Toronto Maple Leafs’ Joffrey Lupul was put in an awkward situation when asked about his girlfriend.

Foks, we’ve all been put in an awkward situation when asked about our situation with or without a significant other. Unfortunately for Toronto Maple Leafs forward Joffrey Lupul, he was asked by a fan during an interview which would be seen by thousands and thousands of people.  Including, most likely, the significant other.

Or, not significant other.  His something-other.  Whoever she is.  It’s complicated.

The Maple Leafs were making their annual visit to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto on Thursday, and fans attending had a chance to interview their favorite players.  One lucky fan had the chance to interview Joffrey Lupul, and threw him a curve-ball when he asked Lupul about his love life.  Particularly, if he has a girlfriend.

Lupul clearly was not expecting the question and was taken back by it.  Trying to answer the question as honestly as possible, Lupul struggled to find the words to describe his relationship status.  “Ummmm…. [long pause] No. [long pause] But kind of. I don’t even know how to explain it….it’s complicated.”

Oh boy.

It’s like an awkward train wreck.  You want him to just stop trying to explain it because he’s so awkward, yet you want him to keep going to see what comes out of his mouth next.  The honesty and awkwardness is much appreciated Mr. Lupul.

This young fan definitely hit the jack pot with this awkward interview.  I hope it was worth it though kid, because you probably just put one of your favorite players in the dog house with his ‘complicated’ other.
