Paul McCartney’s Son James ‘Me’ Album Interview: Twitter Calls ‘Car Crash Television’ And ‘Awkward,’ Doesn’t Know The Word ‘Prerequisite’? [VIDEO]

Paul McCartney's son James appeared on "BBC Breakfast" Tuesday to promote his new album, titled "Me." The 35-year-old son of The Beatles legend had difficulty appearing natural in the interview, even becoming confused by the word 'prerequisite,' and Twitter users found it painful to watch.

People on Twitter called the interview "excruciating," a "PR disaster," "car crash television."

According to The Independent, one user tweeted: "James McCartney has become fodder for media trainers across the country on how NOT to do an interview."

Another said sarcastically: "What a great interview, we've learned so much!"

According to The Daily Mail, another user tweeted: "Christ. This James McCartney interview is a car crash."

And another wrote: "Painfully stilted conversation with James McCartney on BBC Breakfast."

"Anyone see #James #McCartney (son of Sir Paul) on #BBC #Breakfast - long while since I have seen anyone on T V with so little personality!!" one user said.

Presenters Bill Turnbull and Susanna Reid were forced to do most of the talking during the short segment, in which James answered questions in mono-syllables.

The presenters began by talking about his long US tour. "That sounds pretty tiring," asked Reid, to which McCartney replied: "Yeah."

Reid pressed, "Was it?" and McCartney said: "No it was OK. It was good fun."

Turnbull then asked whether as a McCartney, it was a prerequisite to play "all sorts of different instruments."

It seemed as though McCartney didn't understand the question or the word "prerequisite," because he responded: "Is it? Not really. But for me it is... No, I don't know."

It became clear that Turnbull had exhausted all the usual questions for musicians on the show, so he asked McCartney about the credits section of McCartney's new album "Me."

"Paul McCartney, who's he?" joked Turnbull. "Oh he's my father," deadpanned McCartney.

When asked whether his father was a "friendly critic" of his work, the singer said: "Constructive criticism, definitely yeah."

Perhaps next time James should let his music do the talking.
