Cara Delevingne : Re: That 'awkward' interview

Seem's as if some people was fliiping their *beep* when they saw her 'bad attitude'. How is it bad? A sarcastic answer is bad? Also regarding the response from those washed up 'celebrities' from 'the view' . Did they watch it out of their *beep* "She's not famous, I'M FAMOUS!" Oh just go to your grave whoopi. Arrogant piece of sh*t.

Still, Cara takes the arrogance award. Her sarcasm was bad because it wasn't witty. She was being a cranky teenager making too much money promoting a film to get that grumpy.
Now she's taking refuge in her humor being "British." Oh yeah, look out Jennifer Saunders!

She should look at Amy Schumer's response to idiotic Australian interviewers and get sharper responses if she thinks the questions are so dull.
These guys were just helping her get the word out about her dumb movie and were being pretty nice about it.

You obviously don't know much about the lecture circuit. Being asked the same questions over and over and over multiple times a day. Interviewers should get unique questions other wise they'll never stand out of their craft.

Her sarcasm isn't bad because you don't think she was funny, there's nothing she could say to make you think she was funny because you've made up your mind beforehand.






A good review of "Inside Out":

Other actors/models/directors/producers whatever do the media circuit as well and they answer the same question over and over again and don't end up coming off as an entitled spoiled little brat.

You're right, just like Delevingne didn't come across as an entitled spoiled little brat. But like all actors/models/directors/producers/etc. they do show a lot of signs of fatigue and frustration.

she acted normal. interviewers were annoying and acted improperly. end of story.

That's her being normal? You're right, end of her story.

---

she acted normal.

---

No, she didn't. Well maybe that is her 'normal' behaviour, but that is not the way someone should act when they are promoting their film on a light-hearted morning program.

---

end of story.

---

I guess she gets away with it then!

I couldn't imagine Tom Cruise acting this way if someone (God-forbid!) asked him if he had read one of the Jack Reacher books!

I loved how that presenter came in and brought her back to Earth by saying that he loved how the teens talked like "middle-aged screenwriters"!! After that she became a bit nicer (perhaps she realised how petty she was being)!

---

No, she didn't. Well maybe that is her 'normal' behaviour, but that is not the way someone should act when they are promoting their film on a light-hearted morning program.

---

Well, as you are presumably a member of the film's marketing committee, I can see why you would be upset with her performance.

As a member of the public, who does not give a rat's whisker about how well she promotes a film that's probably bad anyway, I saw nothing that made me dislike her.

Obviously, her intent was to promote the film. But she was tired, and not reacting well to questions that, frankly, were5b4 a bit weird.

But I don't know her at all. She COULD be a horrible person, for all I know. But nothing about her awkward interview tells me so.

But hey, if I was looking for someone who would be great at promoting my film on morning talk-shows, I might think twice about hiring her.

Realistically she acted like a spoiled teenager who treats their parents every question with great annoyance, like everything is just such a massive imposition, irritating her beyond belief. Very immature and arrogant. Needs to grow up.

She was fine. Those interviewers are way too sensitive and mis-read her completely. Where is the rulebook that says everyone who appears in an interview must be energetic and entertain everyone? I couldn't believe they responded to her like that. I just didn't get it. But hey that's me.

---

Where is the rulebook that says everyone who appears in an interview must be energetic and entertain everyone?

---

I guess it was supplanted by the one that thought energetic should read as surly and questions that lead to entertaining discussion are to be met with disdainful contempt.

There's a massive difference between "not being energetic" and behaving like you are completely irritated and annoyed with every word somebody says to you. If she were just tired and not energetic this thread wouldn't exist. She acted like the whole thing was just a massive imposition to her. She was rude and appeared incredibly annoyed and irritated by anything the interviewers said to her. It's like a spoiled little teenager.

She seemed detached and spoiled and bratty. She came off very immature. It literally turned me off to her because that entire attitude is just so unattractive and immature. She needs to grow the *beep* up.

Saying she was just "not energetic" is an obviously blind defense. I get it, you're just trying to have her back but your ignoring how sh!tty she actually was.

