[GregZthrash]

@jennifercavalleri Penfield :)

[androbuwono]

@jennifercavalleri He wears penfield summit but he put the hoody off, a very nice warm jacket :)

[TheTigerunleashed]

Wait Albarn Damon/Blur/Gorillaz was really that famous Damn thats awsome i knew they were the best of the best

[EuSouRaiz]

im aint a movie star bitch.

[loveandpig]

I think he was looking for something xd.

[leonmateo15]

Why he dont salute Graham Coxon?

[blinkxme]

"How does it feel to be a movie star?" WANKER.

for starters he's not a 'movie star just for having a documentary made about his band. And the rest of it, well I hope that guy feels ridiculous.

[imnotlegalist]

lol I didnt know he was 2ds voice from gorillaz until now

[SuperModelVogue]

lmao @ "MORE GREAT INTERVIEWS"

lol

[4StrawberrySwing2]

he's not being an ass, if you pay attention you see he wanted to get to meet his fans instead of being asked the same questions over and over again.

[Mrsilenciobackgammon]

Now that's how one is polite yet dismissive. Masterful.

[mocafester]

damon is beautiful

[MsRaeRae90]

He just wants to walk away... In whatever direction. Hahaha he's sooo cute!

[REMnut12]

God I love Damon! He's so damn funny. The media must get so frustrated with him. He just doesn't play their game! He was like "fuck this, I'm going over to the people who actually care!"

[mrphilcollins]

What a prick...and i'm talking about the premadonna not the reporter.

[modestrob12]

@mrphilcollins He's not a prick, he has been questioned about everything in his life for the past 15 to 20 years he is tired of answering dumb questions like "Do you guys sit around and listen to old recordings?"

[tanslec2]

@mrphilcollins A premadonna would actually answer all the questions and make themselves seem all big

[bcheeseful]

think damon came off as a bit of a arse there. and all bands should have a listen to their earlier works. hindsight can only improve the music you create in the future.

[IgpayAtinlayUlesray]

0:41 No, because Damon is not a vain MOR singer who enjoys listening to their own music, he is a proper musicain who deserves a decently intelligent music journalist who understands that

[Cameogirl14]

he looks like he really needs to pee!

[rdjlover321]

wow that interviewer is a douche bag. asking ALL the wrong questions, clearly.

[joemani10]

He's a wanker

[pentura]

"How does it feel to be a movie star ?"

"Im not a movie star i'm a musician "

Damon you f**king legend !

[TheVinesMx]

@pentura why does the interviewer asked him that?

Because of Monkey: Journey....?

Oh he's not only a musician, he's an artist.

[pentura]

@TheVinesMx I thnk its because its at the premiere of Blur's movie 'No Distance Left To Run'

[skinner768]

damon is a fucking awesome guy, what a stupid interviewer and random way to waste time in an interview...do u still listen to the old music, what does that make a difference?

[Sebi2109]

i think Albarn has problem to find right way in this case xD

[tsiftis01]

he is so perfect

[Ragingsinep]

WTF?! he walks away, thats fucking funny

[EuchridEucrow1]

LMAO...

[cttccttc]

he's just over it!

[89stec89]

what a legend

[marlene23alfaro]

Damon, in my you have a slave forever, does not import for me the critiques, I love you and your music in all your forms and styles... from valparaíso with love...

[Capuano231]

Where can I get his hat :D

[jwild611]

Damon did stop and answer some questions didn't he? He wasn't being a dick at all, not everyone is always in the mood to answer redundant questions.

[jwild611]

Is Damon growing his hair out? lol

[thebobbseytwins]

@jwild611

Apparently, he was. He's cut is since (thankfully).

[taniaarthur]

how does it feel like to be a movie star?

what a retarded question! did he think he was interviewing paris hilton?

bloody hell.

[StrangeSiliconWorld]

no wonder his was a kind of pissed of :D

[rubyschildren]

haha he tried to leave so many times. i love him :)

[Annika2509]

great man

[deitobi]

omg Damon still soooo beautiful!!!! ♥¬♥!!!!!!!

[cactaceous]

Intelligent people, like Damon, have no time to waste on topics, conversations or questions that seem to have not much thought to them. I love the fact that Damon looks like he can't believe that guy has a job with those kinds of questions. Damon does not need the press to help him with his career, his fan base is very much stable. If I was him I would have walked away after that first question.

