Amelia Dimoldenberg has become the queen of cringe, and for good reason. Journalist and comedian who has made a name for herself doing grimace interviews and awkward dating with musicians and celebrities on her YouTube series, Chicken shop day. Now, she’s back on everyone’s mind as several interviews shared between her and actor Andrew Garfield, have gained the internet’s attention. For me, I’m obsessed with interviews, but they also demonstrate why Dimoldenberg and her unique voice make her one of the most exciting prospects to watch.
The the first interview is now archived about how viral the internet took place at the 2023 Oscars, where Dimolenberg played the role of official red carpet presenter. When he met Garfield at the scene, he began the conversation with a completely admiring greeting, “I just want to see you,” then he corrected, “I only want to see you under circumstances like like this. situation.” During the conversation, the two exchange back and forth about each other’s zodiac compatibility. Wheezing and giggling, both barely getting a single byte of coherent sound—it’s adorable and cute and everything you’d want in an Andrew Garfield moment.
After that clip went viral, fans quickly realized that this wasn’t the only cute interaction between the two. In another interview between her and Garfield, we see her seducing the actor in perhaps the least possible way: by talking about his underarm odor. During the interview, Dimoldenberg and Garfield share interesting things, but after some buzz around them, she tells Garfield that he is special because of his armpits, probably related to his GQ shoot he. Garfield questioned her decision to bring it up, but Dimoldenberg insisted, “No, I think it’s my favorite image.” Then Garfield replied, “Really?” and she said, “That’s my phone wallpaper.” He said, “I don’t know what that says about you.” But she just said back, “You look hot!”
Fans have begun projecting their own stories into the clips, saying there might be some kind of budding romance between the two or that the interactions are inherently romantic. Of course, when we look at these posts rushed into one of our many endless social media feeds, all we see is the flirting part. What’s less often seen is that this moment is actually the culmination of the carefully honed interviewing voices that Dimoldenberg has worked on over the years on series like Chicken shop day.
In Chicken shop day Dimoldenberg dates someone — such as an actor or musician — and asks them questions. It was a half-day interview and Dimoldenberg played the part of the awkward first meeting perfectly. Interviews are like an uncomfortable conversation between teenagers who may or may not know different social cues. Her golden content is when she will lean on her perhaps scariest moments and give interviews Subject sings an old rap and writes poorly or maybe admit Daniel Kaluuya’s deal with her liking him without directly telling him that she likes him.
This is the voice and background she brings to red carpet interviews like with Garfield. And it works! As I watched her flirt with Garfield, I blushed and giggled as I watched them talk. That’s great, and it proves that after years of doing this, that whole clumsy really shines through, and it brought us one of our favorite celebrity moments of the year. year 2023.
