I'm so sorry for asking it, but I'd really love it if someone can please write what they're saying... I can't understand it. At least RDJ's part, he's the one who speaks incomprehensibly for me...
@peachie0keen She didn't really anything, but she annoyed the hell out of some people. That's where all the people are ilke "She's sooo annoying," and "Shut the fuck up Anne."
"You don't need money" - Is it just me or is $500,000 ALOT of money. I know big hollywood films are millions and millions but still. Chances are I'll never see that kind of money lol
"Look, America can hit his ass with both hands", honestly, this was exactly the impression we (at least most of us) had at that moment. Except maybe the Italians, I mean, take a look at Berlusconi. ;)
@MNico1992 This was before the Oscar nominations came out that year...she was very much in the running for her performance in Happy Go Lucky (which she won a Golden Globe award). In my opinion, she was robbed of a nomination that year...she was excellent in the film.
LOL ... Obama is a peice of shit, garbage communist... why is it no one saw that before the election, and now people are all surprised he sucks balls.. i knew it before.. its not a FUCKEN SURPRISE
Yeah I think Robert is undecided and doesn't want to be attacked by his people. But I can't really speak for him cause I don't know anything about him. I did hear he has an autograph from Bush.
@irokdaworld100 I don't think he's undecided. Once I heard (or read...not sure exactly) that he re-think about his political views while he was in prison. And that "it's not always something he says too loud at dinner tables here". Maybe that's why he seems undecided to you. But I don't know either :)
RDJ saying believing in a better future paid off? Is he referring to Obama winning? RDJ is a Republican last I checked... unless I've misconstrued this entire conversation in which case someone correct me.
He never said that he was a Republican, he said "you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal". Personally, I always took that to mean that he disliked certain Dem. policies at the time, but neither was he rampant in his support of the Repubs.
Personally, and this is in no way an attack on you, I think that agreement in political ideals should not be a precursor to respect or admiration for an individual.
But I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that he has explicitly stated himself to be Republican. Can't dig up the quote like you did there, but it was something along the lines of "I am a Conservative, it's not something I like to shout about at dinner parties." Also, my understanding was that he'd donated twice to the Bush campaign. Adds to why I thought what I thought.
Really? My bad! I've only recently become interested in him as a person, so my knowledge is patchy at best; I had no idea that he donated to the Bush campaign. You learn something new every day!
Thanks for taking the time to reply, and be so wonderfully civil about it; it was a breath of fresh air!
@ILoveAnyoneButYou haha you know what, I found the source of my supposed 'quote' and he DIDN'T explicitly state he was Republican, I kind of just superimposed that in there with my mind. My bad!
I'll be frank, I can't back any of my info on him with reliable sources, it's just I've been around the fandom a while and it's just common knowledge he's Republican, nobody really questions it or asks for proof. I personally would be thrilled if he didn't solidly identify with being a Republican.
I'm surprised at the amount of people dissin on Anne. I'm not a fan per say yet I find plenty of what she says interesting and it makes sense. It also goes along the lines of what the other people are saying. In the end I get the feeling people are thinking "WOMAN, shut up". I can only hope I'm wrong...
@mermaydlondon i never said wealthy people think that money doesn't mean anything. of course it means something it pays the bills! but those who earned that money should be able to keep it because they worked hard for it and earned it. im not saying dont donate to charity im saying dont give money to people who just sit on their butts all day waiting for a handout because that's not fair to those who earned it.
"America can hit his ass with both hands", great Robert, that's really exactly what we europeans were thinking to tell the truth :D No offence, though!
It's just, nobody could understand why you voted Bush...TWICE. That's like the Italians with Berlusconi.