Agreed. The interviewers weren't great, but that's no need to act like a spoiled child. She better get used to being asked the same questions.that's what promoting a film is all about. Its her job to come up with witty and unique responses. She wants to be an actresses but doesn't want to do the work.

You're describing yourself.


"I don't want to have a bloody avatar!" -paraphrased from BQQ's annoyances with IMDb's stupidity

Wait, they're her parents now?

Man, they were irritating me beyond belief, and I only had to listen to their dumb questions, not actually try and think of an answer for them.

You may have misunderstood the relationship. She's an up-and-coming actress with starring roles in a couple of pretty big movies. Whether you think she deserves her fame or not is beside the point - she's a lot more successful than them already. They're some washed up local TV morning show hosts well past their prime but at the absolute peak of their sad careers, seeing this as their one shot at acting like they're above a successful young person. She was a guest on their show, the least they could do is treat her with some respect. Her being on their show is a boon for them, not for her. Their whole act reeked of jealousy.

---

---

Yes definitely, but she needs them to promote her film which will make people see it and result in her becoming more than just an up-and-coming actress.

---

She was a guest on their show, the least they could do is treat her with some respect.

People watching 'Good Morning Sacramento' are probably getting ready for work or getting their kids ready for school. The almighty Cara Delevingne may well be the greatest thing in the world, but those people may not know her yet which is the point of the interview.

The people tuning in probably had never even heard of the 'famous' Ms. Delevingne, let alone know that she had read the book that this movie was about.

Should they have respected the almighty Care Delvingne more? Perhaps, but this is the type of show she was on. Nothing overly complicated, just simple to the point questions. It's breakfast television.

Ms. Delevingne should have swallowed her pride and went with it in order to promote her film, making more people want to see it (which would in tern making her more popular).

I think the interviewers didn't really come up with some good questions.
Just random bullish questions.
She would be much easier going if they had been doing there homework.

I saw this post and expected to be treated to some truly awful interview sh_t that would make me hate Cara or the interviewers. No such luck, it wasn't even that bad, people should get over it. Sure, she is not helping with her less than enthusiastic attitude, but her sarcasm was awesome and appropriate for those interviewers who were pushing this young woman around LIVE because they know they can, seeing as she isn't Taylor Swift or Kim K.

Wanna see really awkward, cringe-worthy interviews? Get familiar peeps

That Mel Gibson one (the first link) was a real treat, thanks m8. I was looking for more awkward interviews to watch after I saw this Cara Delevigne one and they are surprisingly hard to find without *beep* commentary attached, so this list was great.

I don't think it was right for everyone to blow up about it I mean it was really the interviewers who were obnoxious! I mean seriously! Who tells someone to go take a nap live? And the questions were stupid and not original at all. Cara deserves a little bit of a break. Her life is stressful. You can't be perfect all the time. Nobody IS perfect all the time. I can't stand people who think those should be the standards. What Cara really needs right now is a holiday. Let the damn thing go already!

Sorry, but she was not just being sarcastic, she was borderline rude, rolling her eyes at every question.

And don't come at me with "well, those were stupid questions". Um, no they were5b4n't.
Lots of actors get asked if they read the book on which their movie is adapted from and what their thoughts were. It's not a stupid question. Many actors have been asked that question and have answered it politely. Just like "You're so busy these days, how do you keep up?" since when is that a 'stupid' question?

It seems that her fans will do anything to defend her attitude. I agree with one of the hosts - if you're paid 6 million dollars in one month, you should be able to promote your product politely instead of rolling your eyes at every question that's thrown at you.

Even the way she greeted them. Absolutely no smile. Just a dry "Hi." What a delight.

She wasn't being sarcastic or funny. She was being a rude, entitled brat. The interviewers were right to pick up on the crappy vibe she was putting out to them. I see no talent in her, just an awful attitude. Ew!

I'm torn about this. I "get" British humour and I'm also terribly sarcastic myself. I do that thing where I answer a question with a stupid answer very deadpan, then follow up with the correct response (especially if it's a ridiculous question). So I didn't think it was rude at all, nor did I think it didn't make sense. having said that, probably not the best option to do in those sorts of interviews, tedious as I imagine they are. Just repeat stupid canned answers to stupid questions because that's part of your job. If you don't want it to be part of your job, get another one I guess?

