Just when we were getting over the rudeness of the anchors who asked Cara Delevingne demeaning questions in a Paper Towns interview, there’s another celebrity interview that makes us want to facepalm.
This time, three of the stars of Fantastic Four were fielding uncomfortable questions, courtesy of Rock 100.5 Morning Show in Atlanta radio host Steven J. Rickman. The awkwardness begins when he asks Michael B. Jordan (Johnny Storm/Human Torch) and Kate Mara (Susan Storm/Invisible Woman) what he thought was an “obvious” question: how could their characters be siblings?
Am I missing something? You’re white and you’re black. How does that happen?
Jordan handled the question like a pro, pointing out that race doesn’t determine what makes a family.
They could be raised as brother and sister. There’s a whole bunch of family dynamics that could be without the ‘obvious adoption.’
The conversation took another sharp turn when Rickman became seemingly obsessed with Mara’s appearance—particularly in relation to her hair. He questioned the actress on why she cut her hair short, commenting that “the long hair was excellent.” Mara also replied with class.
I’m sorry. I know you don’t like it. I can tell…I cut my hair for a movie I just did. They asked me to. I’m an actress. I have to be a chameleon.
Rickman continued to comment on her hair until the interview wrapped.
Watch the entire uncomfortable exchange, with awkward glances and all, below.

Who do we have to talk to in order to get this d-bag fired?
