This Supercut of Awkward Celebrity Interviews Will Definitely Make You Squirm

A compilation made by World Wide Interweb focuses on a particular type of celebrity moment the world can’t seem to resist: the awkward interview. This cringe-worthy four-minute-long clip features big names talking back to journalists, with insults like “I’m shutting your butt down” (Quentin Tarantino) to “Bye bye a**hole” (Mel Gibson).

There are some classics in the video, like the time actor Tom Cruise jumped up and down on Oprah’s couch after proclaiming his love for Katie Holmes (now his ex). Or actor Crispin Glover volunteering to arm wrestle on The Late Show With David Letterman.