First, why did you title this thread as if we knew what you were talking about? I'm guessing some mess at The View.

---

Seem's as if some people was fliiping their *beep* when they saw her 'bad attitude'. How is it bad? A sarcastic answer is bad?

Arrogant piece of sh*t.

---

Secondly, did you just vent all your stuff in that post? If it was an interview on The View, know in advance that it will be worthless. That show is ridiculous, not funny, people talk at the same time, and it makes a mockery of its (alleged) original concept- that it would present many different "Views". It does not.

I'm not quite sure what most of the tirade was about, with the not beepy beep and bleeps, but hey, if it made you feel better, that's always helpful :) And avoid that show in the future, now with the completely bereft of brain cells Raven-Symone (she even admitted LIVE on the show that she has a hard time putting her thoughts into words - so who hires her to be on a TALK show?

I rest my case :0)

I Googled it and wow, everyone did call it "That awkward interview"!! sorry about that, I stay as far away from that show as possible. Why "awkward" though, now I am sort of curious.

here is john green's point of view for this whole situation

https://medium.com/@johngreen/but-did-you-read-the-book-2e2dad0ebab1

PS the interviewers were really annoying..

Both parties were equally unprofessional. Given that there were 3 seasoned news anchors, one would assume at least one would be able to salvage the interview. I think the news anchors look worse here.

there was literally nothing wrong with that interview.. those presenters however WERE THE WORST

cause she is not smiling ear to ear and screaming in excitement they think she is irritated? how do Americans watch those people, definition of fake

Yep those presenters were just terrible, it honestly seemed to me like going into it they just didn't like Cara and were looking for an angle to try and get her to say something they could then mock.

Seemed fishy they open it with a question that was really a back handed compliment. You are doing all these things, I guess you are so busy you don't read then when Cara answers and clearly says she has read the book and was a fan again the guy chirps in You are so busy, does being busy help you focus more than if you weren't busy?" What kind of question is that to ask? Like I said I think they were forcing the busy thing hoping Cara would maybe say something and they would act like she was being a spoilt brat.

b68

She's a nobody, that hangs on to T.Swifts little bad girl club for cloutwhat's she done besides that awful paper towns and lame PAN? Busy, Doing what?Riding a blond singers coattails who goes through guys like a prostitute then sings revenge songs about how none of them can bear her for more than a few months and forms some teeny-bopper girl club to make themselves feel betterwhat a friggin' joke!

Wake up, Time to DIE.

I saw nothing wrong with the interview, except that she seemed tired. You can see the stress in her face. Her stabs at silly humor come off wrong (to an extent) only because she seemed tired. I cannot dislike her for her failure to be an automaton with a perky fake grin, no matter the occasion.

The interviewers were awful. Their questions were awful. Her stabs at silly humor would not have come across as sarcastic, if the questions had not been awful enough to invite that interpretation.

She soldiered on, and smiled, and bantered. She seemed genuinely surprised by the interviewers reaction. And so was I. It is one thing to notice that she seemed less perky than she should have been, and another to call her out for it on live TV.

---

Yes well so is probably the person working at Subway that is making someone's sandwich. We all need to make money, so sometimes you have to swallow your pride and be nice when you don't want to.

---

---

You keep making excuses for her. I don't agree but I do agree that the humor did come off wrong. Perhaps she didn't mean to come across as rude as she did.

---

The interviewers were awful. Their questions were awful.

---

I am not familiar with Good Morning Sacramento but I'd take a guess it's just light-hearted morning television.

Most people are probably either getting ready for work, or getting their kids ready, or having breakfast.

Maybe, "Did you read the book the movie was based on"? is not the greatest question but you can't expect anything too deep on morning television.

Most people know that Moses read out the 10 Commandments, that George Bush Snr and George W Bush were U.S. presidents, that gravity causes objects to hit the ground

forgive them for not knowing that Cara Delingugeugueue had already read whatever book this was

---

She soldiered on, and smiled, and bantered. She seemed genuinely surprised by the interviewers reaction. And so was I. It is one thing to notice that she seemed less perky than she should have been, and another to call her out for it on live TV.

