Celebrity interviews can be very interesting. It is one of the rare opportunities in which everyone gets to see their favorite celebrity venture beyond their characters on TV, in films, or in front of an audience.

In the best-case scenario, the topics that are discussed humanize these celebs, and in turn, they can inspire the crowds. Even if we should look at it from the worst standpoint, it can spark public shock or outrage.

For instance, people were stunned when Vin Diesel interrupted a reporter back in 2016 only to tell her she was "f**king sexy." Or was it Katie Couric who was called out in 2014 for trying to obtain information about a transgender model's "private parts" on national television?

However, a few older interviews that have since been considered unsuitable weren't given a negative response when they were broadcast initially. But then again, that doesn’t stop us from giving you some juicy celebrity interview content today.

There’s Harry Belafonte and Tony Goldwyn, who fell asleep during their interview. There’s Burt Reynolds, who threw his drink on Marc Summers after Marc mocked Burt's divorce from Jay Leno.

The list goes on and on, but I’ll pause it right here and let you view these celebrity interviews that went totally crazy.
