[ HD ] Eric Bana guest star on David Letterman Late Show // July 27 2009

[AFFTL]

Letterman is a good bloke, what is thinking, trying to have a crack at Cricket. Its a way better than Baseball. Baseball is a good sport. But Cricket is higher scoring, longer fields, have to worry about the ball bouncing. The ball can get bowled at the Batsmen, u can get seriously hurt playing Cricket. You have to field with out a Glove.

[MichaelWalshMusicAUS]

Eric Bana shops at my supermarket, his kids go to my school :P

[spinking458]

I am so very happy we have an intelligent, funny, charming, nice, genuine guy like Eric Bana representing our great country Australia, very few men i would rather have on American talk shows representing Australia than Eric. Feel the same way about Hugh Jackman also.

[jakey12wakey]

fuck yeah used to play afl and ride bmx !

[MsSmoopy]

his wife is sooooo lucky

[khaynemotox]

afl is the gratest sport on earth

[youbetzler]

Gay FL a full contact sport? come on eric don't kid yourself, it might be more contact than any american sport but no tackling below the knees and that bullshit "rough tackle" that they charged Karmichael Hunt with was bogus.

[akjoda]

i WAS REFERING TO CROWDS BEFORE CLEARLY. NRL IS JEALOUS OF AFL CROWDS..

[akjoda]

NRL is jealous of the crows. Seriously! When AFL teams get 80,000 and the NRL 30,000, it really is a losing battle people. GO BLUES......

[beaul83]

Gay F L

im australian and i hate it, Nrl is better

[spinking458]

Lettermen calling 'AFL' gay made me laugh. Compared to American football, which as far as i know and from what i have watched, the game is televised for over 2 hours, the actuall game goes for an hour, but there is only 15-20 minutes of proper running action in the game, the rest is walking around and stratergising and getting into huddles. Aussie rules, we do not wear 400 pieces of padding and helmets, it's a singlet and shorts and over 90 minutes of proper running action. Real sport.

[ladybruin12]

@spinking458 He wasn't calling "AFL" gay he was saying the term for it (Footy) is a little gay.

[AFFTL]

@ladybruin12 So is running around in Helmets & Pads instead of putting you body on the line.

[ladybruin12]

@AFFTL Well american football used to be played without pads...to many serious injuries i guess. Do i think they need pads? NO, I dont, either way they get injured, the pads dont really protect them. Also why do people care to compare the two sports? Americans like american football, just like in austrailia and where ever else rugby is played, they like rugby.

[AFFTL]

@ladybruin12 I don't mind American Football & I'm not a really big fan of Rugby. I think it is stupid to make comparisons between sports. But its a bit irritating when people make stupid comparisons between sports.

& Australia is really a Australian Football nation not Rugby. Rugby is really only big in 2 States.

[Zephyesa]

@AFFTL but those two states make up for half your population dont they?

[ladybruin12]

@AFFTL Yeah I don't like comparing either and I have a lot of respect for rugby/ Australian football its a tough sport. But I live in America so i always find myself having to defend american football lol

[AFFTL]

@ladybruin12 Australian Football isn't Rugby dude, its a totally different sport.

[ladybruin12]

@AFFTL Yeah I know im just saying both sports seem very tough and difficult and i got respect for those players

[Zephyesa]

@AFFTL come and put your body on the line in gridiron with no helmet or pads,  and see how long you last aussie know it all

[AFFTL]

@Zephyesa Your an American. Not hard get you guy's upset lol. Your kidding ur self, we hit just as hard as American Football if not harder, & we don't wear Helmets & Pads. So why would I go play American Football lol.

I don't mind American Football, but its got nothing on Australian Football. There is way more skill, variety of skill, faster pace, higher scoring, clearly a way better sport.

[Zephyesa]

@AFFTL your sport way better lol yeah sure, thats why no one in the world gives a shit about it, how many people watching world wide and corperate dollars are involved in the NFL Superbowl compared to your tiny little aussie rules super bowl?

