In a recent incident, an Australian woman found herself in an awkward situation when she unknowingly interviewed one of Australia's most famous men, Hollywood director Baz Luhrmann.
Woman was in awkward moment after interviewing a superstar without knowing who he is
The encounter took place on the streets of Newtown in Sydney, where Georgia Godworth, a TikTok star, approached a man wearing a green leather shirt for an impromptu interview about dating.
However, she didn't know that she was speaking with the famous director behind blockbusters like "Moulin Rouge," "Romeo + Juliet," and "The Great Gatsby."
After posting the video on TikTok, Godworth realized her blunder and expressed her humiliation.
Despite the awkwardness of the situation, Baz Luhrmann, the famous Australian director, handled it with ease and appeared to enjoy the unique interview.
In the video, he even gave advice on lighting to the cameraman, injecting some humor into the encounter.
Throughout their conversation, Luhrmann opened up about his long-lasting marriage of 27 years with Catherine Martin, an award-winning costume designer.
He emphasized the significance of being true to oneself and accepting each other in a relationship.
'During that journey of marriage, the person I'm married to and I found our own really genuine and authentic concept of what our contract to each other should be,' he told Godworth of their unique union,' he said.
Luhrmann and Martin are considered one of Hollywood's most successful couples, having collaborated on multiple projects throughout their marriage.
However, recent reports suggest that they have been living separate lives.
Despite this, Luhrmann was spotted enjoying Taylor Swift's concert in Sydney earlier this year, dancing and having a great time with other celebrities, although his wife was notably absent.
In a recent interview with Wish magazine, Catherine Martin, the costume designer who won an Oscar, talked about her relationship with her husband, Baz Luhrmann.
They sometimes have to spend time apart because Luhrmann works in New York, while Martin stays at their beachside home on the Gold Coast. They make sure to talk on the phone regularly.
During one of her walks, she called Luhrmann, who was in New York, and they both admired the different weather.
There were rumors that Luhrmann and Martin were splitting up, but Luhrmann confirmed that they are still very much in love.
They recently experienced a change in their lives when their children, Lilly (20) and William (18), moved out of the family home.
As a result, they decided to sell their townhouse in New York for $28 million and move to a smaller home in Australia as empty nesters.
The interview captured the public's divided opinions
While some viewers criticized Godworth for her ignorance of Luhrmann's identity, others came to her defense, pointing out that it's possible to know someone's work without recognizing their face.
There are a lot of " celebrities " out there. We know names of them but don't always know their looks. The fact is what they look like in " reel" life versus what they look like in reality are 2 different looks, one user said.
I thought that was Richard Gere, the second user said.
I’ve heard his name before but couldn’t tell u what his job is. I would just know he’s a Hollywood type, the third user commented.
Baz Luhrmann doesn’t even recognise Baz Luhrmann, the thing about famous directors is that we’re more used to seeing their names at the beginning and end of films but their faces are generally seen nowhere, another wrote.
