Chevy Chase<\/a> is the rudest celebrity Marina Zenovich has ever interviewed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chevy Chase doc director: ‘I’d never done an interview where someone was so rude to me’<\/p>\n

The I\u2019m Chevy Chase<\/a>, and You\u2019re Not director admitted she was initially worried about how to approach the 82-year-old actor about his reputation for being difficult and abrasive but it was easy after he was immediately rude to her.<\/p>\n

When Zenovich told Chevy \u201cI\u2019m just trying to figure you out\u201d, he replied: \u201cIt\u2019s not going to be easy for you. You\u2019re not bright enough\u201d.<\/p>\n

She told Variety: \u201cI\u2019d never done an interview where someone was so rude to me. But I was so worried going into that first interview with him about how I was going to say to him, like, \u2018Everyone thinks you\u2019re an a******.\u2019 I thought if I did, he would throw me out of his house. So the minute he said that to me, I had a way in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chevy has had on-set disputes with SNL\u2019s Terry Sweeney and the entire cast of the NBC comedy Community and Zenovich wanted to \u201cfigure out who was the real\u201d Chevy was.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: \u201cI wanted to figure out who was the real person behind the conflicted, guarded and somewhat fragile man we see on camera. What was behind the surface of his slightly intimidating superstar bravado? Was there any self-awareness there? Having interviewed Chevy at length, I have to say that yes, it\u2019s all there \u2013 and a whole lot of pain and heartache too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nSweeney \u2013 who made history as Saturday Night Live\u2018s first out gay castmember \u2013 fell out with Chase after he proposed Sweeney appear in an SNL sketch mocking the AIDS epidemic.<\/p>\n

\nThe incident is revisited in the doc and Sweeney told The Hollywood Reporter: \u201c\u2026[he is just] making himself look more like the ass he is!!! It all reflects rightly horribly on him. Boohoo \u2026 poor screwed up kid \u2026 so THAT\u2019s why he\u2019s so rotten!!!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
