The thing that they don't tell you about celebrity interviews and junkets is that, while it all may look glamorous and exciting, it usually isn't.
It's a lot of waiting around in a hotel lobby, making chit-chat with your fellow journalists and roughly five minutes to hit the talent with as many questions as you can before you're hauled out of the room. Five minutes, in an interview, is nothing.
So, if you're working journalist or a YouTuber who's managed to get access to a big-name talent like, say, Vin Diesel, you're going to want to bring your A game, right? You want to show up, be professional, do a good interview and come away with something to show for it.
That's not exactly what happened when Brazilian YouTuber Carol Moreira turned up to interview Vin Diesel the other day. The young woman sat down and began asking questions about Diesel's career, but before long, the man started hitting on her. Awkwardly.
"God, you’re so beautiful," Diesel said, deflecting a question about Saving Private Ryan. “God, she’s so beautiful. Am I right or wrong? I mean look at her. How am I supposed to do this interview?"
As you'll see in the interview, Moreira's a pro and just laughs off Diesel's advances, but it's not before long when he stops the interview to make a few more passes at her.
Take a look and see for yourself. It all kicks off at 4:30.
Once Moreira uploaded the video, she said that, at the time, she "did not know how to react, but you will see that I was uncomfortable, it was not nice that he interrupted my work." Diesel's reps have yet to comment on the video.
