I'm glad he walked out of that interview.

Exactly. Even I was getting frustrated. That "bye" was the right thing to say.

This interviewer has had previous clashes with others. He had an interview with Quentin Tarantino that was fairly awkward as well. RDJ was much more polite about it than Quentin was. You think the journalist knows that if he keeps these types of interviews up, he is going to have a bad reputation.

Some journalists think any reputation is better than none.

I'm glad Robert showed some class, that interviewer was definitely out of line to ask questions that had nothing to do with the movie. The interview was supposed to be about Avengers Age of Ultron, since it comes out in a week, not about RDJ's previous drug addiction/incarceration that was more than 10 years ago.

Yeah, he's actually pretty open about his past; when it's topical. This time it wasn't. The reporter's job was to cover a press tour, not try to be the next Diane Sawyer.

When there's no more room on the internet, the dumb will walk the earth.

Unfortunately, that follows along the lines of every career.

Actually Krisnan Guru-Murthy is pretty well respected as a journalist/presenter, he just realises that the promo tour is a bunch of mindless five minute interviews where the same answers are repeated ad infinitum. Channel four news has always been a little edgier and as such I imagine they just think "fvck it, why bother with another vanilla, cookie cutter interview" - surely the whole point of a journalist is to ask challenging questions rather than just play the sycophant.
