THR Actors Roundtable (Full Hour)

[KellyGreen5555]

I wish someone would pay Jesse Eisenberg to stop acting.

[enk989]

Ryan has no idea why he's good at acting-- that's what you call a natural.

[deathfromabove77]

Robert Duvall is the best actor at this table...daylight is second..and maybe Ryan Gosling next...Colin Firth is an overrated pompous windbag , Eisenberg is a pipsqueak who can only play one role.."the pipsqueak"..Franco's got talent but is lazy in his film choices and doesnt push himself (apart from 127 hours),Ruffalo's a reliable supporting character actor, nothing more..Duvall has more genius in his little finger than any of these pretenders have

[tcullz760]

I could listen to jesse all day and never get tired of listening to him. he gives great insight.

[MagicalWham]

Oh god this interviewer needs to be fired. This interview is DEAD.

[ciaobellakate]

Ryan has nice hands.

[Joyce926]

James Franco > Ryan Gosling

[aaaaddddaaa]

@Joyce926

Um. No.

They are equally attractive.

[lightscomingout]

this is literally the worst interview in the history of interviews... sigh

[ck8823]

Unless my eyes are deceiving me, Gosling is definitely wearing the jacket from Drive but inside out ( or a different color one).

[mclennon1]

I want Gosling's jacket. No homo

[Keyx9]

@mclennon1 Man, I tried to google it, but I couldn't find it. Ryan's got so much style...

[mclennon1]

@Keyx9 haha. Yeah, I did too. However, I did find out you can buy the scorpion jacket from Drive which is awesome!

[Ironcap8]

I think Ryan Gosling could have pulled off Captain America.

[MiMiN91]

Bob Duvall is such a boss.

[B10NICBURITO]

42:48 Duvall was like "wtf where did you come from? Were you here the whole time?" to Ryan Gosling. LMAO.

[xtuber25]

I didn't like the way Mark Ruffalo responded to what Jesse said (41:25). Jesse is about to become the kind of actor Mark has never been, and he thinks that just because he's older he has much to teach, but that's bullshit, I mean, he's not terrible, but he never deserved an Academy Award (not even for The Kids Are All Right).

[KellyGreen5555]

@xtuber25 What are you on about?

[xtuber25]

@KellyGreen5555 I think Jesse is a lot better than Mark Ruffalo. Especially after The Social Network.

[EmmaXDCD]

franco says you know so much.... youknowyouknowyouknow

[OpheliaDagger]

I'm just watching this for Jesse's beautiful hands. Unless Ryan inexplicably takes his shirt off at any point.

[Davylp]

Is there gonna be one for this year's nominees just like this?

[marronator92]

At 20:58 james franco literally dies and comes back to life.

[angelusms3]

i like Mark Ruffalo more now after hearing his early struggles... he deserves Hollywood. I hope he is a nice being

[viddied]

is that a toothpick in mr. gosling's left ear? must be prepping for drive

[tmolusable]

this makes me really dislike Robert Duvall.

[superlittleboots]

I LOVE that when asked 'what makes a great actor' except from Duvall they all looked at Ryan. Best actor of his generation, great. Also love how Colin, Mark and Ryan are giggling at how stupid Duvall is acting :)

[roseatvirginia]

where is the reporter on the left side of the table from, the one that does most of the talking? anybody??

[johnsmith4442]

@roseatvirginia dont know but hes obviously from england

[roseatvirginia]

@johnsmith4442 to me he sounds like a European foreigner that has been made to learn the English accent whily studying. thats why I was wondering...

[johnsmith4442]

@roseatvirginia i dont know he sounds english to me.

[roseatvirginia]

the actresses round was much more relaxed than the male version here. they all seem very tense

[alexjrdurham]

Not gonna lie, Gosling and Duvall look like they could be related.

[roseatvirginia]

jesse is so incredibly shy

[Iker122]

Have you seen my work in Young Hercules ?... :D

[popaddict]

Also Robert Duvall is so lost in the group. He's reactions when he realises they're asking him a question is hilarious!

[popaddict]

Why does James Franco randomly start talking so loudly? LOL :D

[TheChillWavve]

James Franco talks to fucking loud compared to everyone else.

[trike19]

The table isn't even round!

[popaddict]

@trike19 That's bugging me as well! Get a round table next time Hollywood Reporter! :D

[achaserofrocks]

If I were Jesse I'd be uncomfortable knowing Franco was staring me down at 51:20 when I'm trying to articulate something, who wouldn't be

[aaaaddddaaa]

When James interrupted Ryan, Ryan gives him like a serious stare for a long time.

