John Krasinski’s Awkward Encounter with TikTok Interviewer

TikTok star Kate Mackz’s short interview with John Krasinski is gaining widespread attention after the actor awkwardly dismissed her.

Katie Mackz, also known as ‘The Running Interviewer,’ is a content creator on TikTok with a unique niche. Through her videos, she approaches individuals on the streets while wearing sneakers and asks them, “Hey, how many miles are you running today?”

Despite their response, she persuades them to accompany her for a run by tempting them with incentives such as new sneakers, treating them to a meal, or other suitable rewards specific to the circumstance.

A majority of them are well-known figures, and they typically comply when the TikToker poses her signature question. In a popular video featuring Jason Derulo, he stated that he had no intentions of running any distance, but then he was challenged to run a mile with Mackz and given a pair of sneakers.

Despite the fact that the majority of individuals featured in her videos comprehend the task, there are a handful of instances where this is not the case. During a premiere for John Krasinski’s latest film ‘IF,’ it was evident that the actor was unfamiliar with Mackz’s style when she approached him.
