14 DAY TRIAL // Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg probably have the most impressive track record in terms of awkward promotional interviews: both have admitted to anxiety with public speaking and a sense of unease when doing promo work.
Which makes them just perfect for this new Funny Or Die skit, which actually aims (and succeeds) at being a bit more than just comedy.
Kristen and Jesse will be seen next in “American Ultra,” an action comedy in which they play stoners and lovers on a special governmental mission, because Eisenberg’s character is also an undercover secret agent.
Anticipating the kind of questions they will be getting on the upcoming press tour, which also includes plenty of junket interviews, Funny Or Die got Kristen to pull a hoax on Jesse by flipping the tables on him.
In the process, she’s also exposing the sexism in this type of press events, which means actors get asked all the serious questions, while actresses get “girlie” questions that have no connection to the film they’re promoting.
The result is a video that is as intentionally awkward and hilarious as you’d expect, if you know these 2 stars and their biting sense of humor. So, in case you were wondering, Jesse isn’t OK with talking about his body or his breasts on camera, with strangers, when he should be promoting a film.
Enjoy!