"Fugly Skank"

Why is Ryan just sitting there pretty.

[aaaaddddaaa]

You people should have put the time when Ryan speaks.

[Iker122]

Gosling is the man !

[dariusasghari]

fuck all that, theyre just as nervous as anybody being sat with their admired co-workers. they look fairly comfortable with each other after the first 20 minutes. plus its great to same these dudes just talk and ick the shit about such an exciting craft.

[blumlu1983]

<3 Mark Ruffalo.....

[bhbrklyn]

None of them want to be there, the questions are so stupid, do u like acting? wtf? why waste their time, and bottom line who gives a fuck about any actor or actress, stupid.

[XsweetstarliteX]

now watch the actresses interview, its alot more relaxed

[rocky78964]

James Franco really needs some sleep !!

[sabinerey]

this interviewer is lame

[TheAgatabb]

@sabinerey I would have to agree with that, stupid question like: do you like acting? why? ... and the atmosphere was kind of fraught, i don't know... just weird.

[SydAnneB]

jesse is so awkward that it actually pains me....

[mkelly1230]

Ryan Gosling is perfect.

[Davylp]

@mkelly1230  Yes for a Horse face!@

[ifeelnavyblue]

jesse's is going to take a huge piss after this

[HotPocketsBoy]

god Jessie can't speak for shit. his words come out like chop suey

[pansat512]

Haha this was cool thatch and Franco's stares r hilarious I couldn't concentrate on Eisenbeg speaking. Duvall needed to take a nap lol

[cOOliemOuSie]

its like james completely missed the question everytime he answered

but his hot so its okay

[daas8214]

@cOOliemOuSie he's still in the character.

[jupithou]

I don't know where he's from LOL

[VilleMagique]

Robert Duvall is one grumpy old bastard.

[emmastonekewl]

haha 21 minutes in to the video, when james starts to talk, you can see jesse eisenberg trying not to laugh. james was definitely coming off drugs when this was filmed.

[AMBat3rdrock]

james franco took his role in pineapple express a little too seriously

[mrssyringa]

Colin Firth is superb. I could listen to him reading the telephone directory.

He is so sexy, even when not trying to be.

[Crimson28]

Is Franco high or drunk or something?

[tokiswartooths]

Lmao I think James Franco wants to go Hannibal Lecter on Jesse.

[TotexDennys]

I love how intently Mark Rufallo listens to everyone.

[gunner23]

thats the worst roundtable ever.

[GetterRay]

No Ryan, but I did watch Breaker High.

[Brendo2345]

where can i find the EXACT same jacket that Ryan is wearing?

[MrWaeseL]

@Brendo2345 google

[paranoidpfanclub]

Wow just discovered these videos brilliant!.... Duvall Brilliant!

[NYironman]

44:45 James Franco LMAO I've been watching this video repeatedly over the past year and this gets me every time. You can tell James sees Ryan in a certain way but to answer on his name LOL

[poturrate]

james franco porn stache ftw. And his crazy looks .AND his shouting AND his general randomness haaha its oscars night all over again. Were you stoned? Guilty 'no!'

[zenobi101]

I JUST WANNA GIVE JESSE EISENBERG A HUG!

[Susquehanna80]

Love Robert Duvall..what fun to watch

[superassyrian]

I love how when James drinks, Jesse follows.

[JameelaTiffanieMejia]

james does not seem impressed with robert diissing those movies

[JameelaTiffanieMejia]

james franco is just so fucking beautiful. my heart leaps at the sight of him

[JameelaTiffanieMejia]

jesse eisenberg looks super nervous, awwee

[JameelaTiffanieMejia]

i love the way he said no when they asked "were you stoned"

[JameelaTiffanieMejia]

you guys, james franco isnt high or being a downer or being a dick, he doesn't like interviews and stuff like this he opened up about it recently. he's just an introvert

[DonRMB]

James Franco should play Charles Manson in a movie... He just needs to grow his hair longer and do those facial expressions.. Instant Oscar! xD

[cstef10]

these reporters aren't the best listeners.

[steven12345gerrard]

ryan looks like he just came back from filming drive :)

[CharliiLow]

James Franco is almost painfully creepy looking throughout the whole of this video.

[jazz4]

I thought Duvall was gonna die when I saw the length of this video.

