In a recent interview with Chris Stark of the Scott Mills
BBC radio show, Mila Kunis expressed an actual interest the conversation. This
shouldn’t be something so out of the ordinary. Yet, it seems that entertainment
journalism is becoming extremely repetitive and the celebrities are getting
bored!
A video of the interview was posted on YouTube and has
received attention through the social networking site Reddit. In the video a
nervous, first time interview, Chris Stark has come prepared with questions for
Mila Kunis about her latest role as a witch in Disney’s soon to be released
film Oz: The Great and Powerful.
Stark admits to Kunis that he is actually nervous about
interviewing her, basically because she’s an attractive celebrity. In turn
Kunis ends up asking him questions about why he’s nervous and tries to make him
feel more comfortable. Oddly enough, Stark goes on to explain his favorite
alcoholic beverages, who his friends are, where they hang out, and eventually
even invites her to be a guest at wedding he has to go to.
While this does not really seem like an interview at all at
this point, Kunis seems entertained. When Stark mentions that he has to get
back to the prepared questions she says “Why this is way more fun for me!”
Stark continues on with his casual conversation while Mila
Kunis continues to be carefree and enjoy herself. When a staff member
intervenes, Kunis agrees to discuss her movie. However, she says “Let me just
give you the answers to the questions I know you’re going to ask.”
She goes on
for about 40 seconds to explain her part and how she felt about it as well as
how she felt about working with her co-stars. Her interviewer stares dumbfounded because she has indeed appeared to answer any question he was planning on asking her.
Are journalists becoming too predictable? Celebrities are
interviewed by many different people before a movie comes out and can
apparently guess what they are going to be asked at each interview. Has
entertainment journalism become standardized?
