Meg Ryan Reflects on Awkward 2003 Interview

Meg Ryan has opened up about her infamous 2003 interview with Michael Parkinson, recalling it as a 'bad' experience that left her feeling uncomfortable. During the interview, which focused on her poorly reviewed film 'In The Cut', Ryan responded with one-word answers and eventually told Parkinson to 'wrap it up' when he questioned her nudity in the film. She noted that she expected ad breaks typical of American talk shows and was surprised when they did not occur on the BBC. Ryan also expressed her discomfort with fashion commentators who criticized her appearance during the interview. Although Parkinson had previously described Ryan as 'rude and difficult', he later admitted to losing his temper and reflected on how he could have handled the situation better. He passed away in 2021, having apologized to Ryan for his behavior during their encounter.