[jessygov]

LMFAO reading everyone's comments is making me laugh so hard. Especailly about Franco's faces, he usually looks super hot, but he just looks woreout here. But anyways reading everyone's comments made my day. =)

[treyvlogz]

Damn I want to be an actor so bad.

[MossB2020]

James Franco is high !

[16repoman]

James is practicing for his role as a serial killer in General Hospital.

[WrongDogProductions]

What is Robert drinking...is that, is that a JUICE PACK?! LOL

[burgerboot]

James Franco is hilarious

[pascha120]

They should do a roundtable for Irish and British actors!

It'd be amazing to see a roundtable with actors like Daniel Day Lewis, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Ralph Fiennes, Jim Broadbent, Ian McKellen, Ben Kingsley, Bill Nighy, Michael Gambon, Anthony Hopkins, Michael Fassbender, David Thewlis, James McAvoy, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jeremy Irons, Alan Rickman, John Hurt, Patrick Stewart, Richard Armitage, Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, Alfred Molina ... the list could go and on!

[ijoden]

the best thing of this interview is James Franco's crazy looks

[BadKoopah]

Count how many times they say "Ya'know?"

[LittleJohnCrofford]

My god that interviewer on the left is an uppity little cunt

[Alkaline850]

@DoTheBrando

Er, you mean Robert Duval? Brain fart? It's cool - it's late

[SimVik91]

Thoughts: 1. Franco, normally a lovable guy with a great smile and charm, is too much of a "wanna-be-respected-and-seriou­s" here, I think you guys know what I mean. He's making a fool of himself here, really. 2. Ryan Gosling is f***in cool, Duvall as well. They wear kinda similar jackets btw. 3. That Eisenberg-guy annoys me too, weird dude.

[sadysady65]

It's really lovely that robert duvall seems so genuinely interested in the process Ryan is describing. Also Ryan asking duvall about his directing process. They should work together.

[martinberger]

what are the on ketamine?!!!!

jesus christ round table of serial killers, great actors though

[gshetty]

Is ryan gosling wearing the drive jacket in this??? Cause on conan, if you turn it upside down, it's the same color

[0nem1c]

Awww Jesse reminds me of Michael Cera.. lol. he sounds so nervous! awwww!

[theaznwonda]

This is the best! Now put up the ones from 2010, 2009, 2008! lol

[63blessed]

It looks like ryan is hiding.

[nonorandomthoughts]

thank you so much for 1: arranging this round table; 2: filming it; 3: putting up the whole hour of it:)

[shotterslife]

i guess i would feel a bit uncomfortable in the presence of james franco, he really has a gloomy countenance. colin firth seemes to be a grounded guy..i need to admit i was a little surprised by that.

what was more surprising to me is that mark ruffalo seemes to be very open and he also seemes to be a good listener without any prejudices thoughts in his face.ryan gosling is still my favourite..interesting video,thank you!

[TiggahG]

The shining was still a good movie tho!

[michikoww]

Jesse Eisenberg. Forever. I want him for Christmas.

[TheMamagirly]

Jesse Eisenberg seems really shy as a person

[Messylin]

Why does Franco stare people down like a serial killer?

[Premiess80]

@Messylin I noticed that too.lol

[InsaneRequest]

@Messylin

just tired i guess

and trying to keep awake by paying close attention

[jasonfermenter]

@Messylin At 2:50 Franco stares down his diet coke like he wants to kill it.

[Alkaline850]

@jasonfermenter

He does the same to Gosling around 17:33

"Have you seen my work in Young Hercules?" (cue trademark Franco death stare)

[musicrocks1]

@Messylin yeah... minute 51:00 is scary.. poor Jesse Eisenberg!

[audioaunderdog]

@Messylin

I know what you're sayin'...

I found it cute that Jesse and James would take a drink at the same time.

[DeathlyMasquerade]

@Messylin cause that's his killer look lol

[Peroy1]

Totally agree with Duvall on Kubrick...

[Premiess80]

@Peroy1 Yeah Stephen King couldn't stand how he changed The Shining so much.

[Iker122]

@Peroy1 that's nice.. but I totally disagree..

[Premiess80]

@Iker122 I like The Shining also dont get me wrong.

[Iker122]

@Premiess80 oh, I thought you agreed with him on the whole Kubrick thing..

[Premiess80]

@Iker122 Well I love The Shining as i'm a big Jack Nicholson & Stephen King fan. And I like the way it turned out, although it is common knowledge that he was difficult to work with since he was very OCD and controlling. He was still a great director though.

