Wow what a cunt, this just proves that being a celebrity is not something you want in your life.
Same fucking guy [video=youtube;GrsJDy8VjZk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrsJDy8VjZk[/video]
[QUOTE=Korova;47578569]Same fucking guy [/QUOTE] I was just about to say he was the same guy. What an asshole
Surely, the appropriate thing to do if you want to start asking those kind of questions is to ask the star about it beforehand to see if they're alright with it. To just derail your own interview halfway through by changing the subject is just being a massive cunt in more ways than one.
Guru-Murth has always been a shit interviewer and does interviews with pretty much the sole reason of eventually pushing buttons. It's all for shock / impact and it's pretty pathetic. C4 needs to stop the whole "we're edgy! Look at us!" thing they keep doing.
What a loser, if the guy wanted to be a hard hitting journalist/interviewer maybe he shouldn't be working for channel 4 or interviewing actors promoting their new movies.
[QUOTE=massaki;47577631][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOjQ2PZ_hbU[/media] Richard Ayoade (Moss) also called him out on his poor interviewing skills, throwing back to his interview with Tarantino where he changed the subject to violence rather than letting him promote Django at about 4:26[/QUOTE] Smartest guy I've seen in a while.
Krishnan Guru-Murthy is a shitheel of a news reporter and he should've been fired for what he did to Tarantino in a separate interview.
Basically: "So I hear that Avengers went really well?" "Of course it did. Y'know I go on set, do what I always do and have fun wi-" "So about doing them drugs son? Thinking of trying that again?" Jesus, what a total bipolar-ish and sensitive interview. Glad RDJ left before it got worse.
Why the fuck are their microphones so fucked up.. I'm hearing RDJ in my left ear when he's on the right, and the fatman on the right when he's on the left.
Celeb agents should just blacklist this guy
[QUOTE=xfreak341xx;47577953]I feel bad for Robert, he looked like he was about ready to swing, good on him for not flying off the handle. Dude should at LEAST be suspended for trying to stir up that kind of drama.[/QUOTE] He seemed like he was about to tear up. Handled it well tbh.

The microphones are always single channel, usually mapped to left and right to be mixed by the editor later. The editor didn't do shit.

Honestly I started feeling bad for him then he just shut the whole thing down after asking whats going on. What a champ.
He looked like he was about to cry, holy shit. I can understand at least a little where the interviewer was going, but no means no. You don't keep pushing that shit, if they don't wanna talk about it they don't wanna talk about it.
Wow I skipped from 2 to 5 minutes and it went from RDJ's view on Tony Stark from the comics to movie to his political stance what the hell?
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;47577759]He was really visibly uncomfortable as soon as that line of questioning started, how incredibly inconsiderate of the interviewer to continue.[/QUOTE] the way the interviewer kinda laughs as if it's a joke after Robert leaves shows how much of an asshole he really is paparazzi and people like this try very hard to get dirt on celebs and trick them into saying something even SLIGHTLY off, no matter how innocent it is, so that they can manipulate the wording into turning them into a bad guy for views
[QUOTE=IceWarrior98;47577584]You know something bothers someone, don't be surprised about their reaction when you bug them about it. Especially if it's something that's been well known to be something they don't want to talk about.[/QUOTE] He was trying to be a hardcore "real" journalist, just pressing for questions whenever he gets the opportunity. The kind that desperately wants to make another Frost Nixon happen with anyone who will subject to their shit.
That look on Robert's face when he said, "Your foot is starting to jump a bit, you might want to go to your next question..." I totally leveled with Robert and felt the same irritation he was feeling. He seemed like he was holding back a great deal more frustration that he showed and I think that is admirable he kept his cool. Just walked out and said "nope. mkay bye."
What a disrespectful interviewer he was, and i think i heard him call the interviewer a schmuck towards the end there. Stumbled upon this while looking at the comments, oh boy... [img]http://i.imgur.com/INMcJog.gif[/img]
What kind of slime asks such personal things in a damn promo interview?
I understand that being a reporter and other similar fields is to push the envelope to get a story but you shouldn't toss your humanity aside for it like this man clearly has, there's limits.
[QUOTE=XxThreedogxX;47580550]What kind of slime asks such personal things in a damn promo interview?[/QUOTE] Shit-tier journalist who doesn't understand what he's doing. There's this necessary characteristic to being a professional of any kind: the ability to know where you are and what you are doing. News correspondents don't start pressing eyewitnesses for details. Promo-interviews don't deviate far from the subject.
As someone who has done some interviews, you always make your intentions clear before you start. "SO we're gonna talk about ____ and then maybe ____, is this okay?" It's pretty weird to do it in the interview and put someone on the spot, pretty unprofessional.
Damn, the face, the eyes, the breathing. I can't believe the reporter continued to ask but seeing his past interviews he doesn't know where to stop. Then again it seems he always go for controversy.
The worst thing is that C4 News are getting a shitload of views for this, which will only show the hacks that run it that this is a good idea and they should continue pushing celebs' buttons for that viral video

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;47580562]I understand that being a reporter and other similar fields is to push the envelope to get a story but you shouldn't toss your humanity aside for it like this man clearly has, there's limits.[/QUOTE] Depends on the context. This was clearly supposed to be a lighter, promotional interview and RDJ was blindsided by a subject he had no interest in talking about at the moment.
What has come to the media these days.
