Thank you for watching my interview! If you liked it, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! I’m posting new celebrity interviews every week!
You're a fantastic interviewer man. Keep it up.
He should have won the Oscar for American History X
nazi portrayals werent getting nothing at the time, even ralph fiennes was robbed in schinders list.
Nope
He was good
But nah
He was nominated for Primal Fear, American History X, and Birdman.
The first two he absolutely should have won.
Primal Fear was the reason he became my favorite actor as a child. I understand he can be difficult to work with but if the end result is a phenomenal performance IMO it's worth the hassle.
He couldn't sell the climax worth a shit. I remember thinking "Why is he laughing at this right now? Shouldn't he be sad?"
@@jungleboy1, Schindler's list is a very important movie, but has some bigger flaws. Some acting is really wooden.
Always been one of my favorites. Edward Norton is so versatile, he can be a villain, a regular guy, a weirdo, a gangster, he can be silly and sweet. He's so good.
Why is that so good? He's supposed to be an actor.
Have you seen The Score ? He plays a thief pretending to be a very kind yet "simple" guy to take advantage of situations. A very crisp movie itself also.
@@potterj09 I'd imagine it's good.
But like when a book is called "well written" that's just something I'd expect.
@@VictorMaxol It also had DeNiro and Brando. It was filmed in Montreal. Need anything else ? haha
@@potterj09 Hold the DeNiro, is the Brando fresh? I never touch Old Brando.
Edward Norton Should Have Won The Best Actor Oscar For His Performance In American History X, 55 and Looking Really Well Hopefully an Oscar Somewhere In His Future 🤞
Oh yes he should have won one of my many favorite actors he's so smart
Yess!!
25th Hour is grossly underappreciated and Norton is wonderful in it.
That's one I've heard of but never seen. Only heard positive things about it. Will definitely check it out.
25th Hour has ALWAYS been one of my favorite Edward Norton movies! The “F You” scene in it is one of the all time greatest scenes!!!
Facts! An absolute Masterpiece in my opinion.
@peterstachura8595 That's still the greatest monologue ever.
Spot-on comment!
This movie is absolutely one of the top 10 movies i've ever seen, it's a masterpiece and Edward Norton is a god damn genious.
Edward Norton although recognized is truly underrated and forgotten. So many s hitty actors working and winning Academy awards and actors like him don´t do anything.
He doesn't work just to work. He chooses carefully. That makes him quite different from the others.
He's a great actor, however he's notoriously a giant douchebag. Hard to get accolades when you're not very well liked...and that's saying something regarding how many douches are in the industry.
Agree and no social media doesn't get caught up in the crap
I can’t believe Primal Fear was his debut movie.
Wait what?!? He was terrifying and so good playing both sides in that
@ Yeah, that’s what I mean. As a debut film, he was amazing!
Yeah, that's definitely awesome. I enjoyed the book too.
Classic!
Fuckin classic movie! ❤
norton is a legend
@@rjmacready9828 no way, but he was great actor long Time ago
Def a legend
💯
A new American History X interview with Ed Norton??
Wow!! A dream come true!!
The role of his lifetime!!
One of the best actors ever!!
Can't believe he is 55 today.
1 of the most brutal scenes in history
mmmmmm, there's others.
@@MRMR-MRMR-MRMR that's why I said 1 of...
@@Boosh43 Read it too fast.
That's why I think a smiling Ed Norton thumbnail with that title is inappropriate.
The curb stomp sends shivers through my teeth just thinking about it.
American History X is one of my all time favorite movies ever made . Edward Norton did a phenomenal performance as Derek Vinyard in American History X and i wished he had won an Oscar for his performance .
He is one of the most versatile and underrated actors there is. I love everything Ed Norton does.
If Rounders was made in the last 10 years, he would've won an Oscar for playing Worm. No too long now, I don't think so anyway, till he gets one.
