Richard Madeley calls Chris Rock ‘the worst celebrity he’s ever interviewed’
OHMYGOSSIP — Richard Madeley described Chris Rock as the “worst celebrity” he’s ever interviewed after Will Smith hit him at the Oscars.
The 65-year-old TV presenter discussed his own experience of interviewing Chris, 57, during a conversation about the Oscars incident on ‘Good Morning Britain’.
Speaking to his co-host Susanna Reid, he said: “I was asked by GQ Magazine some years ago. He was the most unpleasant person I’ve ever interviewed of my entire career, and that goes back to 1972 when I started at a local newspaper.
“It was for the film ‘Madagascar’. Had it been live, it would have been abandoned.
“He was the most unpleasant, rude, aggressive, unlikeable person I’ve ever interviewed on camera, without question. His behaviour was awful in my book. He is the most unpleasant celebrity I’ve ever had the misfortune of interviewing.”
Will confronted Chris on stage after the comedian made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
The stand-up star joked about Jada starring in a new ‘G.I. Jane’ movie, in an apparent reference to her shaved head, which is the result of her having alopecia.
Reflecting on the dramatic incident, the former ‘This Morning’ host added: “If a man makes a crude and rude remark about their woman, you are playing with fire … I’m not saying it’s right.”
However, Susanna had a different take on the much-discussed incident.
The 51-year-old TV presenter insisted that Will’s behaviour cannot be justified in any way.
She said: “That is an assault and it’s not OK. There is no justification for hitting another human being.”
Susanna described Will as a “great person to interview”.
But, she added: “It’s not OK to get on stage and hit a human being.”
