Oprah Makes Pharrell Cry

It’s hard to believe that Pharrell still gets choked up over his fans. The super-producer broke down to tears while chatting with Oprah on “Oprah Prime” about his song “Happy” that continues to sweep the nation. Oprah showed him a moving montage of people inspired all over the world by his Oscar-nominated song for “Despicable Me 2,” and Pharell was in tears before the video ended.

“It’s overwhelming, because it’s like I love what I do, and I just appreciate the fact that people have believed in me for so long that I could make it to this point to feel that,” he told the host.

“Why am I crying on Oprah,” he wondered…Well it’s kinda a requirement.