[AFFTL]

@Zephyesa HAHAHAHAHA, that's hilarious. Your sport is only played in America, its only played one country, just like ours. Your in the same situation LOL. & the only difference between AFL & NFL hits is we don't wear Protective Equipment & that's a fact lol.

No watches Gridiron world wide & if u think people do you are delusional lol. In fact there are numbers of people that like Australian Football world wide. But your sport is known as a shit sport World Wide.

[Zephyesa]

@AFFTL your a fool I see, more people in the world watch and talk about NFL than your backwater loser sport that looks like gay men playing basketball with a football.

[AFFTL]

@Zephyesa And I'm not big mouth, I'm just giving my opinion. your just an idiot who gets up set very easy. And our deciding game isn't called the Super Bowl, its called the Grand Final.

[Zephyesa]

@AFFTL yeah well heres just my opinion on your opinion, its a pretty stupid one saying your sport is harder and tougher than our one, because none of your guys would survive 5 minutes in it.

Im an idiot that gets set up easy lmao, thats good coming from a big mouth aussie pussy like you.

[Zephyesa]

@AFFTL lol the grand final? What a suck name, that sounds like a car race.

[AFFTL]

@Zephyesa Oh & Australian football has way tall players than American Football. Aaron Sanderlands 6'9, Mathew Burton 6,9, Mathew laurneberger 6,6 & lot of player s around 6'9 / 6'8

& Australian Football isn't just about smashing people, its actually got skill in it. Not like Gridiron which usually has only has 2 people are touching the ball in every play. Compared to AFL, which every player on the team has to have all the skills

Write some trash back again, I don't care, but lean how to read

[Zephyesa]

@AFFTL you have no idea what your talking about, our forwards would steam roll over your ones all day, our guys are mostly on average over 270, and you hit like absolute pussys, so who needs the helmet and pads?

[AFFTL]

@Zephyesa HAHAHAHAHAHA, I'm glad you wrote this shit, because now people can see it & laugh at it. Believe me American Football is known world wide as a shit sport & ''NO'' one watches it, that's a FACT LOL.

All American Football players apart from 3 are 330 pound fat cunts. ''1'' is around 6'4 220 pounds & the other 2 are only around 190 pounds. NFL players would get cleaned up by AFL players, because they wouldn't no how to protect them selves with Protective Equipment on.

[AFFTL]

@Zephyesa Australian Football players hit just as hard as NFL players, if not harder & that's a Fact. And People watch NFL out side America that's hilarious LOL

And reading properly isn't ur strong point is it. I ''never'' said AFL is tougher than NFL. I said they are both as tough as each other. Learn how to read, you idiot

& the Grand Final is a good name, especially because it makes sense. What the Fuck is Super Bowl lol

Grow a brain, pull your head out of ur Ass, you idiot

[AFFTL]

@Zephyesa And I'd be very interested to see a NFL player play in the AFL. And see if run's as hard into Packs when he doesn't have Helmet on & doesn't have to worry about his won safety. I don't think so LOL. They would get cleaned up, at least at first, because they wouldn't no how to protect them selves.

[AFFTL]

@Zephyesa I'm not a know it all, I'm just giving my opinion. Not all American's are like this, but your just typical arrogant American, who lives in Bubble & gets up set when someone gives an opinion.

[AFFTL]

@Zephyesa And your kidding your self, American Football is only played in America & Canada & its a bit different in Canada. Your sport is played as many countries as ours.

[Zephyesa]

@spinking458 lol yeah its real sport if your a gay australian fairy, u dont need to wear padding and helmets because you dont hit each other so hard, come and try taking a hit up with just your singlet and little gay pants on, and see how long you last you know it all.

