like a ticking bomb you never know when
these guys will go on
yeah England I brought you some tanning
I like that’s racist
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten unpredictable celebrity interviewees
how do was it you know when writing to
stretch into just a narrative without
using like a lot of the percent in jokes
it was difficult very difficult hey you
guys for this list we’re focusing on the
stars that often confuse interviewers
through odd behavior or responses I am
Shakespeare in the flesh what Disney
we’re excluding celebrities like Robert
De Niro who usually appears only vaguely
present during interviews but is still
pretty consistent with his demeanor
number 10 Andy Kaufman welcome back to
the show ladies and gentlemen as you can
tell Andy Kaufman is here sort of known
for his reclusive ways and extremely
bizarre public persona this comedic
performer made each interview a must
watch you have your own show no um
there I’m not doing much special right
now with David Letterman often asking
the questions Andy Kaufman thoroughly
confused audiences through an unorthodox
approach to comedy instigating feuds and
often conveying a slightly detached aura
from the present and again the hilarious
taxi star reportedly practiced
meditation to ease his performance
anxiety which demonstrates that he
wasn’t actually out of touch at all but
playing a perpetual prank on his
audience unfortunately Kaufman’s 1984
death only added to his reputation and
sadly he never returned for that final
bow you are actually going to ru wrestle
a woman uh-huh
why don’t you ever wrestle a man I’d
rather wrestle a woman number nine Billy
Bob Thornton I gotta say if that were me
in your position
I would have killed them undeniably an
actor’s actor and perhaps even the
victim of media toxicity at times this
man has been known to not give a frak I
sort of adopted me in a lot of ways for
one billy-bob married Angelina Jolie
when she was blossoming into a star and
with such a well-documented relationship
fails and Barty been married four times
well people are gonna have some
questions billy-bob you guys formed only
in the last couple of years right I
don’t know what you’re talking about how
so I don’t know you mean no of course
thornton earned criticism for veering
towards pretension i reck’n rave not man
here card i cure somebody most notably
during his 2009 interview with the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Radio
one program Q in which he took offense
to questions that touched on his acting
career as opposed to only his music in
general if Billy’s having a bad day
he’ll let you know about it are you
reacting the fact that I said yeah I am
I am since you’re instructed not to talk
about shit like that yeah I am reacting
to that yeah number eight
Charlie cheat but occasionally you know
giant marquee name comes through on your
caller ID and it’s like winning when
you’re the son of a Hollywood star and
essentially born into the movie industry
well a certain amount of
unpredictability comes with the
self-promotion I’m here to admit that I
am in fact HIV positive Charlie Sheen
has long been a wild card but in the
digital age he’s the king of bizarre
interviews and yes we’re talking about
the infamous winning sit down with Good
Morning America I’m by winning I went
here and I win there
now what by now the public has been
offered a few clues into Charlie’s
erratic behavior but over the years
media outlets essentially jumped on
board the charlie train seemingly
disinterested in the effects of his
inevitable crash I mean come on bro I
won Best Picture at twenty I wasn’t in
trying was even warm number seven
Russell Brand not only is FoxNews
bigoted it’s also misleading I once
watched it for 12 hours and there was
not one story about foxes he’s a rock
star of comedy mainly because he looks
like a rock star and played one in two
movies
to be fair however Russell Brand clearly
has some brains and the media is
reminded of that when they make the
decision to book him for an interview
but you did say at the start of the year
that you were considering attempting
celibacy is that something that you have
continued with what time do you finish
work the topics of conversation often
involve drugs politics and revolution
but that’s not say that brand doesn’t
have a few tricks up his sleeve it’s
easy to place him in a box yet time
after time he confronts the media elites
who apparently believe that they had the
comedian all figured out if we can
engage that feeling and change things
why wouldn’t we why is that naive why is
that not my right because I’m an actor I
mean I I’ve taken the right I don’t need
the right from you I don’t need the
right from anybody I’m taken number six
Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim talk
about the film you know this shows
comedy is is assisted by the post
editing process that’s not work I know
for me talking about I can’t listen to
him is the problem if you’re even
vaguely familiar with the eccentric
comedy antics of these two special
personalities well you can expect a
strange interview pretty much all of the
time mine does like apples little strong
though in a Tim and Eric are the guys
behind a series called Tim and Eric
awesome show great job
so when such creative individuals are
placed in the interview chair it’s only
natural for them to perform usually
asking weird questions and sometimes
just not talking at all
you know what ray it has been so fun to
travel this the whole country and
delivering our comedy every city as a
result the unprepared
interviewer won’t have a seriously
difficult time with these two but for
someone willing to play the game the
interviews can be extremely entertaining
oh I just did cocaine for the very first
time in essence Tim and Eric play sad
clowns for the benefit of our
entertainment that their revenge
you’re abandoned determined to put a
hole in something I want to break I want
to set this studio on fire it is mild
and will be my last official actor if
you guys puncture something number five
Bruce Willis
I was lying the whole time I was lying
the whole time that I was 60 I’m 74
years old this action star has gained a
reputation for sharp rebuffs and