[ritter89]

@cactaceous Well put. Have you heard the score/soundtrack that he wrote and performed for the film Ravenous? Brilliant stuff! Supposedly, the sounds and musical ideas he had for the film were so odd and original that he couldn't perform them on conventional instruments. He wound up using antique instruments on loan from the Smithsonian Institute. I'd always enjoyed Blur but after hearing that soundtrack, I developed a new found respect Albarn's composing/writing skills. He's amazingly good

[BaddestJournalism]

@cactaceous Some people are just tring to earn a living... Just because you percive somobody to have less 'intelligence' than you doesn't give you a free pass to ignore them... He could have either said, 'mate I'm in a rush', or have givin him some attention... It's a bit sad the way 28 ppl gave you a tumbs up...

[zoomburger412]

@cactaceous dude it was a joke because its a documentary...if Damon really needed to leave so quickly then he wouldn't have stopped right there. You put him on a pedastal (sp) like he's a better person then everyone else. Plus it's the presses JOB to interview them. No famous musician DOESN'T get interviewed.

[Stormwind187]

@zoomburger412 He was being courteos by stopping to ansewer the questions INSTEAD of walking away like hes better then everyone.

[MrBeetroots]

@cactaceous You are totally right

[wony98kr]

by the way the interviewer asked him really really stupid mention in the first. " how do you feel being a movie star?" oh come on. look at his face how uncomfortable he is when he heard that from him, he said" I am not a movie star. I am just musician" and he tried to walk away. let him go, let him sign more to fans! like he said he is just a guy who has lots of Passion for music. that would be a lot better if more musicians are like him!

[wony98kr]

he is not so nice or kind to the press he might even rude to them which he knows already how to fuck them off...that is why he had very big reputation of arrogance. you know what? I think he is right about the press. give them little bit fake smile and shit. but if you see him other footage, he is so kind and gentle to fans. that is what he suppose to do and smart enough deal with, fuck the press!

[graemetheshellby]

i couldnt agree more. he's there for the fans, not for the press. i dont think there is a problem with the press if they ask sort of halfway intelligent questions, but, how does it feel to be a moviestar?! what was he really expecting asking that question. and "do you guys still sit around and listen to the old stuff?" no musicians do that, the interviewer asked that same question to dave rowntree and he said no as well. twat. the guy wanted to see fans, not interviewers

[clotheshorse4000]

Bit confused about your comments. He was there to publicise his own film, and barely spent any time with the fans that night either. He was drunk too!

[LorcanDMeath]

he's always drunk

[figocooldude]

@clotheshorse4000 He did go to the fans, signed and took pictures, before and after, there are videos up here to prove it.

[clotheshorse4000]

Yes, that's right. As you'll see above, I never sadi he didn't go to the fans at all, but I did say he turned up drunk and didn't spend much time with them.

[louisej124]

Oh fuck sake Damon. Cut your hair and stop being rude. I still love ye though x

[parkinggiraffe]

i love it.

[thexgloommiih]

mah reqoooo !! =P

[hiroshi19720310]

He need someone give him advice what to put on....I love you Damon anyway.

It's a shame that they have no plan to do Blur album....

[CerebalDystrophy]

Can't stand the bloke, love Blur... why should he give us plebs the time of day? After all we only pay his wages and know nothing. concieted, arrogant, judgemental tawt!.... take him to the gallows!

[themanwholefthimself]

yeah, probably Dams hates press and all but he knows thanks to the press most of us can get to know what they're doing or what they're up to. he doesn't bother to connect with his fans but neither allows the press to do their job. totally the opposite to graham, alex and dave.

[birday01]

HAHAHA he tried blowing off the interviewer dude.

ahh man..to be honest I would've been straight up like "NO" as well, and walked off.but not have come back like Damon did.

then again, I guess i'm a douchebag.

[AtomicHarmonica]

eh, leave dames alone. he hate the press and the only reason he came was because he had to.

[clotheshorse4000]

It's his own film that he signed up to and is making money out of - I'm not sure he had to turn up unless he wanted to!

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

I'm kinda more on his side. It's always gonna get to a point where every movement in your life being documented is too much and you just want them to fuck off, leave you alone. Musicians need to be solitary and left alone in order for good music to happen. It's just that other people like the press are impatient and are just suck ups.

[fuzzybuni]

What an ass, seriously. Usually I love Damon but him being so bouncy and wanting to run away is a dick move. Obnoxious.

[haylers47]

well it was quite dickish, but you have to remember how much damon TRULY hates this press shit. THAT is why he's trying to get away.

[SirKnobofCheese]

Buy a fucking hat that fits.

P.S

Blur were a great band
