human disaster

(noun) a person who despite proficiency, respectability and intelligence in many or all areas of their life manages to appear as if they have never heard of any of those things; the effect is a general combination of the hilarious, the ridiculous, the facepalm-inducing and the absolutely adorable.

Usually used in reference to public personalities i.e. actors, celebrities, authors etc.

Wait did he really just say that on television? Oh my god he's such a human disaster.