[spinking458]

@Zephyesa Are you seriously writing back to me calling me a "Gay Australian fairy" that's real mature mate, you should be very proud. There was no lies in what i wrote, there was truth to all of it, i may be biased due to the fact that i am Aussie and proud, but i have the facts to back me up. Aussie rules football, is proper running fast pace action, throw in some big hits and tackles, for over an hour per game, and that's a proper sport. My opinion mate, continue to be as immature as you wish.

[Zephyesa]

@spinking458 you are the immature one here constantly bragging about how much better your game is, a typical big mouth arrogant southern aussie, you obviously have no idea about the qualitys of other contact sports that your so called more 'manly' players would fail miserably at.

[boob72]

AFL is gay because you wear short shorts that ride up your arse crack & you prance around like poofters...

[AFFTL]

@boob72 At least we don't wear Protective Equipment like American Football you bunch of Fairies. Put your body on the line like Australian Football, A man's game.

[boob72]

@AFFTL I'm not a seppo you tard. I follow the NRL a proper hard game where we don't have a melee rule so if there is a bit of biffo there are punches thrown not the slap and tickle you fairies indulge in.

[AFFTL]

@boob72 That's not apart of the game, that's just a bunch of fat untalented people fighting. Our actual game is tougher, harder hits, more dangerous hits. Its a harder hitting sport, for athletes. dip shit.

[boob72]

@AFFTL Harder hitting? That's a laugh, you clowns can't figure out if your playing football or basketball. Your average afl player wouldn't be able to get up if he got tackled by a rugby league player or even a rugby union player for that matter.

[AFFTL]

@boob72 Rugby is one of the worst sports in the world. Its played, by fat untalented people, with no skill, that's a fact & every body knows it. Australian Football hits are way harder than Rugby hits, because our hits come from all directions, not just straight in front like Rugby.

Australian Football is a game for skilled athletes, Rugby is a game for fat untalented, Brain dead people. No go back to your Mockersons & your shit XXX gold Beer, you Bogan.

[boob72]

@AFFTL Athletes yeah right...I seem to recall a show on channel 9 called Australia's greatest athlete. Season 1 & 2 was won by NRL player Billy Slater & season 3 was won by ARU player Quade Cooper. Won by Rugby League & Union respectively, AFL didn't make the grade, because they are hopeless.

[AFFTL]

@boob72 Live in the real world, those competitions where for fun & didn't really test athletes. Pretty much all of the events where, novelty drills from other sports like, Kicking rugby goals, standing wire , while in harness, Kicking goals in AFL.

There was next to no running, like time trails for sprinting & long distance. agility events, Swimming, things that actual test athletes LOL.

[AFFTL]

@boob72 Rugby players are fat with not skill, Australian Football players are Quicker, Bigger, Stronger, more Agile, with way more skill & that's a fact.

[AFFTL]

@boob72 And season 3 was won by a Iron Man athlete you lying cunt.

[boob72]

@AFFTL Quade Cooper beat Shannon Eckstein by 5 points overall, look it up on wikipedia you deluded fuckwit.

[AFFTL]

@boob72 No he didn't. & that has nothing to do with Rugby being a shit sport, with their players being fat cunts not athletes.

[boob72]

@AFFTL you really are a delusional fucktard. AFL is nothing but a bunch of fairies kicking a ball from one end of a paddock to the other, so they don't get hurt, it's about as hard core as tiddlywinks.

[AFFTL]

@boob72 Tiddlywinks you can tell your cool. I bet your a Brain Meat Mead living out in the Bush somewhere. Yeah its not a bunch of fat people slam into each other doing nothing apart form throwing the ball back a short distance. Where is the skill in that? No skill what's so ever.

Rugby has no skill what so ever. Write back again Hillbilly I don't care. But Rugby is a talentless sport with no skill & no athletes & that's a Fact.

[Zephyesa]

@boob72 agreed its the most ridiculous game I have ever watched, we have soccer for the not so tough guys, and for the ones who enjoy running alot, so we dont really need to hear much about a game from down under that makes no sense at all, especialy one that keeps on bragging about how tough you have to be to play it, when you clearly dont have to, I respect rugby as its genuinely tough, but not this australian rules trash.

