Letterman Asked Thurman If She Had Dated Someone Much Older Than Her, Suggesting Himself
During an episode of his Late Show, David Letterman made another obnoxious comment, this time to actress Uma Thurman, who was 25 years old at the time. While discussing her film, Letterman shifted the conversation to Thurman’s personal life and asked if she had ever dated someone older than her. Thurman didn’t provide a clear response. Then, he inquired if she had ever dated someone above 30, to which she answered yes. Letterman continued to raise the age limit with the same question until he reached his own age, which was 48 at that time. Awkwardly, Thurman responded with a “no” while giggling.
Letterman further probed into Thurman’s past marriage, asking about its duration and why it ended. Thurman appeared disinterested in answering those personal questions. She simply stated that her marriage lasted nearly a year and that she had learned some things from it. In an abrupt and strange turn, Letterman then commented on how perfect Thurman’s ears were. It was an odd moment.
Thurman giggled in response and redirected the conversation back to her upcoming film, which was set to premiere soon. Letterman complimented her work, describing it as lovely, and Thurman agreed.
It is difficult to comprehend how a 48-year-old man hitting on a 25-year-old woman on national television was seen as funny or acceptable.
Vin Diesel Interrupted An Interview Three Times To Comment On Her Appearance
In 2016, a Brazilian Youtuber named Carol Moriera was interviewing Vin Diesel. She was asking him questions about his acting career and his life as an actor when he suddenly interrupted her by saying, “God, you’re so beautiful.” Carol replied with a polite “thank you” and tried to continue the conversation. However, Vin Diesel didn’t stop there. He started talking to the crew about how pretty Carol was and commented on how difficult it was for him to concentrate on the interview with such a beautiful person in front of him. Carol smiled awkwardly and tried to bring the conversation back to the topic at hand.
Throughout the interview, he repeatedly interrupted Carol and even suggested leaving the stage to have lunch together. Despite Carol’s attempts to steer the interview back on track, Vin Diesel went down on his knees and told her that she was “too f*ing sexy” to do the interview with.
After the whole ordeal, Carol released a statement admitting that she felt extremely uncomfortable during the interview. She mentioned that Vin Diesel constantly interrupted the interview to focus on her appearance. She didn’t know how to react, so she just sat there awkwardly, trying to finish her work. Carol also emphasized that it was not appropriate for him to disrupt her work in that manner.
