Nobody handles awkward
interviews quite
like Bruno Mars.
Here are the funniest, most unpredictable
times he completely took over the room.
he walks in the room.
Dang.
Oh, who's your favorite model of all time?
I don't know, Miranda Kerr.
That's good.
You like that?
Yeah, you and I, we're a good team.
The dimples and the wink.
Being asked to perform a traditional Maori
greeting clearly catches him completely off
guard.
I want you to stand again.
Okay.
Just for one minute.
No problem.
Because I'm a Maori boy from New Zealand.
Right on.
And I thought it would be an honor if we could hongi.
Do you know what that is?
Have you done that before?
What's that?
Is that what they do?
I've never done that.
You've never done that?
That kind of creeps me out.
You just go nose to nose.
Nose to nose.
Yeah, you're like this.
Like, I can't do it!
Performing live gets a whole lot more intense
when major celebrities like Beyoncé are sitting in the crowd.
People that go to your shows.
Beyoncé was there, Jay was there, Lenny Kravitz was there.
When you know people like that are in the audience,
does it make you nervous or do you think,
okay, I'm going to show out a little bit?
Both.
Uh-huh.
I know Beyoncé watching me and I just got this feeling
she's just like, what you going to do?
You little jerk, what are you doing?
You know, so I'm out there.
Lenny was in the audience last night, and I'm playing guitar,
and I'm like, yeah, what's up, Lenny?
You see that? You see me?
Hair management is the real reason Bruno Mars
is almost always wearing a hat on camera.
Quick story with you, you're uptown funk.
No, you can't. Next question.
No, move on.
What were you thinking?
How many hats do you own? Because I've
never seen you wear the same hat.
How many hats? I don't know.
Hundreds?
You know what it is? I wish I could just rock
the hair like that, but I don't have the Bon Jovi.
Man don't, yesterday.
What is not Bon Jovi? What are you talking about?
See, I have curly hair.
One curls out of place, I look like a maniac.
So it's easier for me to just throw a hat.
Kind of known, you wear hats all the time, and I'm so-
I let myself go, Ella.
No, I like your hair, I really- Thank you.
And I got you a gift, so I'm kinda glad you're not wearing a hat.
It's impossible to take him seriously
when he starts describing his idea of a tough gangster lifestyle.
You know, love records, and I have that side of me,
but I have this hooligan side of me where, you know, I'm a young man.
Gangsta?
I'm a gangster a little bit.
When you say hooligan, you mean- I don't know what that means.
Hooligans, you know, it's a riff-raff. Troublemaker.
Your trouble's like not using your...
Don't let the looks fool you.
Really?
Were you in a gang or something?
I punch small children.
Now let me give you some advice if you want to become a billionaire.
You don't do that.
Asked about the contestants on the show,
his answer about why he actually showed up is brutally honest.
Can I ask you, off the back of you performing on The X Factor,
have you got a favorite?
I know that's an annoying question,
but did you like anyone in particular that you saw over the weekend?
I'll be honest.
He was competing in the record hall.
Come on, guys.
Let me out.
Quarantine bored him
so much he decided to try
picking up a completely
new technical
skill behind the scenes.
I know you're doing the residency, and someone told me
that you're into technology or you have some new hobby.
What are you doing?
Quarantine.
I'm actually not good with technology at all.
I don't know if you know this, but I direct all my music videos, Ellen.
Yeah, I do know that.
Thank you.
But when it comes to editing, I always have to be with somebody.
I figured I'll take this time during quarantine,
get behind a computer, and learn how to edit so you can save money.
Yeah.
That's as a matter of fact. I edited something.
It's kind of like a tribute to you
He's still single or or is there or again that Sam asking me again Sam.
Listen, I like women. Okay
You're a very nice guy and I love the compliments
and I appreciate it so much
Alright, stop mailing me and stop.
I know you say you're the president of my fan base.
You sick son of a bitch
So no chance of you being Mr. Hernandez
I'm joking Sam. So I'll call you later

Award shows can be stressful,
especially when he starts overthinking what might happen on stage.
If you win, which I got a feeling you might win something tonight,
are you ready for your acceptance speech?
I'm not.
Genuinely not.
Oh, you know, we're performing, so my mind has been in performance.

Long before the multi-platinum hits he co-wrote a song

Being a global pop star comes with a few perks
when it comes to meeting women, and he isn't
shy
to
admit
it.
Mark Ronson details the chaotic lengths he had
to go through just to finish recording Uptown Funk.
I can go meet him, and that's how we got it done.
That's amazing.
And the fact that you wanted to do this,
you told me that you're doing this,
and then you're going to disappear for a while.
I didn't tell you this.
Yeah, he said he's over.
Okay.
Working with Adele in the studio
gave him a first-hand look at how she runs her session.
Adele is the truth, you know.
She claims she comes in the studio,
diva'd out, is exactly what you want.
She knows exactly what she wants to do.
She knows exactly who she is,
and she knows exactly what she wants to feel.
So we're sitting around.
It was old school. I'm on the piano. She's on the couch.
I'm trying to play her something. I keep looking over
to see if there's anything that's, you know, waking her up.
And I play the first two chords on the chorus.
This is my last night with you.
What's up?
Books.
Yeah. I don't know. What is it?
Getting his very first major paycheck led
to a life-changing moment for his family back home.

I got to do this for them.
I always wanted to buy my mom a house.
That was my first big check.
Before I got anything, I had to make sure mom was all right.
