CELEBRITY Mindy kaling

As a recent guest on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers,' Mindy Kaling discussed what is it was like to do press tours for her upcoming film 'Oceans 8.' In the film, Kaling plays a jewelry expert, but a reporter seemed to think she wasn't all that knowledgeable.

"In a heist movie, everybody has their special power—that's why Debbie Ocean pulls us together to do this heist," Kaling told Myers. "And so this male interviewer, when we were doing international press, was asking us [about our roles in the film.] Annie [Hathaway], in the movie, she plays an actress, and Sarah Paulson, she's a party promoter in it, and then with me, he was like, 'Mindy, you play a jeweler. Now, you are not married, and have never been engaged, so how do you know about diamonds?' Because it's all about diamonds and stealing diamond necklaces."

Kaling was perplexed how this reporter had the nerve to call out her personal life in regards to her role in the film, especially when the question does not even make sense. Kaling continued, "He was basically like, How, you, a famous spinster? How would you—you’ve never been anywhere near a diamond before. No man has ever—as though if you’re not married and engaged, you’ve never seen a diamond.”