I remember watching this movie around maybe 19 years old in 1999 & I worked for a Hollywood video chain store as a shift manager & took this home one night & just HAD to watch it till the end regardless of how tired I was.
I worked for Hollywood Video in 99/2000 too 🫱🏽🫲🏾
This actor is who they've should have kept instead of mark tbh I miss Edwards hulk, the guy just knew how to give it his all and pay his characters with respect
Buffalo is so lucky to have a career
Preach! 👍
@@cf9844 not for long if he keeps acting like jar jar binks
Apparently he was very difficult to work with.
He was the main reason why those hulk movies were bad.
He demanded changes to the script and made the movies boring.
@@Move_I_Got_This-b3vmovies? He was only in one my man.
He deserved an Oscar !!!
Gifted actor for sure.
Primal Fear was still his best performance. American History X was the most impactful and the better movie. Incredible film.
At least he didn't talk about Fight Club.
Underrated comment. Well played, sir
That's because he knows what the first and second rules are...
What's is fight club?
@@Verbal_Kent we can't talk about it.
@@DR4WZrule number 1
My favorite actor, my celebrity crush since I was 15 years old 😅
Same! This guy is so hot-not the typical generic Hollywood look.
@@shereewang9703 same
In the movie, Derek stops being racist simply because he gets to befriend a black guy. There's no epiphany, just time and respect doing their part. Daryl Davis actually changed the minds of KKK members. Listen to his enlightening podcast with Joe Rogan. Lessons online mobs could learn from. American History X is a masterpiece thanks to Ed's mind. We should be thankful he butted heads with the director considering the overwhelming result! Respect!!
That’s not entirely true. The epiphany was when he realized all these hard core skinheads in prison were compromising their principles by dealing drugs with the black prison gangs. That’s when he departed from the skinhead group and ended up getting raped for it in the shower. He was trying to uphold his purist racist principles and he became disillusioned because the rest of the skinheads had relative racist standards. He even says in the movie, “it’s all bullshit” because nobody demonstrated pure adherence to the principles they espoused, otherwise as pure Aryans they would refuse to partner with black prison gangs simply out of principle. I agree that it could have been portrayed better but the bones of his disillusionment was definitely there.
@@kurtsmith2699I agree, great assessment.
I interpreted his mindset change as trading love of “race” preference for his family. When he was in the white power gang, it destroyed his family. He was trying to honor /emulating part of his dead father, by being in the gang (dinner scene).
He eventually realized (with the help of the black Principal) that by destroying his family he wasn’t honoring his father at all. So when he got out he attempted to pull his brother out and strengthen his family, thus truly honoring his father’s memory.
That’s my additional take on the movie. It’s a deep movie with lots of layers for discussion and interpretation. Quite genius.
"has anything you've done made your life better" was the epiphany
@@kurtsmith2699 Of course hollywood had to end the movie by coming up with a way to brainwash the viewers to reject how based he was up till then.
@@Larry-zv8li exactly.
Norton is so underrated. Drama comedy doesn’t matter. So talented. Esp that role in primal fear
I actually think he’s a criminally underrated actor in Hollywood alongside Ben Foster and Jake Gyllenhaal. 3 actors who are, for whatever reason, highly overlooked.
Bro looks the exact same as he did 26 years ago back in 1998..amazing genetics
Hes a legend. Hollywood almost cancelled him. Crazy. He's aged well. Still looks the same and I miss him being in movies...
Dude... U Always Look Forward to Your Interviews!!! U Always Have the Best Questions No One Asks... ❤ 🎬 🎞 🎥 🎦 📽
Incredibly powerful and underrated film…..it was a very hard subject but excellent film
The single greatest scene ever released from a mainstream movie studio.
That intro is epic
Plus the list of talent interviewed, subscribed
American History X and Primal Fear are my favorite movies of his.
Ed nortons finest film.
The best hulk/banner by a mile.
Totally agree!
