#14: Shut It Down
Hey, it’s our guy Krishnan Guru-Murthy again! In addition to ticking off Robert Downey Jr, Krishnan has also upset Quentin Tarantino in an interview. When he asked Quentin about the possibility that violence on-screen could be linked to violence in real life, the famous director refused to answer. He even told Krishnan, “I’m shutting your butt down.” Dang.
Quentin did give a valid reason for not answering the question, though. He explained that he had already answered that question in many interviews over the years, so there was no need for him to give Channel 4 News a sound bite to boost their ratings. Krishnan was able to keep the interview going after that speed bump and pivoted to another question.