absolutely love the idea of a round table like this! obviously love robert downey, frank langella, what a sophisticated talker, brad pitt even better than i thought i would.
anna hathaway is boring and uninteresting as hell.
@ramblinhaze There is simply no way that RDJ is a neo con like you see in congress. I just don't believe he could have gone that far to the right. Even the "conservatives" in hollywood are not that far right. I can't see him being for teaching creationism in schools, against gay marriage, for legalizing abortion...do you see what I'm talking about? The most conservative he could be would have to do with drugs, crime, and perhaps how to run the economy.
HAHA ok sorry for posting so much, but i've been reading through these comments. We're watching celebs talk about their views, and downey below there's a political fight going on. Teheheeeee
YES! RDJ is a republican! My life is complete! haha and i can't help but notice how everything is so serious and drab and then Robert says one clever comment and suddenly everyone's cracking up and happy. *Sigh* That's the power of the Downey. NO ONE is immune to his charm.
dear lord anne is trying to overcompensate for her youth and inexperience by talking and talking trying to sound smart. Langella is up his own ass. Let RDJ, Mickey, Brad talk!
Why do interviewers think that the public gives a shit about celebrities' political opinions? We never have, if anything it just pisses people off. I really liked Ellen Page until she decided to be a stereotypical, holier-than-thou, hipster douche. I love Mickey & RDJ.
Also, Anne...that's the dumbest story I've ever heard. "We're allowed to hope right now. We're allowed to live!" Way to place all your hope on one man.
Frank Langella: money may not be everything, but having "focus" doesn't pay the bills.
Anne Hathaway: please stop talking
and since none of them know their history, during the depression the sale of movies went up because it was a way for people to escape the reality of life and go into a fantasy type world. it's been the same during this recession so i don't think they need to worry about running out of their millions.
I asked the question in a logical and rational manner, I could have just said, "wot da fuk u on abot u fuking retard" but as an adult I think that we are all better than that and I'm sorry if you believe that a person has to be hysterical to ask a simple question, but that wasn't the case then and it isn't the case now.
@ACE0HUNTER ok whatever, you don't even know Robert Downey Jr. so why are you trying to pick a fight with someone else just because they wrote their opinion of him based most likely on his actions; why else would someone say " RDJ is an attention whore."? ummm maybe because to them he acted in that way.
@wohs145 Oh really? Mr. wohs he is so charasmatic that everyone just automatically wants to be by him and listen to him. It's not his fault he oozes sex from his pores and breathes suavity. Please consider this before you write profanity like such!
This is the one video out of all of them where I really, really liked Anne Hathaway. In all the other clips, I wanted her to just hush, but here I was like...Getting teary eyed, because I felt what she was feeling. This is the real Anne, that's the Anne I like.
And I don't care who they supported, I love allll of them. I could tell RDJ wasn't the biggest Obama fan, but I'd still have his children.
@breakthesilence916 Neither RDJ or Mickey Rouke are Obama fans that's why they kept quiet for the most part...hence the reason why I love them both!!! haha
Mickey Rourke and RDJ are the only real ones at the table. The rest of the lot are talented but they all share a distinct pomposity, especially when it comes to their politics. Its so funny to see the Obama election reaction from that point, to now when we see, without the haze of a cult of personality, that he is NOT invincible, and that his unyielding ideology has not "fixed" america.
Grown men weeping...then in 2008 it was because of history being made, now its for 4 years of shit.
@nyrmcfc6814 he hasn't even served a full term, what "shit" are you talking about? give the man an honest chance. people were judging what he'd accomplished as being "not much" only a year into his presidency. he's got 8 years of nonsense to clean up after, it's not gonna be a weekend job.
@StephLorenzo healthcare, declining economy (despite fudged job numbers), various fuckups pertaining to national security (afghanistan strategy, terrorism dollars to NYC), unnecessary reverse classicism inspired policy on tax, pick your choice. Honestly, 8 years of nonsense isn't a weekend job, but neither will the 12 years of nonsense the next poor bastard will have to clean up after. One moron and one ideologue later, this country will be worse off. You can just see it.
It isn't going to happen overnight. Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. So let's keep the negativity to a minimum, because it does nothing but harm, anyways.
Obama's election was distinctly due to the people of the US trying to distance ourselves from Bush (very understandable) but obviously, in retrospect we went too far.
4 years of shit? Really? Have we even gotten through the first one, yet? Let's not be too quick to condemn a country that, through all the "shit," remains incredibly convenient compared to a few other mentionable nations in the world.
@breakthesilence916 yes you half-wit 1/20/09-1/20/10 is calendar year I believe....
I'm not condemning the country, I'm condemning the leader
Lets See what's gotten better, healthcare was wrecked even worse, there was a minor oil spill you MAY have heard about, afghanistan is still a quagmire and our strategy is still subpar there, and despite cautious optimism in other areas of the economy, unemployment is still awful as are these new Keynesian policies that he's trying to pass
@nyrmcfc6814 and you know if Bush was still in the White House, the media would have blamed HIM for the oil spill hardcore! yet the media turns and looks the other way, and says "oh Obama is doing all he can"....bull$hit

You have to be pretty stupid to believe in evolution. That a RDJ's earthly ancestors consist of numerous ocean dwelling fish-like creatures, amphibians, reptiles, tiny four-legged mammals, and ape-like creatures... That's ludicrous. That's myth. To prove otherwise, please list and provide proof of ALL creatures In the evolutionary timeline leading up to human beings--starting with the earliest ocean dwellers and ending with human beings...

