TV and entertainment legend Molly Meldrum has offered an apology to the Australian public after he caused a stir by interrupting Samuel Johnson’s Gold Logies acceptance speech.
As the actor – who won the night’s biggest award for his role as the 74-year-old in Channel Seven’s Molly mini-series – was thanking friends and family, Meldrum stormed the stage and began telling a series of anecdotes about the star and his family.
He also dropped a few F-bombs along the way.
Despite Sam telling press he was "really flattered" by Molly's words and acknowledging the music legend "meant well" with his Kanye-style interruption, Molly has profusely apologised to anyone he might have offended.
"I profusely apologise if I upset anyone," Meldrum told News Corp.

"I'm so very proud of Sam. Everyone should be proud of him. His [acceptance] speech for his sister Connie was beautiful and his charity work is simply amazing. He's gone through a lot lately.
"And if people had problems understanding what I was trying to say, well, that's nothing new for me."

It's such a shame Molly is being compared to Kayne, especially given their motivate for intercepting was totally pole's apart.
The only person's opinion that matters is Samuel Johnson's and from what he said on The Project, he was fine with it.
