John Cusack was out hawking his new movie, 2012. When he was chatting with Harry Smith on The Early Show, Cusack let an F-bomb slip on live TV.
Smith didn't say a word. He just laughed as if it nothing had happened. And Cusack didn't seem to think he did anything inappropriate for morning TV.
Smith pulled out a page from the New York Post, advertising a DVD for the 20th anniversary of Cusack's movie, Say Anything.
HARRY SMITH: There's an anniversary. You gotta see this. So, we're paging through our New York Post. You probably, you might have missed this page.
JOHN CUSACK: It seems like maybe a Halloween...
SMITH: No, this is better. Look at this. (Holds up ad)
CUSACK: Oh.
SMITH: 20th anniversary DVD.
CUSACK: Yeah.
SMITH: They rate this as like the great love story, the great, the man saying, 'I'm laying it all out there for you, babe.'
CUSACK: Yeah, I guess now it would be like an iPod, right?
SMITH: Not a boom box. Does it seem like 20 years ago already?
CUSACK: Um, some mornings, yeah. I f---ing feel a little bit, a little older than others. But I'm always, I'm amazed that people still remember the movie. But it was a really fun time in my life and I was proud of the movie and loved it. So it's a nice, it's a nice thing that people remember something you did.
Video.
It's kind of weird that CBS would post the unedited video on YouTube. The network apparently doesn't have a problem with the interview and breaking FCC rules.
Cusack is no rookie when it comes to promoting his films on TV.
I don't know how one drops the F-bomb unintentionally in a situation like an interview on a morning show.
It seems like a stunt to me. Nothing like a YouTube moment to draw attention to Cusack and his new movie.
