Indeed, for me it's like looking directly at a clickbait mechanism: Out of the 40-ish question on the interview, they decided to cherry pick the 5 that were about politics and current affair. Not...

Not that it's not important, but the interview was more about the book he just published, and his career and life in general.
At least they had the decency to directly link to it.

100%. Also, if you haven't seed The Intouchables it's a phenomenal film.
