Pure gold.
HELLO
Rupert looks like he could be Orlando Bloom's brother.
Oh yeah…they should totally do a movie together in which they play bros! (Rupert did mention the Hobbit, rt?! 😉)
More like his “Friend”..
Gorgeous 💋!
@@bellaventimiglia35 I was thinking the same thing! I wonder if they've ever been in the same movie.
@@Mamajoanie123 Kimmel’s unfunniness is equally matched by Biden’s idiocy. These two deserve each other.
What a handsome, humble human. All the best to this young man.
I really like this guy. Was t sold on him as the GI but he crushed the part. Hope we see more of him.
Yeah I was worried it was going to be like he was agent 47 but the lines he got were just bad but as the grand inquisitor he’s awesome
Oh yes, the man is a perfect Grand Inquisitor - and that accent of his is WOW! 🤦♂️👏
No he didn't wtf are you on about
So genuine, talented, humble, with a great sense of humor ❤️ I love that he is being cast in big franchises. He deserves the best after what the Homeland people did to Peter Quinn character
yes
I agree 100%
I love Rupert Friend. He's my all time favorite.
As a Star Wars fan i'm so glad we have Rupert on it now
I love when someone can riff with Jimmy. It doesn't need to be perfect just fast. Rupert does a great job!
Yeah he’s a bit daft but his giggle is cute and we like him for that
Great actor, he is so different from the roles he play. I couldn't see an ounce of Peter Quinn in him. There is so many actors that just sound an act like themselves in every role they take.
Agreed! George Clooney, Charlie Sheen, etc 👎🏾
Quinn was a phenomenal role. I cried when he was shot. 🥲
@@babilabub Me too. I was so annoyed.
@@ameliacraiig4193He would be a great Captain Hook
What a genuine sincere and nice guy! With a good sense of humor.
Love Rupert! What a sweet guy with great sense of humor and quick wit
Someone should probably tell him that his character surviving isn’t really a spoiler. The canon depends on his survival.
@Deep Cut Reactions Exactly, a good 70% of Obi Wan Viewers are fresh and haven't seen Star Wars in decades. Heck my mother and cousins are watching it and they haven't seen Disney's Shitrilogy at all.
@Deep Cut Reactions bro i haven't even seen rebels solo or ep 9 and i knew his character was obviously going to survive, whats grand about being killed 2 eps in and by reva of all ppl, oh no spoiler kanan knda kills him/he kills himself because there are things far worse than death
@Deep Cut Reactions … you do realize that when you capitalize the "u" in uber you're no longer referring to "extreme" fans, right? It becomes the rideshare company name. I mean.. you do know that, correct?
Ahhhh I LOVE this guy so much. Peter Quinn was a masterpiece. unforgettable.
He was phenomenal as Peter Quinn.....
He was an out and out genius as Vasily Stalin. I nearly pissed myself laughing at his performance. Granted, I'm old, so getting me to piss myself is a low bar.... but still.
Love your comment... and totally agree! :D
PHENOMENAL
I admire how firm Rupert Friend stands by not spoiling anything for what's to occur next as The Grand Inquisitor in Obi-Wan Kenobi or more importantly, for the fans. He did a great job portraying Agent 47 in Hitman: Agent 47, just sucks that they didn't give that film sequels!
That film is utterly appaling
His version of the Grand Equisitor is so fun. I love his menacing nice tone.
Great interview, he’s a lovely dude and absolutely nails the GI! Would make a great Bond.
Glad someone agrees !
DEFINITELY THE BEST BOND!!
More people need to realize this fact
He's alive in Rebels, so yeah...
And I first saw Rupert Friend in Joe Wright's Pride and Prejudice.
Rupert Friend was hated on for his look in the trailer but bro killed it as GI and honestly because of how annoying Reva is he should’ve been the “main” villain with the twist villain in episode 3 or 4, love his performance
What does it mean Reva is annoying? I watched the series and she is terrifying and not a team player, tormented and vengeful, but annoying?
@@AloutkaKazawa yes annoying
@@Stringer13ell I asked a question, not expected to hear the statement that is utterly subjective. Why is she annoying, pray?
@@AloutkaKazawa (whisper) why do you talk like that. (Shout) WHY DO YOU TALK LIKE THAT?
