James Cameron


What went wrong?
‘I’m the king of the world!’. His film had just won 11 Oscars so you’d forgive James Cameron for having a little moment like he’d just discovered the cure for Alzheimer's. Trouble is, Cameron looks like a maths teacher trying to high-five the coolest kid in school. His fist-pumping ‘king of the world’ statement fell embarrassingly flat. The worst of it is that you can see him working up to it. A classic toe-curler.
Take-home lesson for Oscar winners
Know thyself. If whoo-hoo-ing isn’t your bag, for heaven’s sake don’t try it in front a global audience of millions.
