Woody Allen, Twiggy 1967 Philosopher Interview Explained
A 58-year-old interview is going viral after people were left impressed by the expert way that British supermodel Twiggy reacted to director Woody Allen's attempt to embarrass her. Twiggy, who would have been just 17 years old at the time, is being lauded for how she handled the potentially awkward situation, with then-31-year-old Woody seemingly belittling her intelligence during the uncomfortable conversation. Woody kicked off the 1967 interview by asking Twiggy her thoughts on 'serious matters,' and when she asks what he means by that, he replies: 'I don't know, who's your favorite philosopher?' Twiggy can't hide her shock at the question, and she laughs awkwardly before answering: 'I haven't got one, I have no idea.' She then curiously asks: 'Who's yours?' 'Oh, I like them all,' Woody stutters in response, but Twiggy refuses to let him get away that easily. 'Who?' she asks again, and Woody sheepishly replies: 'All your basic philosophers.''Who?' Twiggy repeats, Woody once again stumbles over his words as he says: 'Just all of them.' 'I don't know their names though,' Twiggy confesses, with a serious look on her face. 'What are their names?' Twiggy previously revealed that this interview took place during her first-ever trip to New York, and that she wanted to run off and 'burst into tears' when Woody first asked the question. "There was one person who wasn't so nice — a young comic called Woody Allen, and he was to interview me for a documentary," she told Glamour in 2009. "His first question was: 'Who's your favorite philosopher?' My heart sank. I wanted to run off and burst into tears. I didn't know any philosophers. And he probably knew I didn't.''When I said so, he replied: 'Oh, come on, everyone has a favorite philosopher.' It was such a cruel thing to do to a young girl," she also revealed that Woody left the set and refused to continue with the interview after she turned the tables on him. "I was desperate and trying not to cry, but I turned the tables on him and asked him to come up with some names — but he couldn't think of any either!' Twiggy recalled. 'Then he said to me: 'I suppose you've read Dickens,' thinking I hadn't. So I said: 'Yeah, I read him at school.' In the end, he said: 'Oh, I can't interview her,' and left the stage." And in a 2025 interview with the Guardian, Twiggy said: 'He was trying to make me look stupid. My heart sank. I remember looking at him, pleading with my eyes for him to stop.' 'If I was the age he was there, in my 30s, I would never have behaved like that towards someone who was only 17,' she added. The interview clip resurfaced on X on Sunday and quickly went viral, racking up over four million views and thousands of likes and retweets as other users praised Twiggy's reaction. One quote-tweet that has been liked more than 92,000 times reads: 'She was 17, a perfectly acceptable age to not know any philosophers but a very impressive age to embarrass a 31 year old with his own bullshit.''I love how the look in her eye goes from bashful to, 'oh, I'm going for the kill now. Game on,'' somebody else noted.'The funniest part about this is you'd think the obvious thing to do if you plan to ask a question to humiliate someone is to know the answer yourself, but the thought never even crossed his mind,' another wrote. And one more concluded: ''What are your thoughts on serious matters?' is the most fake intellectual question of all time like… which one???'

Editorial: So long, Lolla kids. Hope you had fun.
After a slow start, we've come to regard Lollapalooza with affection. The kids who flock to Chicago (more than 100,000 per day this year, reportedly) are a fun crew, their destination instantly recognizable from their sparkly, skimpy attire wherever we encountered them in the city this weekend (usually peering into their phones, trying to find their Ubers). And, of course, they spend a lot of money around town, especially in and around Chicago's Loop, which needs their support. We'd expect the economic impact of the festival this year to be somewhere around $500 million, if not more. Over the years, Lollapalooza has turned into a good Chicago citizen and, with apologies to Coachella, which has a broader cultural mandate, has become North America's equivalent of Glastonbury, the massive outdoor British festival, which makes news in the entertainment business every year, often by slating such things as final farewells from the likes of Elton John and Rod Stewart, the pairings of iconic artists and young artists showing respect for previous generations. We saw some of that last phenomenon this year at Lolla, when young, female headliners such as Gracie Abrams brought out Robyn, Olivia Rodrigo introduced Weezer and Sabrina Carpenter surprised attendees with Earth, Wind & Fire, a retro band that also happens to be playing Ravinia on Thursday night. We hope that, for all our mutual benefits, Lolla keeps its focus on those deft kinds of surprises. The Chicago Police Department tells us that this year's festival went off without any significant trouble, beyond what you might reasonably expect when that many humans gather in one place. There were only 12 total arrests over the four nights, which is minimal; zero tickets issued (not a typo) and 42 ambulance reports, which is way down from previous years (in 2021, for example, there were 102 transports). The cooler weather likely helped, but this is all good news. It could well be that the disruptions caused to downtown residents by the now-departed NASCAR, which actually involved city streets and resulted in lengthy closures, has made us better appreciate Lollapalooza, which mostly confines itself to established festival grounds. We also always appreciate the effort to bring in local food operations, such as Fatso's Last Stand and the family-owned Bacci Pizzeria. And we heard from out-of-towners who were impressed with this year's drone show — especially how well it framed the real Willis Tower, if you had the right angle. Better yet, the aftershows at venues all over town were hopping this past weekend, from the Salt Shed to Radius and from Schubas Tavern to Lincoln Hall. Past concerns about the big event locking up acts with exclusive deals in protected territory haven't entirely gone away, but with this many people at so successful a festival, it's now clear that the smaller venues in Chicago generally have decided it's better to join the four-night party than stand against it. The Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events could do more to use the Lolla base for the benefit of the whole city and get attendees to stay for a week or more. Still, much as we often detail Chicago's problems in this space, we also know that its gorgeous skyline can seduce a young visitor like nowhere else in the Midwest. Huge benefits accrue, not just in terms of tourism but when it comes to attracting new residents, when young pop stars with tens of millions of followers post love letters to our town, as when Carpenter posted 'thank you, Chicago. Wow.' Carpenter also made specific reference to Chicago in her set, mimicking a Chicago news station. Rodrigo found her way to Wrigley Field this weekend and we heard tell of a certain young Chicago Cubs star present at Lollapalooza, too. Simply put, this was a weekend for the spotlight to find a way through the haze and shine on the beauty, action and artistry of a Chicago summer. Glastonbury is taking the year off in 2026 to allow the natural land to recover. Thanks to our urban setting and the hard work of those who tend to its grounds, Lollapalooza does not have that problem. It'll be back — and we're happy about that.
