10 Most Cringe-Worthy Celebrity Interviews

2. John Cusack vs. Idiot USC Student

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yXF8Lhvjqa8 John Cusack acts like a pro here in this horrendous moment which occurs before the interview even starts, and in fact, it's become so infamous that nobody even bothered to upload the rest of the interview. A young girl, apparently a USC student, enters to interview Cusack about his film Grace Is Gone, and if her ditzy surfer accent doesn't make it clear that this isn't going to be the pinnacle of intellectual nourishment, then what comes out of her mouth next surely will. She mentions how it's funny that her classmates are watching and analysing American Beauty today, causing a confused Cusack to ask, "Why's that funny?". The interviewer seems to have mistaken Cusack for Kevin Spacey, insisting that he's in "the one with the rose petals", while Cusack, reacting like a pro, calmly corrects her and smiles his way through the awkward exchange.
