Anderson Cooper Explains Why He Walked Out of the New 'Star Wars' Movie!

Anderson Cooper made a fun appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday evening (January 2) in New York City.

The 50-year-old CNN News anchor discussed U.S. politics, international politics, hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve live broadcast with Andy Cohen and revealed why he walked out of Star Wars: The Last Jedi after just 45 minutes.

“I actually saw it last night, I walked out,” Anderson revealed. “I know, I’m sorry. I have a lot going on, I had a lot of work to do and a lot on my mind.”

“It wasn’t a protest, I’m going to see it again,” Anderson added when the audience gasped. “I had too much in my head. About 45 minutes in I said, ‘I’m not giving this the attention it deserves.’”