[AFFTL]

@Zephyesa American Football is a stop start, next to no skill shit game, where you have 330 pound people & call them athletes lol. Not tough, we just as hard as American Football if not harder & we don't wear Pads & Helmets. Who's tougher LOL.

Stop talking shit.

[Zephyesa]

@AFFTL you are the one on here talking shit my big mouth southern aussie friend, lets see your 'tough' atheletes take a hit up in grid iron and see if they get up after being smashed by 2 line backers, you have no idea about hard hits, Ive seen your hard hits in aussie rules and they are pretty soft compared to NFL, so I can see why you dont need any pads or hemets.

[Zephyesa]

@AFFTL you have no idea about other sports at all, you have been brainwashed by that silly game you play in the south of australia that no one else cares about.

[babydollsanta]

he's yummy!

[bluesman332]

"its off its face" hahaha yeah boi

[Harelgur]

its the guy from troy? :X

[spinking458]

@Harelgur yes mate

[jetulik]

no way did he jump 16 kids off 2 bricks - bullshit

[irinka7811]

he is so handsome and so interesting person!!the best of all!!!!

[sammeuleman]

7.33 Letterman that is not funny... he loves that car.

Eric Bana = Aussie legend!

[LaMarcuss966]

jumping his mates

[93johnk]

i love this guy! if you watch the movie Funny People, it makes fun of his Australian accent. hilarious stuff

[CrookedPeas]

he is so handsome

[banksy35]

@fanni77 both

[UntrueLove]

HE IS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL :') ♥

[cloudanu]

If the AFL players didn't dress gay and have sex with men then maybe the sport wouldn't be called gay.

[nalin826]

that is my man, my main love. hes in incredibly talented and a beautiful human being. hes kind and funny and is a real man. i have alot of movies by him. im jealous of his wife

[katrina947]

Such a cute story about his kids!

[PinkiLovely]

semplicemente ..... delizioso piacere per gli occhi........

[sandoval15]

Happy birthday eric bana! :) (it's aug 9 here in our country today)

[Deekonmix23]

Gay F L

[angeleyesxxxooo]

I love Eric Bana

[angeleyesxxxooo]

I love Eric Bana. He's so beautiful. Eric, if you ever read this, give me a call sometime. We have so much in common xxx

[kelsonation]

Eric Bana's a legend! Too bad he loves gayfl so much. What a fuckin poofy game. And he was sooooo wrong. Rugby League is the most popular sport in Oz. The players are bigger and meaner and they'd kick any gayfl players arse in a fight on their worst day. Fuck fuckin gayfl.

[kelsonation]

@TheJuly272010 Yeah but its still a GAY sport played by homos and loved by dick riding hunchbacks like you. At least league players put their balls between uprights. Gayfl players propel their balls towards a bunch of sticks. Incidentally do you know the colloquial term for a bunch of sticks? It's "faggot". BTW all anyone ever does on youtube is talk shit and that includes YOU......;-D.

[AnaSarramona]

cool movie, saw it on #CUTE Full Movie Central . com #OMG

[Amandalp0]

Go the Saints! Go Eric Bana! Go Aussies!

[Gannondalf]

always good to see an australian on a tv show like this

[brionyofkonoha]

Yep, St Kilda may have been 17-0, but they still lost the flag to Geelong!! Go the Cats!!

[CurlyGirly088]

dave is lucky that eric bana didn't clock him in the face when he said "its a bit gay" hahha i could tell eric was offended a bit

[thesergen]

what a wanker he is, always talking about AFL and St Kilda, pffft... He doesn't even get the joke when he said " I enjoy jumping my mates" Idiot.

[Vittoriax96]

it bothers me when he picks up is left hand and shows his wedding band to the camera

[orgasmoman69]

what r ya talking about? its not like he does it on purpose....r u jelous that ur not married to him or something?

