Bruce Willis Awkward Interview

Another interview which is quite uncomfortable to watch is with Bruce Willis. He is supposed to be promoting a new movie but instead, he responds with short and blunt answers.

• The first thing I noticed is how Bruce didn't actually respond to the question, he gave a dispreferred response. He said 'Istanbul' when he got asked where his favourite place was to film in the movie, but they didn't film there for the movie. This is the first thing that made the interview awkward.
• The interviewer then goes on to tell them about his favourite line, and asks Bruce if he agrees with the line. Bruce's reply is 'no, that's just a line in a movie'. He says this with hesitations, making the atmosphere more awkward.
• They talk about the car scenes in the movie too, the interviewer asks if Bruce is the kind of person who loves to drive. Bruce responds with 'I'm thinking about driving right now, I can hardly keep my mind on this interview'. This could be seen as quite rude, as it suggests he would rather be somewhere else than where he is.
• Mary Louise Parker, his co star, doesn't make the situation any better throughout the interview. When Bruce gives a dispreferred response, she always laughs or doesn't say anything to justify his reply. This makes the interview a lot more uncomfortable.
• They both also comment on the sirens in the background. 'Do you hear that?' making it seem like they are avoiding the questions and steering away from the awkwardness of the interview.
