Press junkets can be rather ho-hum, routine affairs for the stars promoting the films and the members of the media who interview them, as actors attempt to put a new spin on their 100th answer to questions such as, “So what attracted you to this project?” and “What was it like working with so-and-so?”
With that in mind, the filmmakers and actors plugging the new big-screen thriller “Nerve” decided to shake things up by making like Ashton Kutcher and punking the journalists at the junket.

Check out the resulting bizarro interview, in which Roberts says, “Mmm, that feels good,” with Franco responding, “That’s the stuff,” as the confused journalists wonder what the heck is going on — and attempt to continue asking questions as the actors’ behaviour becomes increasingly weird.