FACT: Science says only humans can produce humans. To believe otherwise is both ludicrous and UNSCIENTIFIC. Guess what that makes the monkey "science" of Darwinian evolution? Like Global Warming -- a LIE.
@ramblinhaze Yes...but that's prison and that's only one viewpoint. The truth is that we simply don't know where he stands. Not being liberal doesn't automatically make him conservative...he could be a moderate.
I consider myself a moderate and I actually consider myself conservative in terms of prison sentences. I feel as if we're too lenient with crime.
However there are many issues in which I feel more left about. That's what happens when you're in the middle.
@ramblinhaze I feel as if those were always very traditional moderate viewpoints in the first place and are pretty harmless. They don't necessarily dictate which way the man would vote or which party he would stand for. He could be a swing voter.
The only one that said anything intelligent here was Mickey Rourke (the only conservative thinker of the bunch). Well if these people arent disappointed with whats happening now, then they are totally oblivious. LOL @ talking about Biden like he is actual someone you should listen to talk.
Dude shut the fuck up. Yea Bush was a real fucking Einstein wasn't he? And the 80% creationist population of republicans in the senate. lol give me a break.
Being religious is one thing, but you have to be pretty stupid to be a creationist. I actually feel immensely sorry for those people.
i totaly loved this video it so candid and unscripted WOW i would have loved to be there in the background watching in AWE and this Q i love and the answres are awesome
I think that if there as an audience then the answers wouldn't be as honest and the people wouldn't be as comfortable talking about certain topics. True that they entertain millions of people around the world, and true that millions of people will watch this video, but its similar to the difference between saying something to someone in person or saying it through the phone or instant messaging or text.
There is no way to compare United States with Norway and Europe, mainly because of immigration and population growth. US population has increased by 60 million since 1990 and 130 million since 1960. That is absolutely amazing and not imaginable at all in Europe, where Germany is losing 150.000 people each year because of low birth rates and fast aging.
Good for Mickey at least he doesn't "pretend" to know about politics unlike these kool-aid drinking liberals..Good for him. He is an actor, not a political analyst...Anne is just annoying...stfu
how can you call mickey roarke conservative when he dresses like that -- the guys a total freak,he's beyond political issues,a force of nature is what he is -- VIVA LA MICKEY!
Yes that's true, which led to his being out of the Hollywood loop for the last 15-20 years.
Mickey Rourke prefers not say anything because he feels the political issue cannot be beaten up enough. Like flogging a dead horse, in which the dead horse represents the election cycle that occurs every 4 years and the usual ramblings that ensue. In his case, why add fuel to the fire when he just "burned his bridges, hollywood connections" long time ago. He prefers art rather than politics anytime.
I agree that most people are full of shit. But Mickey's brand of "hey Bush isn't such a bad guy!!" conservatism (which is wrong, as Bush is a a chimpanzee) is just as bad as the idiotic Obama-fellating on display.
lol no hes not look up mickey rouke kisses man or something like that he says hes for gay rights im pretty sure conservatives dont want gay rights so ya hes not conservative lol dont know where u get that shit
yea that was one interesting shit from TMZ. he didnt make out with the guy full-on lol and he looks like hes drunk. he was talking stuff from gayness to homeless brothers to albanians.
lol gotta love mick. you might be surprised how many independent conservatives out there. the middle-of-the-road type.
lol ya i jst read something where i guess he is conservative so your right i would like to know what kind of issues he conservative about clearly not gay rights lol and i read a quote that said evrybody shouldnt blame bush for everything hes one man i dont know if he supported him but rourke is right about that
Its not about making everybody even its about trying to give everybody an equal chance. The fact is wealth is hereditary and you end up with the majority of wealth in hands of minority of people. If you value a guy working hard against the odds to achieve his goal as an American virtue...- Obama is more of a true American than Bush. Obama worked his way up - Bush was handed everything to him on a plate.
That's just obvious only a moron could think Bush is a harder worker than Obama.
I think Obama's plans will work, he's right about the federal reserve, its not about making the banks richer. Infrastructure, education, alternative resources all kind of a crises right now thanks to every single president in history ignoring it.
We should be glad that this guy is finally manning up and trying to not only take care of these issues but to rebuild our economy as well.
Well I think they have as much as a right as we do to talk about this stuff. However I do think certain people in Hollywood are a bit too obnoxious about it.
"hollywood should stay...out of politics". Why? Are American citizens in Hollywood less qualified to participate in their democracy than American citizens who live elsewhere?
It's obvious Hollywood is and always has been a solidified block, a vast establishment plagued by internal and external politics, steered by bossism, patronage, hierarchy... It's the cold hard Truth, a fact of life demonstrated by the Academy in all the decades of past snubbing against actors or whomever who wont kiss ass.
Mickey Rourke won't kiss ass
If only hollywood would represent ALL SIDES of the issues, instead of the popular one. THEN it would represent every goddamn american out there.
Ummm... "It's obvious Hollywood is and always has been a solidified block..." Nope. Not so obvious. People in "Hollywood" are no more a monolith than people anywhere else. Ever hear of Ron Silver, Dennis Miller, Stephen Baldwin? And people in "Hollywood" don't have to represent every American anymore than you do. They just have to study the facts, come to a conclusion and vote. Just as all Americans should.
Exactly. Facts should be studied, nothing personal. But there is more to this than mere examination of facts.I've heard of those actors. But there are too few who are outspoken enough. Many who are either independent/conservative choose not to voice out their politics due to the fear of being blacklisted or treated differently. That is the sad truth. Politics is a dirty place to be in. It entails age-old character assassinations and too many personal agendas under the guise of a catchy slogan.
ummmm sly stallone is conservative arnold and kelsey grammar are all conservative and they arnt black listed and politics are played everywhere not jst hollywood.
Because they are all famous since the 80s. Working in a PR firm all over LA, I can tell you people clan together and categorize people when politics, religion, or sexual preference is involved. Especially today's highly charged atmosphere. No one can be impartial and i can't blame them since that's just how the system works.
It's a cutthroat business, and you're right, it IS played everywhere helluvalot, from Wall Street all the way down to Sunset boulevard
C'mon, people, I've had enough of all this cheesy stuff about Obama. Bush is gone (fortunately) and Obama's government started already. I'm on Obama's side but, people should stop treating him as if he was the Messiah! He's just a politician. He can't walk on water or turn wine into water. Politicians suck. They always find enchanting ways to screw up things. No matter if they are democrat or republican, black or white.
And, yes,Anne is annoying as hell.I never liked her, but now,I detest her

