Pharrell Williams answers questions on new book Happy in press conference filled with children

 

Pharrell Williams answered a series of hard-hitting questions about his new project in a press conference full of children. 

The singer has adapted one of his most popular songs, Happy, into a children’s book of the same name. 

Williams thought he would be addressing a room full of journalists to talk about his new literary venture on Tuesday. Instead, he was met with a group of eager, plastic microphone-wielding British children, ready to ask the important questions. 

The first question, "Please can I go to the toilet?”, set the tone for the press conference. 

Other incisive questions included:

"Have you got any pets?”

“My Daddy always reads books on the toilet and my mum reads books on her bed. Would you read Happy on the toilet or the bed?”

“What is a happy helper?”

“When you go to McDonalds, do you order a happy meal?”

“My favourite thing in the word is chicken nuggets. What’s yours?” 

“Do you still have that hat that you got when you went talking to the lady? The big one?”
