The star joked that for publicists, famous clients “are very frustrating” for asking questions like, “ ‘Can we get a plus-18 to that party tonight?’”
Hollywood director and star Taika Waititi jokingly told a roomful of publicists on Friday that celebs are “annoying” and “immature idiots” — while poking fun at his own tabloid-ready escapades.
The New Zealander told a ballroom full of high-powered p.r. folks at the 59th Annual ICG Publicists Awards on Friday when he was honored: “I really like you guys. You guys are helping me out with a lot of s–t. Big thank you. Big thank you!” Carrying on with the kidding , he added, “How did you find me in that hotel? I’ve always wondered that. I never told anyone I was going there… but [you] found me, at 10 in the morning. Incredible! I love you guys. I didn’t want to leave… I didn’t want to leave, [I’m] a little bit angry.”
“I get it, we’re annoying!” he said. “Hollywood is already a city full of immature idiots, and you all are a bunch of hardworking patient parents.”However, “I do need to talk to you about this party I want to get into this weekend. It’s got a good gift bag,” he quipped before Sunday’s Oscars ceremony and attendant parties.
