So, if you're up on your frivolous and unimportant news, yesterday you would have seen an interview with Good Morning Sacramento (GMS) and Cara Delevingne while she was promoting her movie Paper Town. I'm not Cara's biggest fan seeing as her face
pretty much saturated the market last year and frankly I just got bored of
her, however I have seen a more appealing side to her recently. She seems to be rather good at being normal, Instagraming a video of
herself falling over as a case in point. So I'm all up for forming a second
opinion and I got the chance when I saw said interview.
Yeeeah, didn't start well did it? The time delay between Sacramento and New York obviously didn't help the flow, but equally neither did the interviewer getting her name wrong. Carla? Seriously if you don't know who you're interviewing at least read the fact sheet you should have been given!
True, Delevingne wasn't exactly a bubbling mass of energy but seeing as a) it was the morning and b) she did say she had been to a Paper Towns premier the night before, this allows for at least a little lethargy on her part doesn't it? And if your interviewee is a little unresponsive isn't it then your role as a professional host/news anchor to encourage and put the subject at ease? Thereby getting the best from your guest and ensuring the rest of the time is more comfortable, right? Apparently not if you're the hosts of GMS.
They decided to ask stupid questions like 'Does being busy make it easier to focus' (eh?) and patronising questions like whether she got a chance to read the book in the first place.

Zach Braff knows this to be bad form. |
Then when her humour didn't come across that well they hassled her about not being into the interview. As she still wouldn't bite they resorted to getting rather catty and suggested she go
have a nap and get some red bull, finishing the whole thing off by bitching behind
her back when she had gone
- All wildly unprofessional.
While Cara's performance wasn't particularly sparkling its the sheer playground tactics employed by the GMS team when things didn't go their way that I disliked. So I'm team Delevingne all the way.
In case you didn't see it, here's the interview What do you think?
