It took a certain kind of spirit and personality to really get and appreciate 'The little Aussie bleeder' Norman Gunston, and Boy George didn't quite have it. Took it all and himself a little too seriously. One of the few Americans celebs who did get it, and one of this best ever interviews, was Sally Struthers, she found him utterly hilarious!
Yeah he did. You can't fool the British , the inventors of wit. Boy George wasn't having any of it so Norman's humor fell flat. In desperation , he became offensive and asked if George was a poofter 😒
Not up on my British history, but I know in my heart that Princess Diane would love him and not judge n would be more than thrilled to have her picture taken with.him! That's SO her, which makes her one of a kind! God bless HER n screw the entire outta date monarcy system....
lol, George certainly didn't get the humour there. I think he would of got him today, doesn't seem so up himself now. Wasn't one of Norman's best interviews but Boy George's pensiveness did not make it easy for him at all.
George not understanding Norman had nothing to do with him being “up himself”. Normans style isn’t for everyone. Certain celebrities prefer normal interviews. But I do agree George would react differently now
You don’t know that. I think George was just playing along we’ll never know. Just because you’re familiar with Norman doesn’t mean George was at the time. If George knew he was an actor, he would’ve reacted differently. As far as “not taking a joke”, we literally have no right to tell others how to feel
Not really that early....this was well after his ABC series had ended and before his ill fated return on Seven. I'm not sure he was at his usual Norman best here.....but he still had the 'awkward' down pat.
There 'secret' of these interviews, is that the interviewee was 'warned' beforehand that Gunston was a character. The credit is that they (George) were able to play-along. Good on them.
That’s just your theory. George could’ve been playing along for all we know. But in all fairness majority of celebrity interviews aren’t like this. Ppl like Norman isn’t for everyone. Maybe George never met him before and didn’t know he was just acting. I was just as confused as George until I googled Norman. So does that mean I was too serious too? It’s all about familiarity
