The “Book Club: Next Chapter” actor has been promoting her new movie (out Friday) and co-stars Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen — and she’s been using A charmingly weird idea to steal the spotlight, random WTF moments and an obvious love of booze, mixed with a bit of contradiction and utter confusion.

Here are a few examples from the past week where the “Godfather” alum inadvertently breathed new life into traditionally bland media interviews, ignoring social cues and acting unapologetically eccentric .

On Saturday, Keaton was at a About the New York Times. When asked about her new movie, Keaton decided to sell it.

“It’s a good movie,” Keaton said. “I did what I could, you know, sort of.”

She also talks about one of her favorite foods—no, it not lobster.

“I love tacos,” Keaton told the newspaper, for who knows why. “I buy tacos. Just tacos. I put a bunch of stuff in it, and I eat it and love it. I love tacos.”

She also spoke to The Times about her golden retriever, Reggie, who seems to be able to do whatever he wants.

“Reggie was a bad girl today,” Keaton began. “I’m glad I have enough room in the backyard for her to destroy all the plants. Right, Reg? I love that dog.”

On Tuesday, a reporter from Bauer Media Group in the UK shared a clip Her own interview with Keaton, who Doesn’t seem interested in talking about “book club” but focuses on another topic.

“Uh oh,” Keaton said. “I didn’t see you smiling. It’s not funny at all, is it?”

Keaton was wrong: it sure was fun.

At various points in their chat, the reporter tried to compliment Keaton, telling her she “inspired” people and had a “passion” for photography, which Keaton repeatedly downplayed and shrugged.

Finally, when a reporter told Keaton he had only a minute left for the interview, Keaton responded: “One minute! Well, I’ll blow you off then. …I’m not helping at all. I mean, I’m just a jerk. I like you though. I find you attractive.”

On Friday’s episode of “The View,” Keaton decided to casually recount the surrealness of speaking in front of a talk show studio audience.