He was terrifying in "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." Great actor.
Love Rupert friend. Hope he gets the Bond job.X
Brilliant show and Jimmy great as always Rupert a nice man and good actor
I loved him as Agent 47!
We missed out on him being cast over other Brits his age. To bad he didn't her big roles like Orlando and Sam Clafin. He's charming and confident.
Rupert is so handsome and funny 😆
Such a handsome Lad. 🌿🫒🌿
Rupert .. the only reason I’m watching Homeland still ! ❤️
Me too!
Rupert is the man. I love Rebels and it's so dope to see him as the Grand Inquisitor in Obi Wan.
Guys he's 100% still alive btw! He shows up in Rebels so he has to be unless he's a clone but I don't think so!
knowing disney they won't
we actually don't know until we see the rest of the season.
@@ceno10101 Yeah obviously but they even came out and said they know the continuity so that implies he's alive to me! S
"Shows up" The guy is the main antagonist for the first season XD
Rupert mastered his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
He's not Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Yea he's unrecognizable as Kenobi, amazing actor
Uh...Ewan MacGregor plays Obi-Wan. 😊
He was a total badass on Homeland!!! BAAADAASSS🔥!
The Best
This guy's great, I'm glad he's the Grand Inquisitor in Kenobi.
(here's hoping he's not dead.) "Two stomach's," and all.
Rebels continuity of Canon is important, of course. 👍
Grand inquisitor gets stabbed
This guy: ‘Tis but a scratch
I love Rupert's laugh. It's genuine...and sexyyyy!
I'm currently watching his new show and it's so nice to know he's the exact opposite of his character on it.
Fun Fact about the leprosy joke at the end: Leprosy is actually airborne, so it doesn't matter if you shake hands with an infected individual. Close quarters conversation is enough for exposure. That being said, infection rates from exposure are much lower than commonly believed.
Still a scary disease, though, so it's understandable.
Fantastic job with the Grand Inquisitor!
Great interview. Peter Quinn was a great character on homeland. I look forward to seeing Rupert in Star wars. No clue he was British.
He’s in episode 5 and 6 according to IMDB. he’s listed in episode 1/2 5/6. This week the Grand Inquisitor is back.
What a lovely gent! 🥰
Wow! I had no idea that was him in the show!
He is so composed!
What a charming guy.
Wonderful actor, hope his career really blows up after this
He's had a great career. I loved him in "The Libertine" alongside Johnny Depp.
Me too. Liked agent 47 hitman it's a guilty pleasure. Would like to see him play james bond
The Leper said "Keep the tip" :)
I love Peter Quinn, cool and badass. Rupert Friend is so talented.
It's not a spoiler he survives, the guy is very active in Star Wars Rebels, which takes place four years later
loved this interview! i was surprised when they cast Rupert .. because im a Pride and Prejudice fan... and SW.. he seems respectful and cool
He obviously survives because the grand inquisitor was in star wars rebels and that takes place 4 years after the Kenobi show!
the fact they've already broken canon multiple times in the show has me worried.
@@bearwithsunglassesandicecr5856 well, something like changing Depa Bliaba’s lightsaber colour in the Bad Batch wouldn’t really compare to decanonising an entire 4-season show 😅
@@bearwithsunglassesandicecr5856 In what other ways have they broken it?
@@ilikemandalorians9861 Did they change it from attack of the clones-bad batch or did they change it from the Kanan comics? I can't remember her color in the comics. Also in the comics she had to take a sabbatical for mental health reasons and then took Kanan/Caleb as her Padawan and could have lost her lightsaber inbetween Attack of the clones and the comics
@@micahhill7503 I think from the Kanan comics, from green to blue. I haven’t paid attention to what she had in AotC 🤔
Losing it seems reasonable
Great makeup. I actually had no idea it was him.
I really loved his character. I need more.
Love this actor ❤
Rupert is such a beautiful person. Love him
he looks different with hair. Agent 47 with hair
That was actually enjoyable
Surprised Jimmy didn't mention he was Keira Knightly long term partner. I presume It was an off topic.
