Celebrity interviews aren't easy y'know, and while we would never divulge who our worst celebrity interviews were, we will tell you what happens when we have some one-to-one time with an A-lister. So if you've ever read an interview with a celebrity and thought: 'Wow, that really wasn't very interesting at all'? Well, we have to tell you, it's not always our fault. Here are some serious struggles that we journalists face ALL the bloody time...

1. When a celebrity says... "I'm not going to answer that"
2. Or answers a question with "Oh, you know...!"

Erm... no we don't, fancy telling us?

3. Or pretends like they've been asked a really hard question: "Ooo, that's a hard one"

Oh really? Thanks so much for confirming my great journalistic skills, now seeng as I have allocated you three minutes out of the five we have for this question could you kindly... ANSWER it.

4. The best is when they pretend they've never been asked that before. "Gee... wow. Nobody's asked me that before. Gosh. I mean... I dont know"

OH you "dont know" again... how surprising. We might as well just go home.

5. When we ask a celebrity for their number one beauty tip and their response is "Water, I just drink a lot of water"
6. Rolls eyes. Anything else? And they say "SPF"

Groundbreaking. Thank you.

7. Journalist: "Who is the most inspirational person in your life?" Basic celebrity answer: "My mum"

Right.

8. A celeb is asked: What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?" and they are guaranteed to say: "Just be yourself"

OOOKKKKK.

9. So you have a three minute interview and need to break the ice a bit. You ask about their film and receive a great 2 minute 45 second answer that no one cares about...
10. When they say "I was incredibly shy as a child, I just hated the limelight!"

Lies and slander.

12. One GLAMOUR fashion writer once asked a designer where the idea of one of his most famous pieces came from... his response... "Look it up on Wikipedia."

Sure, while I am doing that I will also sit long and hard questioning why I ever came to this interview in the first place.

13. The worst. "That's a tough question, do you mind if we come back to it?".

Yes actually I do mind because you NEVER come back it, and you know you are never coming back to it, which is why you asked in the first place. Ergh, We are SO on to you.

15. Or, when you're finally starting to break down the walls, you have that we-are-friends-but-not-really-friends thing going on, it feels like the right time to ask that really personal question you have been avoiding. Oh no cue fun-sponge PR your time is suprisingly up.
16. When you speak to any politican and recieve a response in that weird, waffling, convoluted, jibarish language...

It's like h-e-l-l-o? NO ONE UNDERSTANDS A WORD YOU ARE SAYING.

17. We do these interviews and not being funny, it is nice to walk away with a bit of juicy goss or off-screen action. When you give us absolutely nothing it is really NOT appreciated.

Unless your Sam Claflin who once told us he went pole-dancing with Natalie Dormer in Paris (reason #34,666 why we love the Claflin).

19. "I just feel really blessed to be doing what I am doing"

Please! Save the prayers for the bedroom.

20. Or "My family keep me grounded"

No S**t really?!

21. "Who is your biggest inspiration?" Or "Who would you most like to collaborate with?" When you get the insightful response "There are just so many people..."

Yeah, we know, some names would be nice?

22. "What do you do when you're not working?" "Well, I just chill out at home, see friends and stuff"

Wow thanks, it's like talking to a brick wall all over again... BORING.

23. "Do you think your most famous character would still be with that girl at the end of your most famous movie, now?" to which the actor replies "Hmmm, what do YOU think?"

HA. No one cares about what I think Einstein, this is your bloody junket!

If you too have experienced any hillariously, infuriating interview responses please tweet us at @GlamourMagUK we would love to know we are not alone!
