Here's a few pictures my sister took during the interview. I was seated dead center directly across from Chris in quite possibly the best seat in the house! Here's a few highlights:
- Chris found the room setup to be awkward. As if interviews still make him uncomfortable. I cant believe he still get's squirmy after all these years of being in the spotlight.
- During the interview Chris was checking his iPhone and when he was putting it back into his pocket, he noticed there was a credit card lodged in between the couch cushion and the wall of the chair. I watched him check out the card for a few seconds and finally he mentioned the card on the interview. He handed the card to one of the security guards. This is where my joke came into play during my question when he mentioned my phone on the floor and I told him not to take it like the credit card. Chris thought it was hilarious and so did the crowd.
- During one of the breaks, Jonny, Will, and Guy got up to use the bathroom and Chris stayed behind and spoke with us off the air about whatever we wanted.
-Chris is extremely witty and he looks for every opportunity to insert a joke. Usually it's something that has to do with making fun of himself or the band. I think this shows just how grounded they are and how they truly feel like they are just normal people and have so much more to accomplish.
- Will had the initials "CK" on the tounge his shoes. They aren't into brands so I was pretty sure it wasn't Calvin Klein. I noticed Chris had the same CK on his t shirt on SNL this week. I wish I would have asked will what that meant.
- At about the last 2 questions, you could tell Chris and the guys were drained from the interrogation they had just received. I dont think they are used to answering such deep questions and mostly have to answer the dreaded "what does MX mean?"
Anyway, here's a few pictures to share, enjoy!
