Benicio del Toro Kelly Clarkson bathtub interview : Kelly Clarkson Playfully Scolds Audience After Benicio del Toro Bathtub Scene Gets Too Suggestive
Benicio del Toro Kelly Clarkson bathtub interview : Benicio del Toro had no idea his bathtub confession would spark one of the most hilarious — and awkward — moments on The Kelly Clarkson Show. The Oscar-winning actor joined Kelly Clarkson to promote his latest film, The Phoenician Scheme, and while the interview began on a classy note, it took a quick turn into suggestive territory… thanks to a completely unintentional innuendo.
Del Toro, 58, appeared on the June 6 episode to talk about his role as Zsa-Zsa Korda, a wealthy eccentric who names his daughter — a nun — as the heir to his massive estate in Wes Anderson’s new quirky drama. While the film itself is creating plenty of buzz, it was a behind-the-scenes bathtub scene that stole the spotlight on live TV.

As del Toro described filming submerged in water for hours, he joked, “You get so into trying to figure out the riddle of getting it right that you just forget, and then the next day you’re all crinkly like a prune.”
That’s when Clarkson innocently asked, “How do you not look like a prune by hour one?”
Del Toro calmly replied, “You get a good hair and makeup person to take care of it,” but the room was already bubbling with laughter.
Then came the accidental double entendre. Clarkson commented on the difficulty of maintaining continuity in scenes like that and blurted, “Yeah, continuity… must have been real hard in that area, yes.”
The room erupted.
It only took a split second for Clarkson to realize how her words could be taken the wrong way. She jumped up, hands in the air, mortified but laughing, and scolded her audience with the kind of charm only Kelly can pull off.
“No, no, no!” she shouted. “I did not mean… I am way too tired. I did not even mean that. I meant you’re pruny. Nasty people!”

Social media users couldn’t get enough of the chemistry between the two stars, with one fan tweeting, “Kelly Clarkson + Benicio del Toro = comedy gold.”
Another wrote, “Kelly’s reaction is so real. That’s what happens when you talk to Benicio in a deep voice about bathtubs at 10 a.m.”
Whether it was exhaustion or just a perfectly timed slip, the exchange has given The Kelly Clarkson Show one of its funniest clips in recent memory — and reminded everyone that sometimes, the best moments are the ones you don’t plan for.