fuck these liberal assholes, yea obama some choice to start of your presidency hathaway your a fucking hoseback! you big mouth bitch, go mickey!!! fuck Obama!!
Thanks, I'm glad someone does, I'm just trying to be rational about his policies. I've seen so many people overreact on both sides, he's either "an evil socialist" or "chocolate Jesus." Its just absurd, the guy has been in office for about 5 months, wait a little bit before you judge him.
More people should be like Mickey Rourke. If you don't particiapate in something, or are not interested in the subject matter then do not feel embarassed about not making a comment.
This is why we have so many assholes running around THINKING they know something about something when in most cases they are wearing their ass for a hat.
GO MICK! Rourke is up there with DeNiro and Pacino of his generation. He was great in Diner. I am glad to see him on top of his game again.

*Droning*
"Obama is the messiah...down with Capitalism....free handouts....gimme gimme gimme...."
Affection and love my ass. All you saw were people who finally believe they "won't have to worry about anything ever again".
Anne Hathaway, you are the most disillusioned person that spoke. Hope is the last thing we need...we need ACTION. And the only action Obama will perform is raising taxes and giving MY money to some poor asshole who is going to squander it on drugs...some future.
there is nothing wrong in believing in something like u believe hell is going to freeze over and others believe in another thing but instead of explaining your reasons for saying why obama is gonna give money away it makes u seem ignorant and hateful explain your reasoning and ppl will accept your point of view so plz stop acting like an ass
I'm all about a little intelligent debate. We'll take this slowly...
First, Obama likes to use the expression, "spreading the wealth". Do you know what this means? Like, do you REALLY know what this means?
It does not mean he is going to start even out spending. It does not mean he is going to take government money and start "spreading the wealth" (Lord knows the country doesn't ahev any anyways).
We already spread the wealth you idiot, what you think taxing is?
Collecting and redistributing wealth but if it goes to something useful than it doesn't fcking matter. Infrastructure, alternative resources, health care, and education are uselful, we need to build our country from the bottom up, not wth trickle down. And trickle down is socialism for big businesses btw, they run on private investments and consumer demand, not government welfare.
WOW. You obviously don't know how to read deeper than an initial statement.
Yes, taxing is spreading wealth. More accurately, it is a means by which governments procure money to better the COUNTRY.
The problem with liberals, Obama being one of them, is they believe that taxes should be used on PEOPLE, not on the country. Poor people do not deserve my money. Just like I don't deserve some multi-millionaire CEO's money. I come from an upper lower-class family who has worked its ass
Upper lower-class...what the heck...Wow, khillsoulja, you obviously don't know what you're talking about...Obama is promoting FAIR taxation for everyone...INCLUDING Rich/Upper-class individuals who have NOT been paying their fair share...the working class
Is it me or do a few of them look bored there?

