14 Most Problematic Celebrity Interviews In Hollywood History (4 of 5)

David Letterman sucked Jennifer Aniston’s lock of hair on the Late Show

So, apart from all the weird things Letterman did on his Late Show, this one clearly wins over as the weirdest thing ever! In a 1998 interview, Letterman scooted his chair close to Jennifer Aniston and said that he wanted to try something and asked Jennifer to excuse him if it comes across as “rude”. Jennifer sat there clueless as he placed his hand over her neckline and tried to lick a streak of Jennifer’s hair hanging loose over her ears. She almost screamed in shock asking him what was he doing. Letterman put her hair into this mouth with his other hand and sucked on it. Jennifer used a cloth to wipe her hair in shock, as Letterman laughingly accused her of shocking him by screaming like that as if what he did was totally sane.

As he continued with his interview, he told her that she still looked traumatized and she confirmed it by saying that she absolutely was and jokingly asked someone to take her off the stage.

Looks like we have something more on the list of obnoxious things Letterman said on his weird Late Show. Uma Thurman, “Pulp Fiction” actress, went to his talk show when she was 25-year-old. While talking about her film, Letterman drifted into real life and asked her if she had ever dated someone older than her. She didn’t respond clearly. Then, he asked her if she had ever dated a man who was above 30, she said yes. And then he kept adding to the number with the same question until he got to his own age, which was 48 at that time. “No” was her answer as she giggled awkwardly.

Letterman then interrogated about her ended marriage, how long it lasted, why it ended, etc. She did not seem interested in answering those questions. She just told him that her marriage lasted almost a year and that she certainly learned some things from it. And then he abruptly said that her ears are so perfect! Weird alert. Weird alert.

The actress giggled in response and continued to chat about her film, which was going to premiere soon. Letterman replied that it was a lovely, lovely piece of work, as Thurman herself.

We don’t understand how a 48-year-old man hitting on a 25-year-old woman on national television was seen as funny and acceptable.

 

 

A journalist commented on Rashida Jones’ skin color and cackled when she said she’s ethnic

During the 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards, the camera focused over Rashida Jones’ gown as she was talking to a reporter. This reporter commented on Jones’ tan and said that she looked as if she had come from an island just now. The reporter apparently did not know about Jones being biracial and remarked that Jones looked tan and very tropical. Jones responded, “I mean, you know. I’m ethnic.”

To this, another reporter replied, “Me too,” and the former reporter giggled to make matters even worse, and said that’s what it is, being ethnic. Okay, seriously, who’s hiring these people after all?
