Celebrities do interviews all the time and you rarely see them get upset.
But when you have people asking you questions multiple times a day, surely you’ll develop some pet peeves.
We asked Lenny Kravitz, Marques Houston and Affion Crockett about some of their interview pet peeves and all have one thing in common.
They don’t like interviewers who are trying to stir up dirt!
Check out their words below:
Global Grind: What are some of your pet peeves during an interview?
Lenny Kravitz: “When people are just looking at stuff on the internet and asking questions that, you know what other people have talked to me about, and they’re not imaginative. You can tell when someone’s just going through the ropes and they don’t give a shit what they’re talking about. So, that I don’t like. I’m down to talk about anything, as long as the person, see like we’re talking now, sounds.”
Marques Houston: “My pet peeves are an interview person or an interview host that asks the wrong questions, you know what I mean? I can’t really explain it, but it’s like you know, questions that have nothing to do with nothing. I don’t like nosey interviewers that just want to get all in your personal space.”
Affion Crockett: “I think whenever … any interview that’s coming from a negative standpoint, where they either want to make you look bad or paint you in a negative light or dig for dirt, that’s really my peeve. But I know how to skate around that now.”
So with that said, do you think you have what it takes to be the next great celebrity interviewer?