[theaznwonda]

I love all these guys, except Robert Duvall seems out of place. I wouldve liked to see Jeff Bridges or Jeremy Renner

[500dolce]

awww i love jesse. is soooooo adorable and sweet.

[NightinGal89]

Does anyone know what movie he's talking about? Jesse, I mean..he says he did a movie he didn't want to do, at 20. I wonder if it was "cursed".

[NightinGal89]

that old guy what's his name Robert Duvall, indirectly said that Jesse and the rest of the actors on "the social network" did not give good performances. He keeps going on about Fincher and why he needs so many takes..I bet poor Jesse felt a bit hurt, there. I didn't quite get why he looked so upset until I listened closely to what they were saying.

[srslycurious]

0:22:54 OMG I die laughing. Duvall is like "is this punk for real?" HAHAHAHAH. Oh James stfu you are so ridiculous you don't even know. U_U

[bettybangs]

Ryan's wearing the silk jacket he gave to Conan! He must have been filming "Drive" or just finished when this interview happened. Not many guys can pull off a silk jacket.

[Hellequin246]

wasn't Ryan also too young for Lovely Bones? being a father with a 15 years old daughter? anyway i'm glad he didn't do it.

[Hellequin246]

Ryan just sitting there and looking awesome... i love him!

[Porly62]

James just being James...the force of nature he is...hilarious.

[riomikewaters]

You can see Ryan Gosling get introspective after Duvall (at 15:18) says: "Sandy Meisner used to say 'if crying means great acting, my Aunt Tilly could be another Eleonora Duse'… as opposed to a nice documentary, when you see somebody moved, they sit on it and try not to cry - and that's much more moving."

Gosling hears this and pauses (at 15:34) and processes it for about 20 seconds. He finally snaps out of it at 15:56. This is very similar to what I did upon hearing this wisdom.

[airolg23]

"Ryan what do you think about that?" AND JAMES STARTS TALKING HHAHA

[JjM91084]

@airolg23 he was just responding to robert duvall asking him if he's ever worked with a director that did 50 takes right when the interviewer asked ryan what he thought @ 0:44:45. He was answering duvall not the interviewer.

[jamesrulesmyheart]

the interviewer is a douche!

[dreams4tears]

I think they zoom in on James Franco's face while he's talking because the reactions of the other dudes is HILARIOUS.

[dreams4tears]

omg! I love how some of them look SO FREAKING BORED when other people are talking.

[heavenwithin81]

lol that piece of hair hanging on ryans forhead is bothering me

[NightinGal89]

oh, my..what a fine collection of actors."blushes"

[sunnysummerheaven]

omg james franco totally had his rape face on when jesse was talking

[JameelaTiffanieMejia]

@sunnysummerheaven ahahahahahahahahah!!!

[THISandTHISandTHAT]

James Franco talks so fucking loud! LOL.

Look at Jesse, sitting there playing with his glass so cutely. I love both these guys and well, of course Ryan is gorgeous.

[elizabethdanger1]

was this for real or a joke? i really hope james franco was joking

[THISandTHISandTHAT]

@elizabethdanger1 Sadly, he isn't. And I think people need to stop saying "he's just trying to be funny", 'cause um...clearly he's not. I mean, you can still like a person even if they have flaws, but pretending that the flaws don't exist is just foolish. Yes, James is a pretentious, arrogant, overly proud person, but I STILL LIKE him. See how mature and easy that was?

[elizabethdanger1]

@THISandTHISandTHAT

first off, i completely see where you are coming from. but i am not so sure about the people covering his flaws bit. i mean, is it actually possible that such an intelligent man would portray himself to the public as this? he's too smart to do that to himself. so maybe its just for a laugh, but some cant see it 4 what it is

[THISandTHISandTHAT]

@elizabethdanger1 Good question, but I literally watch all his interviews, (and the FunnyOrDie vids that he's done) so trust me, I know when he's doing something for laughs. Also, as good of an actor as he may be, he can never seem to keep a straight face when he's "joking". I also don't think he would run the risk of coming off as an asshole just for the lulz. He was really being himself and ppl find it hard to believe that he's truly this way. He's proud of his accomplishments I guess? Lol.

[srslycurious]

@THISandTHISandTHAT aha, the fact that you put "joking" in quotes made my day. and yeah, franco talking here is cringeworthy... absolutely cringeworthy. in the best way though, like watching a horror movie while on a rollercoaster lol

Colin is bored !