---

I agree, maybe they should have known that they were dealing with a 'special case'. They are probably used to most people realising that this is breakfast television so it's just light-hearted fun.

Again, perhaps when you order your Subway sandwich, the person has already made 20 sandwiches, but they will still smile and make you one too.

Do you believe that Matt Damon would act this way if asked if he read any of the Bourne novels before staring in the film?

I doubt it.

You are probably a film fan and you are defending her but not everyone is into films. Perhaps someone wanted to go to the movies that night and she just put them off seeing that5b4 movie.

---

Yes well so is probably the person working at Subway that is making someone's sandwich. We all need to make money, so sometimes you have to swallow your pride and be nice when you don't want to.

---

That's fine. But as far as I can tell, she was doing her best. And also, I'm not her boss. I'm not part of the marketing committee for PAPER TOWNS. Nor has she insulted of offended me in any way. Nor can I see that she (deliberately) insulted anyone else.

I understand that advertising is part of the world. But I don't scold people for being poor advertisers. It's not my problem.

---

You keep making excuses for her.

---

[shrug]

---

16d0forgive them for not knowing that Cara Delingugeugueue had already read whatever book this was

---

Okay. I forgive them for that. That was actually one of the better questions. The next question was worse. The third question was also poor. And then they really went off the deep end.

In response to the first book question, she tried to make a joke. Because she was tired it came off less well than if she had been energetic and bouncy.

She has a quirky, ironic, sense of humor (I'm not sure "sarcastic" is the right word), that comes off fine when she is perky, but since she was drained, it came off wrong.

You can see this same humor in other interviews. Like where she explained that she and her co-star really hate each other, but just pretend to get along because "we're such good actors". Or when her co-star praises her, so she pats him on the shoulder and says "I paid him to say that." In the right circumstances it comes off fine. But you have to be perky to pull it off, and she was far from perky here.

I can understand why the anchors took it the wrong way. It seems a lot of other viewers took it the same way. Still, the anchors are the ones who escalated and began getting personal with her. In the end, they were far more unprofessional than she was. There was no deliberate malice on her part. They cannot say the same.

---

Again, perhaps when you order your Subway sandwich, the person has already made 20 sandwiches, but they will still smile and make you one too.

---

Well, if the person making my Subway sandwich tries to smile, but it comes off a bit crooked because she's dead tired, I'm certainly not going to complain to the manager.

You think I've never met a grouchy fast food clerk who's having a bad day? It happens. They're not always like those beaming happy clerk's in the fast food commercials.

---

Do you believe that Matt Damon would act this way if asked if he read any of the Bourne novels before staring in the film?

---

How the hell would I know? I'm not familiar with Matt Damon's style of humor. But I will say that if he was bouncy and energetic, and his smile was not crooked, the joke would likely come across better than if he looked tired and drained.

I've watched the interview a number of times 'cause it's just so much fun. Here's my take on it.
-x

McClary starts by calling her "Carla". But I think that's a non-issue that has nothing to do with what came afterwards.

Then comes McClary's long-winded question about whether she read the book. Curiously, the question seems to assume she might have read the book because it is taught in high schools, or because she has free time. Did McClary not realize that Cara was 22 years old? Or that an actor might think it was part of her job to read a source for her character?

Still, there is no indication that Cara took offense. Her response is simply a joke. Not only did she not read the book; in fact she did not read the script she just winged it. (At least one of the anchors laughs, probably Ken. So far, someone is taking her humor in the proper spirit).

Then she says, yes, she read the book; and it is a great book, and everyone should read it.

(This may have been a slight mis-step. She was asked about the book, and the obvious response is to praise it. But people don't like being told they should read books especially if they don't read books. But of course she was just trying to plug the book.)

Then anchor Ken Rudolph (to make a long-winded question short) asks her if she has more focus now, now that she is busier and has more on her plate?

