Toby Stephens talks about Hamlet

[3dee300]

How does he remember all this with so much feeling,it's profound!

[dezboss]

He is an incredibly deep thinker.

[hannahmwalsh]

I only realised after I saw Jane Eyre that I had seen him as Hamlet in Stratford.. was very sadly excited. I remember thinking he was blonde, foppish, and a bit of a dick, not sure if that meant I thought he was a dick... or Hamlet was haha. He's actually a really good actor... nowadays the standard isn't great, but I do think he's amazing.

[CottonCandy635]

I lost concentration on what he was saying...swoon

[kyereCat]

Toby has the face of a beautiful model. In Jane Eyre, he even walks and poses like one. He is simply, GORGEOUS!

[tatamartini]

that's what a real actor's all about

[Jadexxpxx]

I wish i was that clever :-( i don't even understand half the things hes saying, its like another language to me. He might aswell be speaking japanese :-(

[Rosamorrable]

a lot of what he says doesn't really make sense; i mean he starts on something, and then pursues on another...

[SwiftSnowmane]

I feel so incredibly lucky that I happened to see Toby as Hamlet in 2004 in Stratford-upon-Avon---it was truly a once in a lifetime chance! I think I must have dreamed of him for weeks afterward. Wow, the memory still makes me swoon....

[Rosamorrable]

@SwiftSnowmane omg you're so lucky!!

[Rosamorrable]

where can i watch his version of Hamlet?

thanks!

[emiliakatz]

I didn't know he played Hamlet. He is such a talented and handsome actor !!!

[CorwynCelesil]

I would love to see him as Hamlet.

[Olarsaa]

he's awesome !  < 3

[legendarymermaid]

If anyone has it on video and could post it, I would be eternally grateful!

[dominicdagger]

I saw his Hamlet at the RSC in 2004 and he was absolutely fantastic. His Hamlet was my inspiration for my own production of Hamlet for my final assignment at University and I got a 1st!!!

[legendarymermaid]

He played Hamlet?? I would love to see that!!!

[corsetcate]

he was such a fantastic hamlet.

[evelise9]

Toby Stephens is stunning charming gorgeous charismatic lovelly and talented ACTOR!!  Handsome

[2Sweetygirl]

Toby Stephens is always a very, very handsome man. I love to look at him!

[XforeverxlonelyX]

i love the way he says pimpin' :D

[magicalfaeriesmoon]

He is the face, my imagination captured when I was studying Emily Bronte and Jane Eyre. Perhaps a tad self-centred, spoilt and reckless; I suppose he has earned that privilege. But I think he is fiercly intelligent enough to prosper and endure for ever....I wish you every success and happiness, Toby.

[francoena]

sexy as anything but god how effected!! mr i love myself!!lol x

[ferwynn04]

Im breathless. He is so amazing, so talented, so cute, so sexy. In fact, I think that sexy is a word only created to describe him

[acmedressform]

his wife sure is a lucky gal!

[Bittersweetdstny]

He is the epitome of sex on legs!!!

You know what, I am officially going to marry an Englishman! I mean, seriously, did you see that smile?!?!?! and that accent?!?! Yummy!

and not to mention his hair...

How old is this video?

[TessDurbeyfield81]

Toby is just perfect with his sexy voice and this smile (which makes my knees shacking!) and of course with his great talent!! One of the best actors alive!

[utubeusername00]

i would listen to him giving a lecture about sand

[acmedressform]

ha ha ha, so would I

[Bittersweetdstny]

mmmmmm mee too!

[Valahia2008]

lolll Excellent comment. :)

[lorrainewands]

@utubeusername00 What a way with words you have! So would I!!

[leonardoforlife]

@utubeusername00 haha definitely. i love how he runs his hand through his hair all the time...

[pimpfdm]

I´m horny

[Bittersweetdstny]

I don't blame you, my dear....

[Threewomen]

I think a gotta grab this. Grrr! LOL

[moodymaddy]

That Voice.........*weak knees*

[ianVSjaredVSme]

hes just hot! sexy! and i love him

[angelitoshii]

OMG!This man is HOT HOT HOT!!!He's the ultimate epitome of sexiness. I know he would not mind me running his fingers through his hair. LOL!

[kmbwe]

I found it extremely hard to concentrate on what he was saying at the start of the clip......as I got very distracted whilst he running his fingers through his hair (gasp/sigh)

[Swedelady]

@kmbwe and for me it's difficult to concentrate myself on what he's saying because my heart beats so fast and loudly when I see him, that I don't hear my mind LOL

[Astraea52]

@kmbwe "Concentrating" isn't easy, when the sound & video aren't synchronized either!

[kmbwe]

@Astraea52 Not synchronized!!!! Didn't notice.....was far to busy concentrating....or trying to concentrate on other things. LOL!!!!

[oracleofaltoona]

Toby is such a wondrous actor that he has been dematerialized to another universe for fear that he would upset the aesthetic balance of aesthetics were he allowed to ply his actorly wares here on this planet.

Hence he now resides in a parallel universe -- where they have better entertainment and art needless to say. Lots of great Shakespeare and stuff flowing in every stream and river. And great artists who don't have to degraded or base to be "real".

[frizzgondor]

i thought i was the only one who seem to be suffering with my toby love. he is soooooooooooo fine, the trouble is i cant make him mine. i am dying here, any solution?

[oracleofaltoona]

Why the teasing taste of what a brilliant Hamlet he was? Is this a deliberate attempt at cruelty?

[0dour]

DAMN YOU FINE.

[skyqueen66]

Toby, you are too much darling....those eyes, that voice, those smile lines, those cheek bones, that mouth, those freckles on your shoulders and legs (pool scene Great Gatsby), and that posh sexy accent. Love you most when you flare the nose, set that jaw and dart those eyes. Yeah, uh, I did it....now shoot me that look Toby. Come on ladies you know what I am talking about. Remember the wedding scene from JE? Boy, you are too damn much! I love ya and you truly are an exceptional actor.

[EgyptofGlow]

skyqueen66: you are so right, funny but right!

Don't you wish you could get your hands on more of his work.:-) We are really missing out on some great talent this side of the pond. I also like the little laugh he does at 1:23.

[skyqueen66]

Wait, do I dare to imagine that there exist another on this side of the world that understands my great lust, uh, I mean admiration for this man. Don't trifle with my feelings for I have suffer with this alone for many years. The blinking eyes and blank stares of my friends when we are having those talks of "Who would you Do". "WHO?", they say. So yes my friend I do love his laugh and everything about him. This southern girl loves her Englishmen and Toby is at the top of that list!

[EgyptofGlow]

I wouldn't dream of trifling with your feelings. I have run into the same problem myself and I'm always pulling up thier photos on my blackberry, just to show my friends what I'm talking about.

It's really a shame we are limited to a portion of thier preformances here in the States.

Who knows, maybe that will change with time, meanwhile, thank God for YouTube!!:-)
