Any journalist who's been on a media junket will tell you that it's nowhere near as glamorous as it looks.
More than anything, it's all about making the interviewee feel comfortable and letting their guard down so they'll talk to you or engage with you. What you don't do is, of course, insult them. To their face. In the same room.
However, that's exactly what Ornella Fleury did on French television show Le Grand Journal when she was interviewing Jonah Hill during a media appearance in support of War Dogs.
Essentially, Fleury cracked a joke about having a sexual fantasy with Hill and... well, watch the video and see what happens. Don't forget to turn on subtitles on YouTube.
In case you didn't catch it, the presenter makes a joke about having a sexual fantasy where Hill makes her laugh and then his two friends, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, turn up and Hill then disappears. Hill replies with, "I'm glad I came on this show to be ridiculed by a local presenter, it's nice."
As it turns out, Hill didn't find the whole experience all that funny and it's been reported by BFMTV that, after the interview was finished, Hill cancelled all his media appearances and left the country.
Did she go too far or was it a case of him not being able to take a joke? Let us know in the comments!
