Rosie O'Donnell Reveals Her "Worst Interview" With a Surprising A-List Star
Ever wonder who celebrities *don't* love interviewing? Rosie O'Donnell recently spilled the tea on one of her most challenging guests from her iconic talk show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show. Get ready for a surprise!
The Unexpected "Worst" Guest
During a recent appearance on the Australian talk show Sam Pang Tonight, Rosie O'Donnell, the beloved comedian and actress, revealed a surprising name: Keanu Reeves. Yes, you read that right! The star of The Matrix and John Wick fame.
"I love the guy, but he's not good on talk shows," O'Donnell shared, emphasizing her affection for Reeves as a person and actor. "He's so sweet. He looks gorgeous. I love all his movies, but he would not answer a question. I'd say, 'So, Keanu, how's it going? How you feeling?' [He'd say] 'Good.'"
Imagine the pressure of live television! "We were live, we couldn't re-tape," O'Donnell recalled. "I finally said after like three minutes, 'You know Keanu, it is a talk show, you have to talk.'" But she was quick to add, "He did come back and he got the hang of it but he's a lovely man and a good-hearted guy so I don't want to throw him under the bus.” So, no hard feelings then!
Keanu's Confession and Rosie's Favourites
Reeves was on O'Donnell's show back in 1997 to promote his film The Devil's Advocate. Even back then, he admitted on air that he was "not comfortable" with TV appearances. It seems even A-list stars can get camera shy!
So, who *were* Rosie's favorite guests? She named Martin Short and Barbra Streisand as shining examples of great talk show guests. Now *that's* some good company!
More Than Just Talk Shows: Rosie and Trump
O'Donnell, who is currently in Australia performing her one-woman show Common Knowledge, also touched on her strained relationship with Donald Trump, a far cry from their earlier acquaintance. She even attended his wedding to Marla Maples back in 1993, as the plus one of Jason Opshal.
The relationship soured over the years, especially after O'Donnell criticized Trump's stance on a Miss USA contestant during her time on The View.
Rosie's Move and Trump's Reaction
Rosie even moved to Ireland in January 2025, citing concerns about Trump's policies and their potential impact on her family. The saga continues, with Trump even taking to Truth Social to voice his opinions on O'Donnell's citizenship.
