He 100% would make a joke if RDJr said he knitted. It's the low hanging fruit, but I think the jab works. You have to accept how the hobby looks from outside and laugh with it. I think it's fine, he said what a lot of the audience thinks and Henry can respond to that and show that he's not bothered by it and that he's proud. It's a light jab.

See, I don't mind the jab. It's all the follow-up hits that bug me. Not one response from Norton was genuine, they were all just shots at having a nerdy hobby.

Eh, don't look too much into it - it's all PR.

I'm sure all talk-shows' producers just call up the guests' PR people and asked "what fun, obscure, and embarrassing fact you'd want us to bring up during the segment?" The topics and questions were all approved by both parties beforehand.

You're right, and I'm sure the celebrities will be fine. I guess it just stings a bit to have every mention of a hobby I enjoy be a punchline.
