ITV This Morning viewers left feeling ‘embarrassed’ for Demi Moore during ‘cringeworthy’ interview: ‘I can’t watch’
This Morning viewers were left “cringing” on behalf of Demi Moore and her co-stars during an interview for their new Paramount+ series Landman.
Moore, John Hamm, Billy Bob Thronton and Ali Larter were sat on the blue sofa excited to discuss their latest roles in the Texas-based series.
As per usual, Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary introduced what was coming up on the show, with the former revealing that “Jukebox Friday” was back.
Trying to get the celebrities involved, they asked each of them which song they had chosen, but it quickly went down like a lead balloon as they didn’t have Larter or Thornton’s song.
O’Leary quickly branded them the “naughty guests” before Hammond offered to sing Dolly Parton, 9 to 5, after Moore requested it.
After showcasing what else viewers could look forward to, it was time for them to speak to the actors, but Hammond was quickly left red-faced.
Once again introducing them, Hammond confidently expressed: “Billy Rob Thornton” and quickly realised her error before correcting herself – she added: “I am so sorry.”
The For The Love of Dogs presenter attempted to hide behind O’Leary, but he quipped: “You can’t hide.”
As the interview came to an end, it was time for Spin to Win and as Thornton rose from the sofa, Hammond turned to Moore and asked if she was coming up – but was ignored as she stayed perched on the sofa.
Hammond placed Thornton in his place, leaving the 69-year-old looking awkward and unsure of what he was doing.
The rest of Thornton’s co-stars watched on looking equally as confused as to the chaos which was playing out in front of them.
After winning the caller £1,000, Hammond went in for a hug with Thornton, before saying goodbye to the actors after their 30-minute appearance.
Throughout their interview viewers were left “cringing” over the “chaos” and took to their X account to slam the presenters.
One slammed: “Even the Hollywood actors are thinking: ‘WTF is this s**t?’.”
“That whole interview was awkward. British humour doesn’t always translate,” another said before a third penned: “I don’t even have the sound on and this is tedious.”
Another fumed: “This is one of the worst starts to a show ever, can it get any more cringe with all the a**e licking going on?”

“How embarrassing!” a fifth quipped, as another noted: “Demi Moore looks so embarrassed to be part of this… it’s so cringeworthy.” (sic)
The synopsis for Landman reads: “In the heart of Texas, roughnecks and billionaires try to get rich quick in the oil industry; Tommy Norris, a struggling executive, tries to take his company to the top during the fuel boom.”
