CBS Mornings host Gayle King recently interviewed actor Morris Chestnut, sparking online debate about her interview style. Chestnut, promoting his new CBS series “Watson,” has been making the rounds on talk shows. King interviewed him for both CBS Mornings and Oprah Today.
A clip from the Oprah Today interview, shared on Instagram, showed King reading tweets about Chestnut’s enduring attractiveness. She highlighted comments calling him “’90s fine” and a “masterpiece,” emphasizing how fans believe he’s aged gracefully.
While some found the comments humorous, others criticized King online. Some felt she objectified Chestnut, calling the interview “awkward” and “weird.”
One commenter questioned the appropriateness of reading such comments directly to him, suggesting it crossed a line from compliment to discomfort. Another critic felt King’s behavior with male interviewees is consistently inappropriate.
Weeks prior, King had also interviewed Chestnut on CBS Mornings alongside Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson. She briefly touched on his attractiveness then, expressing interest in his skincare routine before the segment ended.
Chestnut, 56, has previously discussed his fitness and diet regimen. He admits to occasional indulgences but adheres to a strict diet and exercise plan when preparing for roles.
This involves early morning workouts, plenty of water, and a clean diet featuring oatmeal, egg whites, broccoli, and lean protein sources. He credits consistency and discipline for his physique, which many believe makes him look younger than his age.
