Andrew Denton’s least favourite celebrity guest on Enough Rope
Andrew Denton’s Enough Rope was an iconic show. Running from 2003 to 2008, this ABC program saw Denton get up close and personal with some of the world’s biggest stars.
But that doesn’t mean every interview went to plan.
Speaking with 97.3’s Bianca, Terry & Bob ahead of the premiere of his new Channel Seven program, Interview, with will hit our screens tonight, Denton has shared the identity of his least favourite guest on the famous program.
“Maybe she was having a really bad day and it was via satellite, but she was so bad and so unpleasant actually that we never even put it to air,” Denton said before revealing the identity, “it was Goldie Hawn.”
“I went to interview him and as the interview went on it got darker and darker and there was this clear self-hatred coming out, none of which I had had a clue about from all my research.
“I remember driving away from that interview and saying to my producer, ‘I’m paid to do this for a living but I have no idea what just happened there.’
“I think we know why there was such self-hatred, but at the time who could have guessed?”
The first episode of Interview will see Denton interview swimming sisters Cate and Bronte Campbell and Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant.
