Tom Hanks, Reese Witherspoon, and Other Stars React to Kids Gatecrashing Dad's BBC Interview
Political Science professor Robert E. Kelly was being interviewed about the South Korea impeachment scandal by the BBC via Skype when his kids unexpectedly gatecrashed his live interview.
Kelly’s young daughter energetically dances her way into the room uninvited, followed shortly by a younger sibling in a walker. A woman frantically storms into the room and yanks both children out of the shot, but not before reaching up from the floor to close the door.
Despite the interruption and chaos happening behind him, Kelly kept his composure throughout the interview as he discussed the political drama unfolding in South Korea, where a court had removed President Park Geun-hye from office.

Yes, it was the desperate reach for the door at the end that nearly did it for me… https://t.co/suxe3KPs3i
