Default How not to conduct an interview

The interview is to promote the movie not psycho-analyse or look for faults in RDJ, talk about going off topic, what a ****!! I see parallels of this in NSR too.

Interviewer has a history of being a tit too. Richard Aoyade (sp) took him down a while back while Tarantino upped and left in a blaze too.

What a **** indeed. RDJ that is. They (actors, singers, celebrities etc) crave publicity and exposure for self promotion and financial so have to expect scrutiny. Good on Krishnan for persevering with searching questions. If these people want to be in the public eye they have to expect difficult questions and answer them.

Why? I agree that if you do something in your past and you are in the public, then you have to take the rough with the smooth, but he was there to promote a movie, not answer questions he has answered before.

I thought the interviewer was a ****. He asked the questions, fair enough, it was clear RDJ didn't want to answer them and gave his reasons why, he persevered, so he left.

If a window cleaner is booked to come do your windows, he doesn't expect to have his past ripped open? in the same way RDJ wasnt expecting to discuss anything other than the new movie, which he's probably had to do 10 times that day.
If we want to know his and other stars' past, wikipedia.

I bet most window cleaners would happily sit down and have a chin wag in lieu of washing windows. Becoming uppity and precious seems a favoured reaction by some 'stars' when an interviewer deviates from the script.
I think Frank Skinner had it right when he had guests on his show. A giant plug would be dangled down from the ceiling when the guest would mention their latest film or book.

Fair enough if the interview was to discuss his career, his past, etc, but it wasn't. Sure RDJ can be a **** and sometimes comes across as arrogant, but that still doesn't mean the interviewer can trawl through his past to dig some dirt, that wasn't the purpose of the interview, the brief for both the interviewer and the interviewee was to plug the new film.
