rather be anywhere else, offering blunt, almost comically short answers to every question.

Okay, well, what are you wearing tonight then?

Even when Graham tried to inject some enthusiasm, asking about his experience filming Glass Onion, Grant shut it down with a reply so lifeless it could have been the subject of its own murder mystery.

How fun is it to shoot something like that?

Yeah, but still, you showed up and you had fun, right?

Once the interview hit the Internet, it went viral, with some criticizing Grant for being rude, while others chalked it up to classic British humor.

Comedian Bobcat Goldthwaite is famous for his wild antics on stage.

And when he was invited on the Tonight show with Jay Leno in 1994, he brought some of them along.

Do you see yourself as a role model for our young?

I think I'm an excellent role model for children.

I think they need more role models like me.

During the interview, Goldthwaite, who was apparently furious over the cancellation of the Arsenio hall show, decided to stage a protest by setting the guest chair on fire.

Well, it is sweeps, and I love Jay very much.

And I thought, well, what if I. I don't know.

It was a stunt that could have gone horribly wrong, but

thankfully, Leno doused the flames with his water and then made Goldthwaite sit in the now charred seat.

Whatever point the comedian was trying to make got lost in the smoke.

Instead, he ended up getting charged with a misdemeanor, fined $2,700, and

forced to film a series of fire Safety Psych number eight, Mariah Carey okay, cheers.

I only drink it after 3pm for an interviewer, breaking juicy celebrity news must be thrilling.

But you'd think a seasoned talk show host would know when to exercise a little restraint.

Back in 2008, Mariah Carey appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show mid rumors that she was pregnant.

The other thing is that people are saying that you're pregnant.

In reality, she had been dealing with fertility issues and wasn't ready to go public with the news yet.

That didn't stop DeGeneres, who, despite Carey's glaring discomfort, pulled out a bottle of champagne and dared her to drink.

Carey then faked a sip, which pretty much confirmed the news and led to DeGeneres screaming in delight, You're pregnant.

Looking back, the singer described the moment as extremely uncomfortable, made even worse by the heartbreaking fact that she miscarried soon after.

Jackson it doesn't speak well of you if you're an entertainment reporter and you can't tell two very famous actors apart, especially when they look nothing alike.

I don't know you're the entertainment reporter for this station.

Jackson, KTLA anchor Sam Rubin asked him about his recent super bowl ad.

Jackson hadn't been in one Rubin had actually mistaken him for Laurence Fishburne, who reprised his role from the Matrix in a commercial that year.

You're as crazy as the people on Twitter, right?

Once the blunder was out there, there was no taking it back.

Morgan Freeman wasted no time calling Rubin out, reminding him that not all black actors look alike.

Of course, Rubin was clearly embarrassed and quickly offered an apology to Danny Glover.

Vin Diesel Sometimes an awkward interview is the host or reporter's fault.

Other times, like in this instance, it's the celebrity who's to blame.

I put Vin Diesel on Google and that kind of.

In 2016, Brazilian YouTuber Carol Moreira was simply doing her job interviewing Vin Diesel when he visited the country.

Diesel spent most of the interview interview shamelessly flirting, repeatedly commenting on her looks while ignoring almost all of her questions.

Moreira looked uncomfortable, yet she remained professional and tried to get the interview back on track, to no avail.

At one point, Diesel even declared her too sexy to continue and suggested they ditch the interview for a date.
