18 Celebrity Interview Moments That Are Highly Awkward And Uncomfortable

Few things grab our attention like the way an awkward celebrity interview does. It isn't fun for the stars involved at all. Sometimes even viewers and fans have to resort to watching through their fingers. Plus, when celeb lands themselves in an embarrassing interview situation, more people try to dig deeper into what happened. The uncomfortable moments were filmed and re-uploaded on social networks. Then, curious and cringe-seeking netizens can't stop smashing the replay button and spreading rumors.
