Pretty Sure Jared Leto Fired His Publisist After This Absurd Interview

Jared Leto is excited to introduce Morbius to the world, but he's also super distracted by the tail sported by the vTuber interviewing him in a new clip that went viral from the movie's press tour. Speaking with the Fubuki Shirakami Channel on YouTube, Leto alternated between fairly thoughtful answers about the research and craft that went into playing Michael Morbius, and apparent confusion and awkwardness when dealing with the interviewer's animated avatar.

For the uninitiated, a VTuber is a YouTuber, who uses a virtual avatar generated using computer graphics and real-time motion capture software or technology (that's the Wikipedia definition, which is more concise than what we could come up with). As it was a virtual junket, it seems likely Leto was seeing the Fubuki avatar just as the audience does, rather than seeing an interviewer in performance capture gear.
