Malala Yousafzai responded to Jimmy Kimmel's joke, saying, 'I only
talk about peace'
The 2023 Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel landed
himself in hot waters after he approached Nobel Peace Prize winner and
education activist Malala Yousafzai and asked her opinion on Harry Styles
and Chris Pine spit-gate.
The human-rights activist, 25, attended the 95th Academy Awards
on Sunday as an executive producer of Stranger at the Gate, a nominee for
Best Documentary Short Film.
Malala was jokingly asked by Kimmel,
55, from her seat in the audience at the Dolby Theatre about the supposed
spit-gate beef between Don't Worry Darling co-stars Chris and Styles.
Jimmy Kimmel asks Malala Yousafzai a viewer question: “As the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history, I was wondering, do you think Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine?”

"Your work in human rights and education for women and children
is an inspiration," Kimmel said as he reached where Malala was sitting.
"As
the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history, I was wondering, do you think
Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine?" he asked.
“I only talk about
peace,” Malala responded. “You know what, that’s why you’re Malala and no
one else is,” Kimmel said, before quickly moving on.
Her answer earned praise as many viewers lauded her reaction on
social media.
"Imagine getting to speak to Malala and you ask her
what she thinks about Harry Styles and Chris Pine beefing... insane," said
one Twitter user.
"Ok but did @jimmykimmel seriously just ask
@Malala about Harry Styles spitting on Chris Pine? Her answer was so classy
and perfect," a third person wrote on Twitter.