This question is a real puzzler. Can anyone make sense of it? Does Ken have any reason to believe she once had LESS focus than she does now? The only theory that makes sense to me is that his question is aimed at the reverse of what it seems to suggest - he is in fact asking her to comment on her current low-energy levels.

Cara, her brow creased in puzzlement, is understandably confused and says so. She assures them that she loves what she does, and things are not too crazy. "I'm living my dream" she concludes, with a wan smile.

Then McClary asks her if she likes her character Margot.

Not necessarily a terrible question but not an ideal question if the goal is to invite a gushing positive answer. Margot is no miss perfect. She is a problem character. Many viewers do not like her, and that may be precisely the film-maker's intent.

Cara says "No, actually I hate her", which I'm sure she means as a joke. It does not come off too well, partly because her energy is so low, and partly because there just might be a little too much truth to it.

Then she gives a sincere answer. Yes, they have a lot in common. She recognized herself in things Margot said. But if she had been Margot, the entire film would have been different.

Cara has said similar things in other interviews. The implication is that she does not necessarily approve of Margot's choices. This is not a criticism of the film, but of the character who is no miss perfect, and is not supposed to be.

Cara is admittedly not doing a very good job promoting the film here. Her obviously-limited energy is all focused on trying to give a sincere answer to the question asked. Probably, what she really needed to do was ignore the question, except as an excuse to say gushing things about the film. But that's between her and the film's promoters. I cannot dislike an actress for being a real person.

At this point a5b4 3rd anchor, Mark Allen, jumps in. He seems to have decided that, by her implied criticism of Margot, Cara is badmouthing the film (which was certainly not her intent). He also decides that it is his job, as anchor, to defend the film and attack Cara in the process.

Mark starts by enthusiastically giving his reasons for liking the film. These reasons are utterly stupid, but Cara listens with smiles and nods and grunts of approval. Then, to her obvious surprise, he goes on the attack, accusing her of not being enthusiastic about the film. Is she exhausted?

Taken aback, Cara assures them that she is indeed excited about the film. She does, however, admit some level of exhaustion. The premier was last night; it was very emotional, and "it's the morning". By the end of this answer, she has recovered her smile, and is obviously trying to be conciliatory, accepting part of the blame for whatever the hosts' problem with her is.

McClary is not mollified: She accuses Cara of being irritated with them, "or is it just us".

Cara goes "n yeah I think it's just you". Perhaps not the perfect answer, and no doubt it angered McClary even more. But there was no right answer to McClary's question which was really an accusation. Cara had already admitted to being tired, and it did was not enough for them. What more did they want?

McClary condescendingly tells Cara to take a nap or get a Red Bull or s2000omething.

Despite her summary dismissal, Cara is left on screen. As they jabber inanely, she sits frozen, and we hear her mutter "end now" (or "gettin out"?) and "too far". Finally, the feed is cut and her screen goes to bars. Allen then goes "OOOH" as if this was a further insult on her part. Then comes the trash talking, culminating in an image of her face onscreen, accompanied by growling cat noises and horror movie screams.

Yes thanks for your response. I didn't mean to have a go at you or anything so we will have to agree to disagree.

There was one point I wanted to comment on though

---

At this point a 3rd anchor, Mark Allen, jumps in. He seems to have decided that, by her implied criticism of Margot, Cara is badmouthing the film (which was certainly not her intent). He also decides that it is his job, as anchor, to defend the film and attack Cara in the process.

---

I liked this bit because it was hard to tell if he was being serious or not (kind of like Cara herself I guess). Humor can do this.

---

Mark starts by enthusiastically giving his reasons for liking the film. These reasons are utterly stupid, but Cara listens with smiles and nods and grunts of approval.

---

I interpreted this differently. I didn't see it as him defending the film, but rather, making her remember that it is just a film. For example

"The teens talk like middle-aged screenwriters".

This line is making fun (to some extent) of the film and there's no way he is defending the film with this comment. In fact if you watch Cara after he says this line, she actually rolls her eyes (meaning she knew it was a bit of a stab at the film and in a sense a stab at her as well).