@@dennisang1432 ed was great but bill bixby was hands down the best banner
@There's nothing like the original but between the two in the MCU, Norton is so much better than Ruffalos.
@@dennisang1432 I also cant stand mark ruffalo he's a pandering left wing woke activist.
@@Crusader1978 I understand.
lols at curbstomp comedy. "Say Goodnight !!!!!" *Booiinnggg!!!* ... and contagious giggling ensues haha 🤣
I don't know if I knew that was Edward Norton that was THAT guy in the movie.
That curb-stomping scene still disturbs me whenever it pops into my head to this day; I can't image the pain the people that actually had that done to had to go through. it's sickening, traumatizing, and very disturbing.
Such a great movie and he was perfect in it.
American history x is a must watch
25th hour should be talked about more as well. This cat is one of the greatest actors of all time
Dude is one of the best actors
If he had DiCaprios role in django we would have seen something nit seen since that role
This guy is a fantastic interviewer.
He looks good! Veddy good
Ed Norton's performances were always interesting, intense, transformative, and the roles MEANT something. As someone who's acted for 30+ years (but I'm a nobody), those are the kinds of roles you really want to portray. Otherwise, think about it: *no one will care.*
25th hour is my favorite Norton flick
Edward is such a cool dude..great questions too
Fight Club and this movie are my top five of all time.
Great interview. Love all the expensive mics but you're still distorting the audio!
Iconic scene.
Edward is like Gary Oldman and disappears into his roles and is underused today
For anyone who hasn't seen it, do yourself a favor and check it out. Excellent movie and still relevant 26 years later.
He's worth over 300 million. He's an incredibly talented and wise person. Seems pretty nice too.
Hulk smash,Hulk curb stomp, Hulk Green 💚
This guys has barely aged!! 55!!
He looks real good.
He has gotten some subtle work done.
@@Bale4Bondwhatever you say 🙄
He’s aging beautifully
Gotta be diets if it’s not surgery. They can afford the best nutritionists, chefs, supplements money can buy. By they I mean top tier holllywood A list who seem to age like fine wine. Good for him, great actor and appears to be a genuinely humble guy.
Ed Orion is a fantastic actor.
My favorite two films Edward Norton has made is American History x & fight club
American History X to Fight Club in a year! Crazy physical transformation.
"... the humility of the artifice ..."
Just let that linger.
Not to be pretentious, but seeing 'American History X', while I already "enjoyed" it when they showed it in like high school (yes, they did that), it really made me appreciate what "good filmmaking" is. That movie is basically "perfect", and it baffled me that it's actually a movie that went through a troubled production. It's like, how can the production be such a mess, with people disagreeing, then some people taking over and others later disowning it, and yet the result be so fantastic. - It's a miracle it turned out the way it did, but it's made because people had a vision or went for what they thought they had to do, and just made it happen. It's an actual piece of art. Again, not meant in a pretentious way, but in that it's so honest and not made as like a very commercial product to please anyone but those who wanted to just make a thing they thought they had to make.
And this still happens today, this is not like "it used to be better" or some crap, but it's still kind of a rarity and especially this film is so special in how it came to be. It's a highly appreciated film if you ask most people, but at the same time I think it's still underappreciated in terms of its background. - In any case, it will always be top-tier on my list. - And speaking of James Mangold for the actual movie they're promoting here, I think '3:10 to Yuma' is also up there and special in its own right. For different reasons, but definitely in that ballpark of special films with integrity.
It's great but not perfect. They made his character very weak at the end.
@@NaturalizationAct1790 How so?
@@jpupz They use a tactic of disclosing truth and then have the audience follow his way of thinking of being remorseful and regretful at the end so they disregard all his previous truthful points. The message at the end of the movie teaches the audience to not believe the truth because now it's considered part of when he was being wrong when he really wasn't.
@@NaturalizationAct1790 "Truth." 😂 You're either a white supremacist yourself or one of those Great Replacement conspiracy theory weirdos. Sadly, the film's message was clearly lost on you.
