“He was in a filthy mood”: Triple M’s Gus Worland reveals best and worst celebrities to interview
<p>Triple M radio star Gus Worland is celebrating 10 years on radio as he hosts<span> </span>Moonman in the Morning<span> </span>with Lawrence Mooney and Jess Eva.</p>
<p>After reflecting on his time in radio, he’s revealed which two celebrities were the most disappointing out of the hundreds that he’s interviewed.</p>
<p>Worland spoke to<span> </span><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/radio/triple-ms-gus-worland-reveals-best-and-worst-celebrities-hes-met-during-10-years-on-air/news-story/cd98feb42a885e0161480d8800969afe" target="_blank">news.com.au</a><span> </span>to mark the milestone and reveal which celebrities are the best and worst ones to interview.</p>
<p>“The best, the number one standout, is Hulk Hogan,” he said. “He was actually meant to go to Kyle and Jackie O (who at the time were broadcasting on 2Day FM which is in the same building as Triple M) who were one level above us.</p>
<p>“But the security guy that let him into the building just assumed, ‘Oh, he must be here for Triple M.’</p>
<p>“Hulk Hogan wasn’t going to sit outside the studio and wait, he literally busted through the door when we were halfway through a break and all of a sudden Hulk Hogan was there,” Worland said. “That was a real highlight.”</p>
<p>Other celebrities that were a joy to interview include Rick Astley, Michael Buble and Michael Parkinson.</p>

<p>The worst celebrities include an Aussie motorcyclist and a Hollywood action star.</p>
<p>“The one we disliked the most was Steven Seagal who is the perfect actor for Triple M listeners but he’s always been very difficult,” Worland said.</p>
<p>“Every single time Seagal’s been on he just hasn’t wanted to play or even talk about the reason he’s actually on the show for. I’ve never watched a Seagal movie since. I just look at him now and think, ‘What’s wrong with you, brother?’</p>
<p>“Wayne Gardner (former 500cc Motorcycle World Champion) was a bit of a knob-end too,” the Triple M host said.</p>
<p>“He was in a filthy mood and we wanted to talk about a whole lot of things from motorcycling to V8s and he just didn’t want to play. He gave really short answers and there were no explanations when we asked for a story. We ended up not even airing it.</p>
<p>“When you meet someone that you’ve looked up to and they don’t play ball, it does leave a bit of a sour taste in your mouth,” he added.</p>
