The #AskHerMore movement is gaining traction, and we're
loving it. Diane Kruger is the latest star to talk about the lame questions
she's peppered with on the red carpet, and she had an interesting perspective
on why the questions are often so frivolous.
Yahoo Lifestyle UK reporter Poppy Jamie asked Kruger if she
was bored with the questions she was typically asked on the red carpet; without skipping a beat, the Farewell, My
Queen star agreed.
"I'm an actress, I have a job, I have a life. There so
many other things that I think you would ask a man but you wouldn't ask a
woman," Kruger said. She clearly implied that she would much rather be asked about her craft, the
project in question, or the industry in general, and went on to make a salient
point that maybe not a lot of people outside the industry are aware
of.
"A lot of journalists in this industry don't even go to
see the movies. They stand [on] the red carpet, and they don't really know what
this person has done or what they're in, so it makes it a little superficial.
I'm not saying it needs to be super-deep and intense all the time, but it would
be nice, as a woman, to be asked other things," Kruger said.
Red carpet interviews are notoriously terrible. There are shouting crowds, hovering publicists, sweaty
reporters, and uncomfortable shoes for just about everyone involved. It's hard
to have any sort of exchange in the few, palm-sweating minutes you get face to
face with a star like Kruger — but it's certainly worth a try. Fashion is fun and time is of the essence, but let's face it: No one is asking Bradley Cooper what he's wearing or asking to let his fingers do
the walking in the Mani Cam. [Yahoo!]
