Sunrise correspondent leaves actress Rose Byrne speechless during awkward interview

Australian actress and Hollywood heavyweight Rose Byrne has done her fair share of interviews and press junkets in her time to promote her latest shows and films. 

And it seems that Rose had one of her most awkward interviews yet this week, when she chatted to Sunrise’s UK showbiz correspondent Steve Hargrave for her new Apple TV+ show, Physical. 

The 41-year-old star was left a little speechless and taken aback when British personality Steve put on some eighties-style activewear and did a bit of routine to an Olivia Newton-John song.

Steve first surprised Rose by saying he wanted to ‘try out a few moves’ and bopped away to Olivia Newton-John’s 1981 hit, Physical, while chatting to Rose via video link.

Rose soon politely went along with the awkward moment and commended him, saying: ‘I like that, it’s very London High Street, it’s very cool, very hip. The eighties is back.’

Steve then quipped: ‘Hip is one word for it, I’m sure some people have some other words you can’t use on breakfast TV.’

Afterwards, Steve remarked that Rose probably didn’t take the joke all that well. 

‘I felt great after that interview, I think Rose Byrne probably less so in fairness,’ he said with a laugh.

He added: ‘She had no agreement about that exercise session.’

Sunrise hosts David ‘Kochie’ Koch and Natalie Barr laughed awkwardly and Kochie admitted to Steve: ‘I’m not sure she got your sense of humour though, Steve.’

Natalie added: ‘No, I don’t think she liked you too much, some people get it and some have that “what the?” look the whole interview… But we liked it.’ 

Rose is returning to the small screen, this time for the forthcoming Apple TV+ series Physical, in which she plays tortured housewife-turned aerobics guru Sheila. 

Physical also stars Rory Scovel, Dierdre Friel, Della Saba, Lou Taylor Pucci, Paul Sparks and Ashley Liao.

Meanwhile, the Australian actress has been cast as New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in the upcoming film, They Are Us. 

Fans will see a different side of the Bridesmaids star as she plays the political leader in the wake of the tragic 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings. 

At the time, Ms Ardern was commended for her response to the two consecutive mass shootings. The terrorist attack was carried out by gunman Brenton Tarrant who killed 51 people.

The film will be directed by New Zealander Andrew Niccol, who has also worked on award-winning films like The Truman Show and Gattaca.

‘They Are Us is not so much about the attack but the response to the attack…how an unprecedented act of hate was overcome by an outpouring of love and support,’ Andrew told The Hollywood Reporter.

‘The film addresses our common humanity, which is why I think it will speak to people around the world. It is an example of how we should respond when there’s an attack on our fellow human beings.’
