Celebrity Interviews
The Celebrity Interview Playbook: 8 Pro Tips for a Smooth Conversation

As a journalist, I’ve had the privilege of interviewing a wide array of high-profile individuals—from explorers like Don Walsh and Sally Ride, to athletes like Martina Navratilova and Sir Roger Bannister, to scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson. Over three decades of these interviews, I’ve learned a few key principles. First, always do your research but avoid diving into trivia. Keep your tone humble and respectful, especially with icons. Never make the interview about you—let the focus remain on your guest. If a source isn’t answering your question directly, let them continue if the conversation is still engaging. Stay flexible with your questions, prepare more than you think you’ll need, and if you're in awe of the person you're interviewing, keep your cool. Humor helps break the ice, but save tough questions for the end to avoid putting your guest on the defensive.

Momo, a content creator, gained attention on TikTok after sharing her grandmother’s ageless beauty, prompting followers to ask about her skincare routine. The grandmother’s simple yet effective approach to skincare highlights the importance of maintaining healthy practices as we age. In a candid TikTok video, she revealed her straightforward routine: washing her face with soap and using Vaseline around her eyes before bed. “Until recently, I only used soap and water,” she said. “But I’ve discovered a Moroccan scrub with little beads, and every night I dab a bit of Vaseline under my eyes and on my eyebrows—the moisture is amazing.”

Experts note that skin aging, including wrinkles and sagging, is influenced by both genetics and environmental factors. While diet and exercise are crucial for overall health, research suggests that skincare practices can also impact how skin ages over time.

The Thing with Feathers’ Review: A Literal Journey of Grief with Benedict Cumberbatch and an Enormous Crow

In The Thing with Feathers, Benedict Cumberbatch portrays a London graphic novel creator who unexpectedly becomes a widower after his wife suddenly collapses and dies. In an early scene, he attempts to maintain a sense of normalcy while preparing breakfast for his two young sons, but it quickly unravels. He struggles to manage the chaos, burning the toast and desperately trying to scrape off the charred bits—a futile attempt.

The character, unnamed and simply credited as "Dad," has already shown the weight of his grief, sitting on the couch after the funeral, tears slowly streaming down his face. When Cumberbatch portrays moments like these, it’s not just about tears; he acts through every single one, conveying the depth of this father's anguish and the overwhelming emptiness that comes with it.
