I went all cross-eyed when I heard his contradictory interview.

Hi

Could you please tell me what the underlined part means? Is it natural English?

I went all cross-eyed when I heard his contradictory interview. He has no idea what he keeps talking about.

Thanks,

Tom

I haven't heard or read this idiom in a context like this, but it seems to mean either 'I got confused' or 'I got annoyed'. Or maybe both. The expression is sometimes used to mean 'I got very drunk'.

When your eyes are crossed, you cannot see clearly. So you cannot be objective about the situation.
