10 Most Cringe-Worthy Celebrity Interviews

8. Mel Gibson Calls Dean Richards An A**hole

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxZRfn2Rgqg With the release of his comeback film Edge of Darkness impending, Mel Gibson is doing the press rounds to promote it, when he comes up against WGNtv's Dean Richards, who after asking some cursory questions about the film, moves on to ask Mel whether he thinks audiences will accept him following his infamous drunken outbursts and anti-Semitic rant. Mel, who may or may not have been under the influence during the interview, appears manic, staring around the screen with googly eyes, declaring, "That was four years ago, dude!". Mel tries to steer the interview back to the film, at which point Richards decides to draw it to a close, and thinking that he's no longer on the air, Gibson whispers, "A**hole", giving this painful interview at least one pretty damn hilarious punchline.
