Succession star speaks out after botched The Project interview: 'Weird'

Succession star Nicholas Braun has spoken out about being cut-off mid-sentence on The Project, calling the interview faux pas 'weird'.

Nicholas, who plays cousin Greg on the Binge series, appeared on the Channel 10 show on Sunday night to promote the new season of Succession. However, the interview ended abruptly after just a few minutes.

Nicholas was cut short by the panel in the middle of a story, just so they could go to ads and return with an interview with new I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant, Kerri-Anne Kennerley.

“I had this guy yelling in my ear saying it was a minute left and all this stuff then they asked me to tell the story about Quentin Tarantino,” Nicholas told The Daily Telegraph about the interview.

“I must have had only like 20 seconds left. I was set up to just yell the end.”

“I think I managed to finish the story. I just wish I had a few more minutes or it was in person. Next time maybe I can do it on the desk or read some news."

The Project panellist Jan Fran kicked off the questioning at the end of Nicholas' interview on the show, asking him: “You’re a bit ballsier than cousin Greg. We heard that there’s a story between you and Quentin Tarantino on a plane. Can you tell us what happened?”.

Nicholas launched into his story like they’d asked, saying he met the superstar film director when he was about 21 years old and had just made a Disney Channel movie, which was advertised in ‘teeny bopper magazines’.

“So I saw Quentin and he was in first class and I walked past him. And when I got to my seat I was like, ‘I have to do something, I have to say something to Quentin’,” Nicholas said.

“So I ripped the ad off the back of the magazine and I brought it to Quentin and I was like ‘Hi Quentin, you don’t know me but this is me here on this ad’.”

Nicholas went on to try and explain the rest of his story, however, Sarah Harris awkwardly interrupted him, saying “we’re running out of time”.

The Hollywood actor was undeterred, telling Sarah: "I know we’ll wrap it up, it’s a very important story”.

Sarah could be heard anxiously laughing in the background saying “we’ve got to go” before Nicholas ended his story abruptly.

“Great to join you guys, so fun. I’ll see you in person next time,” the A-lister graciously told the panel.

The show then cut to the ads before returning and running a pre-recorded interview with Kerri-Anne Kennerley, who chatted at length about going into the South African jungle.

Succession fans were left less than impressed online, with one person writing: “Bloody Channel 10 playing a like minute advert but had to cut off Nicholas Braun during his interview.”

Another agreed, saying: “When TV presenters think they're the stars... Cut him off.”

“Really a cut off?! Aw, man. Let me guess they want to promote more I'm A Celeb/KAK interview in this last part of the show bc cross promotion,” another viewer said.