stone-cold bluntness in his recent years
and no better places at shone than in
his interviews what are you talking
about Louis you ever heard that before
no it’s a little easy he knows it and
sometimes plays up the persona of course
someone like Zach Galifianakis is paid
to ask strange questions but for
everyone else
Bruce can appear like the disappointed
father who wants you to know just how
stupid your questions actually are say
poof’s I can imagine you you just love
to get in a car and just drive off you
know I could imagine you doing like the
whole route 66 thing one day I’m
thinking about driving right now I can
hardly keep my mind on this interview
you won’t provide a full meltdown no
just a curious demeanor complemented by
well-timed retorts a true professional
of unpredictability I gotta be honest
with you student what I don’t do my own
stunts sauna phone number for Tom Cruise
I have never worried Matt about what
other people think and what other people
say so here’s a guy who’s both
self-aware and entirely clueless when it
comes to his offbeat 21st century
interviews listen here’s a here’s the
thing Peter you’re stepping over a line
now you’re stepping over line you know
you are I suppose the questions that our
people want in the Peter you want to
know of course there’s the Oprah
interview in which Tom Cruise gushed
over Katie Holmes in a desperate plea
for something
but when it comes to more serious topics
like Scientology Cruz has no qualms
about getting serious in a very
confusing fashion most notably to a
slightly shaken Matt Lauer on The Today
Show maybe there are too many kids on
ritalin maybe electric shock your kids
on ritalin that I’m just saying but but
aren’t there examples where it works
Matt you don’t even you’re Glyn you
don’t even know what ritalin is all in
all when mr. Cruz speaks you just have
to nod your head and make sure the
cameras are still rolling
such a nice to meet you Tom I mean is
the best day this is like very much
making me sit number three Kristen
Stewart thank you beautiful the skin of
a killer as the star of the blockbuster
Twilight franchise this brunette beauty
must have known what she was getting
into
even if she wasn’t exactly prepared for
the media firestorm to follow the actors
are very sheltered you don’t want to
freak out the actors because they’ll
have nervous breakdowns and ruin your
whole day of shooting
most often Kristen Stewart seems
actively present during interviews yet
not entirely going with the flow I don’t
mind doing this but it can be weird but
at the same time like I don’t wish for
the question I’d rather ask that I
probably the same answer unsurprisingly
this has led to some criticism as k-stew
easily slides into the role of detached
actress that’s not really sure what all
the hype is about
yesterday on the plane I still go-gurt
all over the plane and the whole plane
smell like sour milk behold ha ha
j-law plays it to perfection which only
highlights the more strange appearances
of her fellow megastar it’s not the
Kristen Stewart isn’t savvy but just
kind of you know unpredictable when I
hear that people are intimidated or they
think that I’m like you know reposed or
like uh unapproachable or something that
actually I hate it uh-hum is like dude
fuck come up say anything to me I would
love to engage with you
number 2 Kanye West you ain’t got the
edges you ain’t got the answers you
ain’t been doing education bro you ain’t
been doing an education everyone knows
that a Kanye West interview will always
be predictably awkward and that’s
because Kanye hasn’t decided if he’s the
genius of the past 200 years or maybe
just be genius of the 21st century
imagine think about the type of shit wow
should I say interviews yeah and imagine
if someone said this very thing to a
girl at a bar yo what a baby I’m a
genius
yeah yeah yeah he’ll be like yeah this
issue who’s this guy there’s a lot going
on with this guy from his viewpoints on
fashion to his erratic tie rates on
Twitter and as a result the subsequent
interviews are primed for awkwardness
but you don’t always know what kind of
awkwardness I think I was like going
through now that like my version of my
terrible – Kanye is definitely the
senior VP of millennial meltdowns and
let’s be honest we all fuel the fire but
what a beautiful experience it is to
discover what exactly bothers easy from
interview to interview yeah my boy
Charlie they be son and me they be
acting like me no honorable mentions
this time let’s get on to number one
I’ll take a minute number one Mel Gibson
it’s good to see you back in the saddle
and doing what you do best thanks a lot
for joining us Mel take care bye bye
asshole so there are bond ways for
celebrities to maintain an unpredictable
persona and then there’s Mel Gibson
there’s no ego they leave their ego at
the door and it’s really a very nice
experience yeah I’m the only ego yeah in
the YouTube era he represents the
awkward and sometimes scary side of
passive-aggressive celebrities as he
will always smile away even though it’s
clear that he’s seconds away from
pulling the proverbial sword do I
understand correctly that underneath
this freewheeling sort of facade or you
know face that there’s a real
conservative guy in and is that true
well I don’t know I hate to sort of
pigeonhole myself in any way you know I
read I read an article that said not
politically correct I know what that
means
sure Mel Gibson can be pleasant when all
is good and well it’s just that when he
must explain his behavior he only makes
matters worse and so even when the most
basic of questions are asked Mel can
find a conspiracy within and proceed to
unload his beasts of burden go QWOP and
it’s burning its way through your
esophagus and you go oh man what did I
do that for I can’t put the toothpaste
back in the tube do you agree with our
list I disagree with it
and I think that there’s a higher and
better quality of life which celebrity
do you think is the most unpredictable
like once you’re aware of it it’s just
slaps you in the face everywhere you go
for more exclusive top 10s published
every day be sure to subscribe to
watchmojo.com I can’t imagine what the
other questions
I imagine I can’t imagine I’m so upset