Why do interviewers think that the public gives a shit about celebrities' political opinions? We never have, if anything it just pisses people off. I really liked Ellen Page until she decided to be a stereotypical, holier-than-thou, hipster douche. I love Mickey & RDJ.
Also, Anne...that's the dumbest story I've ever heard. "We're allowed to hope right now. We're allowed to live!" Way to place all your hope on one man.

Frank Langella: money may not be everything, but having "focus" doesn't pay the bills.
Anne Hathaway: please stop talking
and since none of them know their history, during the depression the sale of movies went up because it was a way for people to escape the reality of life and go into a fantasy type world. it's been the same during this recession so i don't think they need to worry about running out of their millions.

Mickey Rourke and RDJ are the only real ones at the table. The rest of the lot are talented but they all share a distinct pomposity, especially when it comes to their politics. Its so funny to see the Obama election reaction from that point, to now when we see, without the haze of a cult of personality, that he is NOT invincible, and that his unyielding ideology has not "fixed" america.

There is no way to compare United States with Norway and Europe, mainly because of immigration and population growth. US population has increased by 60 million since 1990 and 130 million since 1960.

Yes that's true, which led to his being out of the Hollywood loop for the last 15-20 years.
Mickey Rourke prefers not say anything because he feels the political issue cannot be beaten up enough. Like flogging a dead horse, in which the dead horse represents the election cycle that occurs every 4 years and the usual ramblings that ensue. In his case, why add fuel to the fire when he just "burned his bridges, hollywood connections" long time ago. He prefers art rather than politics anytime.

Its not about making everybody even its about trying to give everybody an equal chance. The fact is wealth is hereditary and you end up with the majority of wealth in hands of minority of people.

Obama worked his way up - Bush was handed everything to him on a plate.

It's obvious Hollywood is and always has been a solidified block, a vast establishment plagued by internal and external politics, steered by bossism, patronage, hierarchy... It's the cold hard Truth, a fact of life demonstrated by the Academy in all the decades of past snubbing against actors or whomever who wont kiss ass.
Mickey Rourke won't kiss ass
If only hollywood would represent ALL SIDES of the issues, instead of the popular one. THEN it would represent every goddamn american out there.
kronos251 3 years ago 3
Ummm... "It's obvious Hollywood is and always has been a solidified block..." Nope. Not so obvious. People in "Hollywood" are no more a monolith than people anywhere else. Ever hear of Ron Silver, Dennis Miller, Stephen Baldwin? And people in "Hollywood" don't have to represent every American anymore than you do. They just have to study the facts, come to a conclusion and vote. Just as all Americans should.
Rufriben 3 years ago
Exactly. Facts should be studied, nothing personal. But there is more to this than mere examination of facts.I've heard of those actors. But there are too few who are outspoken enough. Many who are either independent/conservative choose not to voice out their politics due to the fear of being blacklisted or treated differently. That is the sad truth. Politics is a dirty place to be in. It entails age-old character assassinations and too many personal agendas under the guise of a catchy slogan.

I'm all about a little intelligent debate. We'll take this slowly...
First, Obama likes to use the expression, "spreading the wealth". Do you know what this means? Like, do you REALLY know what this means?
It does not mean he is going to start even out spending. It does not mean he is going to take government money and start "spreading the wealth" (Lord knows the country doesn't ahev any anyways).
khillsoulja 3 years ago
We already spread the wealth you idiot, what you think taxing is?
Collecting and redistributing wealth but if it goes to something useful than it doesn't fcking matter. Infrastructure, alternative resources, health care, and education are uselful, we need to build our country from the bottom up, not wth trickle down. And trickle down is socialism for big businesses btw, they run on private investments and consumer demand, not government welfare.
Sshelly34213 3 years ago
WOW. You obviously don't know how to read deeper than an initial statement.
Yes, taxing is spreading wealth. More accurately, it is a means by which governments procure money to better the COUNTRY.
The problem with liberals, Obama being one of them, is they believe that taxes should be used on PEOPLE, not on the country. Poor people do not deserve my money. Just like I don't deserve some multi-millionaire CEO's money. I come from an upper lower-class family who has worked its ass
