How did I know the kid was going to be named after Stellan Skarsgard?! This fantastically sexy gorgeous guy (Bettany) is friends with the father of the very hot Alexander Skarsgard! *Singing* It's the circle of celebs! And they're hotter than Africa!
Such a strange thing about Paul Bettany: In written interviews, he tends to come across as a somewhat self-important, arrogant twat. In personal appearances like this, he just makes me want to marry him over and over again. And his work...oh my god, his work. Curse this massive talent fetish of mine.
''You say erb, we say herb because there's a fucking H in the beginning!''
So funny and so true actually...I'm not even British but anyone can see that English really respect their language when they're talking...I feel like Americans have oversimplified the language...
BTW,Paul Bettany is such a great actor and he seems like a clever man, too.
I'd name my son after a drinker... Definitely. Maybe it'd be some kind of reverse psychology bullshit and he'd be the only sober one in the family... Hmm. Definitely something to think about :)
Conan's a funny guy, but I can't help but lose some respect for him since here when he mentions Jennifer Connelly, and all he can say about her is that she's beautiful, never mind her entire career as an actor. She's an actor, so he should talk about her acting ability, rather than her appearance. I'm sure she works hard at her job, so doesn't she deserve more credit? If only such sexism was seen as offensive and unprofessional. I expect more from Conan than that.
I used to be afraid of him after seeing him as Silas in The da Vinci Code movie...not afraid anymore. He seems like a genuinely sweet and funny guy. Happy Birthday, Paul.
OMG, i love this dude! he has a bad habit of playing in films that I feel don't really show his real potential but I just love him in films. it doesn't hurt that he's so attractive as well.
He seems like such an awesome guy!! I love when amazingly talented people also seem really normal and nice... plus he's just gorgeous. I'll watch anything with him in it <3
@CarissaXo99 I'm sure he didn't invent the joke, but he delivered it in the exact same way, and the actual herb line was nearly word-for-word what Eddie said.
He scared the shit out of me in secret life of bees, iv been having nightmares ever since!! but now I see he's actually a nice guy!! ahhh....I feel so much better!!
I've just recently became interested in Paul Bettany. I LOVE his attitude and personality. I also love Conan's reaction from 0:58-1:05. They're both hilarious! :)
He just sat there and stole jokes from actual comedians. The "H" in "Herb" is from Eddie Izzard and the nicotine patch story, which Conan O'Brien call ingenious, is from another comedian, Frank Skinner or Harry Hill or someone, I can remember. Stop stealing jokes and going on talk shows, Paul Bettany.

Not so much awesome, more a thief. Eddie Izzard - Being Bilingual by melinda923, if you want to see the The "H" in "Herb" joke in it's origin. I have since found out the nicotine patch routine was created by Adam Bloom but I can't find a video of the joke as Bloom is quite dull, and watching through his sets to find an example of the joke is too tedious. I share Stewart Lee's philosophy's on stealing jokes. Watch it here: Stewart Lee - Joe Pasquale joke by peteholloway.
He did, but I don't really think it was his intention. I feel like he was more directly quoting/imitating Izzard and even vaguely mimicking the arm movement after he said it, not flat-out pretending he came up with it on his own..
Anybody else realizing that if anyone actually named their son "kumkwat" they'd be called "Cum twat" in high school?
