When you’re famous, doing interviews is part of the job, and sometimes, you, unfortunately, have to dodge some pretty rude questions. Occasionally, celebs will give rude reporters a taste of their own medicine and be rude right back. However, sometimes, celebs are rude to interviewers completely unprompted.
Here are 15 times celebs were rude or inappropriate towards interviewers:
In early 2023, TikToker Rye Myers shared a video of the "rudest celebrity [he] ever interviewed" — Tony Danza.
In a follow-up TikTok, Myers said, "[Tony] called me to apologize and squash the beef. It was great to hear from him and certainly much appreciated."

During an episode of 'Love Island USA," contestant Kay Kay Gray decided to leave with her partner, Keenan Anunay, who was voted off. When host Sarah Hyland checked in with her about her decision, another contestant, Mike Stark, suddenly called Hyland out. The other Islanders were so shocked by his outburst that one even apologized to Hyland on his behalf.
When Ashley Graham interviewed celebs for ABC's 2023 Oscars pre-show, Hugh Grant gave short, sarcastic answers then rolled his eyes when their conversation ended.

Reflecting on the situation a few months later, Graham told the Sunday Times, "I could tell he didn't want to be there, that was obvious. Before, we were chatting — he was very pleasant. Then we started rolling, and he was like, 'I don't want to be here,' and I was, 'OK, work with me! I get it! But, like, work with me?'"
In an older interview, Hugh Grant roasted Ellen DeGeneres completely unprompted.

In 2016, Vin Diesel derailed his interview with YouTuber Carol Moreira by trying to flirt with her and insisting she was too "beautiful" and "sexy" for him to continue, making her visibly uncomfortable.

In the video's intro, Moreira addressed the situation, saying, "He began to hit on me in the middle of the interview, say that I was pretty, and he interrupted the interview three times to talk about it. I was laughing, completely uncomfortable. I did not like it. At the time I did not know how to react, but you will see that I was uncomfortable, it was not nice that he interrupted my work."
In 2013, Jesse Eisenberg did an interview with Univision host Romina Puga, which she later called "self-esteem butchering."

On her blog, Puga wrote, "So, I was just humiliated by Jesse Eisenberg...When the five minute 'interview' (more like self-esteem butchering) were finally over, I went behind a curtain to wait for the memory cards from the interview. I peaked around the curtain to ask Jesse about his neighborhood in New York (he lives a few blocks from where I used to live) and he immediately says, 'You're still here?'"
When Madonna appeared on the Italian version of "Top of the Pops," she teased the nervous interviewer.

On the "Women On Top" podcast, former E! News reporter Ali Fedotowsky said, "Jake Gyllenhaal shows up for the red carpet…My first red carpet for E! News…He walks up, I'm shaking in my heels. I say to him, 'Hi, Jake who'd you bring tonight?' Like, for a date, like, who’s your date tonight? …He goes, 'Bye bye,' and walked away from me." She then started to cry in fear of losing her job.

Gyllenhaal then did the same thing to the next interviewer, but still, his rudeness didn't sit well with her. She said, "I've walked so many red carpets because of [my season of] 'The Bachelorette' and done countless interviews, and I know how easy it is to be nice."

In 2015, Graham Norton told "This Morning" that interviewing David Cassidy was "one of the worst experiences of [his] life."
Former panelist Sherrie Hewson called Ringo Starr her worst "Loose Women" guest. During a live event in Llandudno, Wales, she said, "He just sat down, said, 'OK then, girls, what are we doing here? Shall we just get Paul McCartney out of the way?' This was live, by the way. Anyway, he carries on, 'Let's get Paul McCartney out the way. You want to talk about Paul McCartney?' I said, 'Well, no, you're here.' And he said, 'No, you don't. You want to talk about Paul McCartney.'"

She continued, "He was so angry. It was just so weird, I thought why? Why, why, why? It was just a really weird thing. And then, he said to the audience, 'Can I tell you all, if anyone wants an autograph, you can't have one, because I don't do things like that.' At the end of it, one of the producers came up with one of her little children, who was only four, and said that she knew he didn't do autographs, but told him that her daughter was only four, and she really loves the Beatles. He just said 'Really?' And then he said, 'Did you not hear what I just said? I don't sign autographs.'"

And finally, when comedian Bobcat Goldthwait appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno" in 1994, he pulled a lighter out of his pocket and his chair on fire.

The incident wasn't scripted or staged. Goldthwait later pleaded no contest to recklessly setting the fire. He was then required to pay a $3,888 fine and to record a PSA for a local burn center. Additionally, he got three years of informal probation.