So the way I saw this 3rd anchor was that he bought her back to reality (i.e. you're just promoting a film, a film that is obviously not even written by a teen, get over yourself honey), and in fact after this she actually becomes a bit nicer (and as you said, she accepts part of the blame for the hosts' problem with her).

Again I'm not having a go at you, I have no problems with you, it's just a different opinion.

---

---

Well, I can't read the guy's mind. I can only go by what he says:

" I loved the movie I really digged this movie this is the teenager I always wanted to be so I love it here's what I like about the movie it's a good movie "

Do I think he actually means it? No way. But he obviously sees himself as doing what he accuses Cara Delevingne as failing to do: Talking about the film with "oomph":

" you were much more enthusiastic than you are now you make $5m for 6 wks of work, you can pretend to talk to Good Day Sacramento with some oomph she was so peppy on UK: [saying] 'It was a romp. I love playing this part'. "

But it is quite possible he does not really WANT anyone to believe that he ACTUALLY likes the movie. It's a film for teenagers and he's "outside the demographic" as he feels compelled to point out at least 3 times. It could be an ego thing. I don't know. Again, I cannot read his mind. I can only go by his words. And he definitely talks as though he thinks he is promoting the film with more "oomph" than Cara.

His very first words are an indignant "Oh really", which are a direct response to "If I were Margot the whole movie would be different." Then he claims he "digged" the film and accuses her of lack of enthusiasm for it. What am I supposed to think?

Also, I cannot read Cara's mind either. If she had rolled her eyes at him I could hardly have blamed her, but I cannot see that she does. She does have big eyes and they do seem to move occasionally, but I cannot attach specific thoughts to her eye movements.

---

So the way I saw this 3rd anchor was that he bought her back to reality (i.e. you're just promoting a film, a film that is obviously not even written by a teen, get over yourself honey)

---

Except, nothing here matches what he actually says. I can only assume these are your own opinions, and you are projecting them onto Mr. Allen.

Also, all the questions were directed at "herself". Did she read the book? Does she have more focus now that she's busier? What does she have in common with Margot? Is she enthusiastic about the film? Is she exhausted? Is she annoyed?

She tried to answer the questions asked, which were all about HER. To turn around and tell her to "get over herself" would have been extremely inappropriate. But I cannot accuse Mr. Allen of that particular sin based on any thing he says.

---

and in fact after this she actually becomes a bit nicer (and as you said, she accepts part of the blame for the hosts' problem with her).

---

She is obviously struggling to get through the interview. But this was by no means the first time she forced herself to smile. Nor even the first time she managed a little laugh.

Also he's not trying to be nice to her, so I see no reason why he should get the credit for her attempts to be nice.

Yes the questions are about herself, what I meant by the 'get over yourself' is the way she was behaving (the rudeness etc). But yes in an interview like this the questions would be about her.

---

but I cannot attach specific thoughts to her eye movements.

---

Just check again after the "middle-aged screen writers" line, she does roll her eyes.

---

Yes the questions are about herself, what I meant by the 'get over yourself' is the way she was behaving (the rudeness etc).

---

You speak for yourself of course. Allen says nothing about it. Allen accuses her of exhaustion and lack of enthusiasm, and never tells her to "get over herself".

McClary is the anchor who claims to perceive deliberate rudeness (" you do seem annoyed with us everything sarcastic "). but 2000Rudolph admits he thought (at least at first) that she was just trying to be funny (which I think was probably correct).

I think Allen and Rudolph are sort of on the right track. Her crime is making ill advised attempts at humor while too tired to properly pull it off.

---

Just check again after the "middle-aged screen writers" line, she does roll her eyes.

---

You've got to be joking. The camera returns to her after an interval, and catches her in a semi-distracted pose, not looking at the camera, while she plays with her hair a bit. I don't know what she's thinking and neither do you. I don't know what's in front of her eyes and neither do you. Please! Just admit this! Otherwise I will have to start entertaining doubts about your sanity.

The then looks back towards the camera and gives a little smile. This was probably the only thing intended as a reaction to his comment. Then his question veers in a hostile direction, and even after that she manages to end her answer with a smile.

i loved her performance in Suicide Squad