Keria Knightly was in Star Wars too, as Padme decoy called Sabé in The Phantom Menace. She was 12 years old at the time. Now Keria and Rupert have played parts in Star Wars. One fooling Obi Wan Kenobi, the other chasing Obi Wan Kenobi.
They broke up many years ago; both are married to other people now. Why mention it?
So happy to see Rupert in Star Wars. Now, Disney, can you please find a huge role for Rupert’s pal, Tom Mison?
Rupert friend has the same vibe as Willem the foe.
Glad rupert is gettin his stateside come up.
It was interesting how Disney made Rupert Friend into Rupert Fiend.
Okay so what is the deal with the Grand Inquisitor.....? ....I am happy that he knows about the Pauan (ik spelling is wrong) having two stomachs....not the most important thing, but I am waiting for what they do with it...Anyway I liked Rupert's take on it..The Grand Inquisitor is a really imp villian
He shows up 4 years down the timeline in Star Wars Rebels, so we already know he survived.
I had no idea the Grand Inquisitor used to be a Jedi. Fascinating.
@@Gesundheit2000 I've seen some people theorize that the version in Rebels is a clone.
@@kashmir6672 it's my understanding all Inquisitors are former younglings, padawans, or fully trained Jedi. I'm certain Reva is one of the younglings seen at the beginning of the first episode. One of my guesses as to why she hates Obi Wan is because maybe she somehow knew he was alive and expected him to rescue her and the others.
@@katstorm13 Thanks for the lesson and the theory. I should have been paying closer attention.
He was Hitman: Age 47. Amazing how well brits do American accents.
Love this great actor sweet humble and handsome ❤
He needs to comeback as Agent 47 and do another HITMAN movie ASAP! It's long overdue.
Great interview!
He did really good has the grand inquisitor
“Some how The Grand Inquisitor returned”
I hope his character had spf 2000 sunscreen when he visited tatooine
Liked him since Agent 47, glad to see he’s killing again. Quite literally
4:55 when Kimmel watches Rebels but Rupert doesn't
So unexpectedly funny!
“They didn’t try to touch your lightsaber did they”
Be the next double O seven please 🙏
"I escape" ;)
He played an awesome Hitman.
In love with this man ❤
Tom Holland would've stepped into all the traps without even knowing it :P
I love Rupert
Yeah! Of all things - he gets 'ended' by a Lightsaber like that? Too funny the 2 stomach theory! I guess, the Grand Inquisitor will rise once more. "So in the next episode, you are, um..." Nice, amiable chat !
He's magnificent.
Goodbye little man reference in the boy in striped pjammas
I really wish they would’ve told his background on homeland.
He was quite funny. Now I have to watch the show.
save yourself
@@dredog710 Nah shows great so far
@@JaceEncinas episode four was…a bit slapstick. Even considering some of the things in the first six movies. But otherwise yeah.
Awesome 👏
In May 2024, it was announced that he would appear in a 2025 Jurassic film.
Watch "The Young Victoria" (2009 movie) with Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend - they're both brilliant in it along with other fantastic English actors
He is the leading actor in Anatomy of a Scandal on Netflix. Great series.
You have to see Rupert in Mrs Palfrow at the Clairmong. He is absolutely beautiful.
Look Peter Quinn and hitman 🤗🇹🇹
Jimmy Kimmel rupert friend being star wars episode 2 attack of the clone and episode 4 a new hope awesomeness job interview
Why is Jimmy's desk slightly elevated in relation to his guest? Is it so he can look down on them?
This dude can be Orlando Bloom's brother.
The dude is Rupert Friend. He played the role of Peter Quinn in Homeland.
@@Rossana7788 I know who he is. I watched the show. I was also in the show. He just looks so much like Orlando.
Rupert Friend is so much better looking. Those absolutely gorgeous eyes!
He’s in Rebels- he’s coming back.
Grand inquisitor you sneaky man.
"Just the tip" xD
that was double entendre
When are you going to interview Hayden
"Hello."
"Goodbye."
He’d make a great Batman ngl!
if kimmel did 10 more seconds of research about the gi then he would know that he was in star wars rebels
He sounds exactly like Jeremy Vine!
Would it be marvellous if Rupert Friend played Doctor Doom in the MCU
Former Temple Gaurd. Get it right
