by Stephanie SoteriouBuzzFeedBuzzFeed Staff An awkward clip of actor Mckenna Grace being interviewed by a reporter who clearly has absolutely no idea who she is has resurfaced online, and people are genuinely stunned by it. Olivia Wong / Getty Images In case you didn't know, Mckenna, now 19, has been acting since she was 5 years old, starring in commercials before landing her first TV role in the Disney XD series Crash & Bernstein in 2012 at age 6, which she starred in until 2014. Craig Sjodin / Getty Images She continued to act throughout her childhood, and has dozens of impressive credits to her name, including roles in shows like Once Upon A Time, Fuller House, and Young Sheldon, and movies including I, Tonya, Ready Player One, and Annabelle Comes Home.

Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection / Everett Collection Mckenna played Izzy Brooks in the movie, but one reporter seemingly didn't get that memo, as they were stumped by her presence at the Hollywood premiere of the film in September 2016. Jb Lacroix / Getty Images The journalist from Red Carpet Report is barely identifiable in the awkward video, which begins with her asking a young Mckenna: "Were you able to be on set often?" Red Carpet Report / Via x.com Visibly confused, Mckenna asked: "What?" to which the journalist repeated: "Were you able to go on set and see Mom work?" Red Carpet Report / Via x.com "My mom?" Mckenna queried, bewildered. "Oh... She doesn't work in the movies..." Red Carpet Report / Via x.com "Oh, well, what were you... Tell me a little more about what you were doing then?" the reporter follows up, prompting an awkward chuckle from Mckenna, who answers with a shrug: "I was doing acting." Red Carpet Report / Via x.com Needless to say, the seriously uncomfortable clip has caused a stir after somebody shared it to X on Tuesday alongside the caption: "imagine asking mckenna grace what she was doing on set ðŸ˜," and this tweet has already been seen more than 7.7 million times and racked up over 100,000 likes. Variety / Getty Images "not the kidsogyny," one person joked in the replies, and another quipped: "LMFAO she said 'bitch my job??'" Red Carpet Report / Via x.com "i would have quit journalism if i got humbled by a 6 year old ngl," another popular quote-tweet adds, while another observed: "the funniest part of this is this isn't her being a kid who's sassy or showing diva tendencies; she was genuinely confused about what the interviewer was going on about ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜" Red Carpet Report / Via x.com If you're wondering, the rest of the interview was predictably awkward, and you can watch the full clip below:just making up some more questions on the spot😠pic.twitter.com/jnMMUB51wR- mathy ᯓ★ (@mckennasdd) February 5, 2026 Red Carpet Report / Via Twitter: @mckennasdd Fast-forward to 2026, and Mckenna is still steadily acting, recently appearing in Scream 7 and Regretting You.
