The Robert Downey Jr. one was especially shitty. The interviewer asked about things that happened almost 20 years ago and had nothing to do with the subject

[brodinigotmagic]

I liked how Robert Just walked out with that fake smile.

RDJ's interview sucks so much. You can see him breathing heavily as soon as the interviewer brought up his dad. Good thing he decided to leave!

[hunterburk]

Calling Whoopie Goldberg and Joy Behar from "The View" "TV titans" is quite a stretch.

[UNKLEnic]

Why doesn't the guy shut up and let us watch the interview. I'm walking out of this video

[ok-dcgp]

RDJ wasn’t it cringy. It was professional. The interviewer was so incredibly rude to him.

[hannahgentry]

RDJ tells interviewers before giving interviews that he will only speak about movies or events or whatever and not about his last issues or personal questions involving his relationships with people. If he chooses to bring it up then that's on his own accord, but he asks them to only speak about the movie. I would be pissed off as well.

The Bee Gees didn’t just walk off after Clive Anderson said didn’t remember a song. He kept making remarks such as “you’re hit makers… maybe just one letter short”, “my dog likes your music” and “you’ll always be tossers to me”. Clive also kept interrupting them to throw these insults. Barry Gibb went quiet about 5 minutes in and was obviously pissed off and the guy just didn’t stop. They almost didn’t do the interview at all but production told them Clive Anderson was a huge fan. I’m all for dark humor but the whole thing felt more mean spirited than some roasts I’ve seen and this was supposed to be a normal talk show interview.

Rdj's walkout wasn't cringey? He had the right to walkout because those interviews were supposed to be about Age Of Ultron, not about a topic Robert has repeatedly said has made him uncomfortable talking about.

[mccod]

Sorry I would of walked out like RDJ did. That reporter was rude

[PrimyFritzellz]

I completely understand the downey one. I respect him for keeping the cool. But you can just see in his eyes how pissed and sad he is.

[sarahmurphy]

Clive Andersons face was absolutely GOLD when he realised the walk off was for real... Good on ya Bee Gees. 👏👏👏👏

[rohitsrivatsan]

watchmojo, could you stop explaining every little thing and let us just watch the video?

[PapiSorrels]

Too much talking. We want to WATCH and FEEL the awkwardness not HEAR an explanation over the good stuff.

[techboy]

I️m a HUGE fan of RDJ and iron man, that interviewer was waaaay out of line. RDJ was openly vocal about the fact that the topic was uncomfortable and unnecessary to the movie promo. That interviewer either saw that and kept pressing or decided that he didn’t care and kept pressing.

[darkgirl]

Celebrity: Hey I’d like to focus on the topic we agreed with and not my personal life. Otherwise I’ll leave.

Interviewer: *brings up trauma and unrelated topics repeatedly*

Celebrity: *leaves*

Interviewer: Wow what an asshole am I right?

[ArmandoKozomara]

Narrator needs to talk 50% less and they need to show a bit more of the interviews

[AB-snlk]

Celeb: stop pushing it too far or im going to walk

Interviewer: *pushes it too far*

Celeb: *walks away*

Interviewer: *suprised pikachu*

[MShaiqable]

LAME! You should've let us hear the footage audio instead of talking over the good parts.

[sjclarke]

I loved it when Maurice Gibb said oh well, I better join them, when his brother's left the interview, it was the best part😁
