Story Of Rob Gronkowski’s Most Uncomfortable & Awkward Interview

Gronk is a savage competitor on the field but off the field, he is a jolly individual who is loved by all. However, during a 2013 interview, we got to see a serious Gronk who threatened to walk away if the interviewer didn’t change his line of questioning.

Actually, the interviewer kept asking Gronk about Aaron Hernandez, Gronk’s teammate at Patriots which clearly didn’t go down well with the great TE.

Next question,” was Gronk’s response with an extremely serious expression on his face when he was asked to comment on the Hernandez situation. When the interviewer directed the same question towards Gronk’s father, Rob threatened to leave the interview.

After the interviewer promised not to talk about the same issues again, Gronk sat down one more time. Rob actually had a great relationship with Hernandez and when the particular interview was shot, Hernandez was facing charges for homicide.

It was a really tough time for the people close to Hernandez and Gronk was one of them. Although Gronk’s family members tried easing the tension in the room by laughing awkwardly, the interview actually turned out to be an uncomfortable one to sit through.
