14 Wild Admissions Celebrities Made Mid Interview

Have you ever been in the middle of an interview and just stopped in your tracks when the interviewer asked you a question?

Or…

You're sitting in a job interview, and things are going well. The conversation is flowing, you feel like you can see yourself in the company's future, and then – out of nowhere – your interviewer asks you about a time you were caught doing something illegal. What do you do?
