There was confusion on Good Morning Britain as host Ranvir Singh put a ‘bizarre’ question to Jason Manford... ‘As far as interview questions go that must be right up there as one of the most ridiculous,’ one viewer said.
But the conversation got derailed slightly as Ranvir asked if Jason’s character was a ‘friend of Dorothy,’ and then clarified she meant if the lion was actuallyA visibly baffled Jason stuttered over his words as he said: ‘Er, I don’t think… he’s a friend of Dorothy, which is a now used as a phrase, what gay people use to describe themselves.
Later, as the interview wrapped up and the GMB hosts reminded viewers that Jason was appearing in The Wizard of Oz, Jason jumped in: ‘As a gay lion, apparently.’While the friend of Dorothy phrase is well-known if not a bit outdated, Good Morning Britain viewers were genuinely perplexed at why Ranvir had gone for that question, with more than one labelling it ‘bizarre.
‘As far as interview questions go that must be right up there as one of the most ridiculous,’ one said.The star-studded cast sees the likes of Jason, Ashley Banjo and Dianne Pilkington follow the yellow brick road Jason stars as the Cowardly Lion in the production at the London Palladium, while Ashley Banjo plays the Tin Man and Gary Wilmot as the Scarecrow; Dianne Pilkington takes the starring role of Dorothy.