[McBeefsupreme]

afl is for faggots only people in victoria like it

[Paperbagman555]

@McBeefsupreme I live in Sydney and i love it =D

[almostlover72]

Ok, he's my GOD

[aynatbackwards]

why would he say footy is gay? shows a lack of respect for his guest who is an avid saints supporter and people who love the footy

[sn0wbunnny]

he is so dreamy...

[EminemBase]

I've only ever seen him in Chopper.

What an amazing movie and it's so fucking weird seeing him like this because he looks so different.

He really created one hell of a character with Chopper because I've seen every brilliant character study movie ever made but none have made me feel so odd about looking at the actor afterwards. He really embedded it into my brain lmao.

[jonaspv]

hahaha I just loved how he trashed rugby league.

[RDKF13]

If anything Bana loves AFL the most, he love the Saints.

[budgieness]

he is so cute!!! i can't believe he is 41 yrs old. he looks like he is in his 30's

[aferdita05]

hotty

[aferdita05]

he ist so hotttttt..sexiest man alive!

[robbiebalboa]

union!!!, rugby league mate. thats the real rugby.

[ViCoProductions]

Eric is awesome, I love him!

[banksy35]

but why is afl gay, when rugby players spend the whole game sniffing each others arses?

[shadowalker00]

@banksy35 thats rugby league it sux, union is good

[Zephyesa]

@banksy35 and afl players spend the whole game rolling around on each other in their tight little bum hugging shorts, aww how cute the victard fairys are sigh..

[AFFTL]

@Zephyesa Australian Football doesn't wear Protective Equipment like American Football Fairies. Real Men play Australian Football.

[anaemia]

Typical meatheaded bogan loves Rugby Union. Aussie Rules is the better sport.

[lollies91]

@anaemia

lol you got it wrong Typical meatheaded bogans love Rugby LEAGUE not Union. It's ridiculous people south of the border don't realise there are two types of Rugby.

[anaemia]

@lollies91

South of which border?  And both rugby sports are equally lame.

[lollies91]

@anaemia Generally speaking NSW/VIC but most in SA, TAS are also pretty unaware. Lame? Eh I don't agree (well maybe for league) but we're all intitled to like what we like.

[lollies91]

Rugby LEAGUE (as in NRL) Exactly my point.

[gordopark13]

can't just say footy need yell like a yobbo with a VB in ya hand

[jabbid111]

league has bigger hits then AFL but afl you get hit unexpectedly from behind so there probably as rough as each other.

[SchmabbitRabbit]

Oh, I LOVE Eric Bana - he's so gorgeous! <3

[saintbuddy]

go the saints 19 - 1 and minor premiers

[Jazurablade]

19-2 now

[kosmos007]

West Coast Eagles rule!!!

[superx0x125]

pffft AFL is so much toughter the american football the sissys wear helmets and shoulder pats etc etc the players wear none of that shit in australia and afl actually requires skill.

[rongravy]

I heard Jeremy Renner might be playing Mad Max in the new movie, but I think Eric Bana would be LOADS better. And he's got a cool voice...

[vanished001]

I havent heard word one of The Time Travelers Wife ... but from the description it sounds a lot like the tv show journeyman that was cancelled by some stupid tv exec, you know the kind that wouldnt know a great show if it walked up and slapped him in the face.

[IrishEyes1989]

Watched this when it was on TV last week. Eric Bana is sex on legs! He's so fit and then there's the Aussie accent..o m g <333

[cos1357924680]

haha i didn't know he was australian until i watched this and i was like o.O that's why he's so sexy!!! LOL

[Stoddy1011]

Saints 2009 Premiers!!!

[Roddrummer]

It sounds gay when Dave says it, but NOT when an Aussie bloke says it. Anything but...

[ocd04]

haha that is so true

[aldelarge80]

The main sport in Australia is soccer? Come on Dave...

[tomjonersi]

Thanks for the link and please keep up. Cheers

what's the name of the song near the end???
