17 awkward celebrity interviews you'll want to watch on repeat

During an episode of The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon when Dua was guest hosting, she accidentally referred to Gwen's partner Blake as her husband - when they they weren't married at the time. "So I heard that you've been spending quarantine with your husband Blake Shelton at the ranch in Oklahoma," Dua said. "Who else was with you? How was that?"

"Well, he's not my husband," Gwen replied, before easing the awkwardness with, "But that sounded cool when you said that."

Happily, one year after the awkward exchange between Dua and Gwen in August 2020, she and Blake tied the knot on his ranch in July 2021. Cute!

During a press conference for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, a female journalist asked director Quentin Tarantino about Margot Robbie's character Sharon Tate's lack of lines. He snapped back and refused to answer. The conversation went a little like this,

"Quentin, you've put Margot Robbie, a very talented actress, in your films - she was with Leonardo [DiCaprio] in Wolf Of Wall Street, she was in I, Tonya. And yet you haven't really given her many lines in this movie. I'm guessing that was a very deliberate choice on your part, and I was just wondering why that was? [Why] don't we hear her speaking very much?" The journalist asks.

To which Tarantino responds, "Well I just reject your hypothesis."

Margot added, "I always look to the character and what the character is supposed to serve to the story. I think the moments that I got on screen gave an opportunity to honour Sharon and the likeness. I don't think it was intended to delve deeper... I think the tragedy ultimately was the loss of innocence, and to really show those sides of her I think could be adequately done without speaking. I did feel like I got a lot of time to explore the character even without dialogue specifically."

As a year, 2018 was brilliant for awkward celebrity interviews. From Cardi B's butterflies in her vagina to Haim's Estee interview-bomb with Liam Payne and ~ that ~ A Star Is Born audition from Alison Hammon to Bradley Cooper, prepare to cringe.

This Jim Carrey red carpet interview will make you very, very uncomfortable.

In between walking in circles around the presenter, the actor says, "There's no meaning to any of this, so I wanted to find the most meaningless thing that I could come to and join and here I am. You've got to admit it's pretty meaningless."

When the reporter explains they're at the event to celebrate icons, Carrey continues, "Boy, that is just the absolute lowest aiming, you know, possibility that we can come up with. It's like icons, do you believe in icons? I don't believe in personalities, I don't believe that you exist, but there is a wonderful fragrance in the air."

He continued, "Yeah I don't believe in icons, I don't believe in personalities. I believe that peace lies beyond personality, beyond invention of the skies, beyond the red 'S' that you wear on your chest, that makes bullets bounce off. I believe that it's deeper than that."

Blimey.

From the "Carla Delevingne" to the "You seem a little irritated. We'll let you go take a little nap and maybe get a red bull", this Paper Towns interview didn't go well for Good Morning Sacramento.

During a press tour for Legend, Tom Hardy very quickly shut down a question about his sexuality under the guise of whether it's hard for celebs to talk about it in the public eye.

"We don't all look alike!", Samuel burst in response. "We may all be black and famous, but we don't all look alike! You're busted. You're an entertainment reporter? And you don't know the difference between me and Laurence Fishburne?"

When Kourtney Kardashian was asked about Kim's robbery live on Australian television, she blanked the question completely and instead started talking to her publicist.

But showed him the eye on his hand instead. Wait, what?

During a live interview on the Oscars 2015 red carpet, Fifty Shades of Grey's Dakota Johnson was joined by mother Melanie Griffith, and proceeded to fall out with her straightaway.

Very strange. Very uncomfortable. Very confusing.

While on a press conference for Friends With Benefits, Mila slaaaaayed a question about why Justin decided to make the move from music to movies. Agh.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber may have been an item, but she doesn't want to be responsible for giving him advice on how to behave after they've split. (Skip to 0.24).

If you were wondering, asking Robert Downey Jr. about his father and his relationship with drugs during Iron Man promo doesn't go down well. Just ask Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

Discussing how violence in the Oscar-winning director's films impacts voilence in real life didn't go down well, then.