He’s so underrated
The host needs to ease up on the filters. Dude looks AI rendered.
I think the "commercial lawyer in a suit" movie he passed on to do American History X might have been Francis Ford Coppola's The Rainmaker.
Norton is an acting legend, to bad his ego is legendary aswell...
My favorite black comedy
He needs to cameo as his incredible hulk
One of my favorite actors. He’s brilliant. Sexy too…❤
Our generation's Sean Penn but without all the baggage.
0:16 😮😂😂😂😂😅 if i were colored on that set that day
Yes 🙏🏿 so traumatizing for them
You mean “a color” on that set ?
Norton’s hulk is by far the best MCU movie. Of course marvel studios had to screw it all up, now we get… She-Hulk 🤮
Great interview...but one does not "buddy" Edward Norton!
I think hes talking about turning down devils advocate
Dang❤
Edward Norton is a direct descendant of Pocahontas ❤😮
One of the best actors of our time, I haven’t seen a poor performance from Edward. American History X fucked me up as a kid and he was electric in that
A reformed neo-Nazi recommended this movie to me. Norton blew me away. The sounds from that scene made me sick to my stomach. He was terrifying, but the road to redemption was inspiring. He's a master at his craft.
Hope Ed will be in good movie soon...
Glass Onion was great!
@zackarydecicco3919 Really? Ok I will check this, but for me Knives Out was garbage
@@fab92n15 To be honest. If you didn’t like Knives Out, you probably won’t like Glass Onion. I just think both movies are fantastic! A Complete Unknown is getting great reviews also.
@@fab92n15 I loved knives out but glass onion was rushed. It just makes no sense. It was not clever like the first one. Like for instance they did not mislead the audience so you will think someone else did it... no they just show you scenes and later just pretend that they happened differently. But it´s not like in smart movies where you rewind and think "oh dang... how did I miss that?". No... it´s just really a different scene. It´s like asking you during a magic card trick "Is the heart ace your card?" and then you say "ehm... no actually it was the King of sp..." and they interrupt you with "No it was heart ace. You just remember it wrong." and all this while you´re still holding the card in your hand. -.-
@@zackarydecicco3919 Like an onion, that movie made me cry. Horrible film.
Wow I never realised he stomped on a rubber head, makes sense though.
Did you think he stomped on a real head?
@ Yeah I figured a stuntman took one for the team.
Lol
Damn lmao. Glad you asked that first question lol
He's the better Bruce Banner.
What happened to him ? Can't remember a recent good movie with him. 25th hour is my favourite.
You guya has to have Norton smiling in the thumbnail with that title.
😅
OMG the curb stump scene...💀💀...traumatized my 17 years old ass for days!!!
Imagine if he forgot
The raucheman? What did he say at 2 minutes ?
The movie his people wanted him to do was probably "The Rainmaker."
They may have wanted him to do it, but it conflicted with promoting The People vs. Larry Flynt.
He was at the New York Film Festival release of The People vs. Larry Flynt on October 13, 1996. The Rainmaker was filmed from October 7, 1996 to February 6, 1997.
The Oscar’s is all a fix… if it was real this guy would have had one years and years ago 🤷 this and fight club are insane pieces of cinema
Ha asking Ed Norton about not listening to stuff is funny given his rep in the 90s.
Incredible hulk gets so much hate, such a great movie with an amazing sound track.
Ed is such a good actor
Hmm, it would've been quite a different film if they kept it that way, with Edward Norton's character trampling on the head of the victim and then laughing for five minutes, right?
His hairpiece isn’t fooling anyone
What his natural hair 😂
@ lol it’s a hull blown hair piece. He went bald like 20 years ago and has been wearing pieces since
@@BudFuddlackerwhatever you say 🙄
Great role and his involvement and subsequent take over of the film made it more palatable to general audiences , he did screw Director Tony Kaye over.
Is that not michael malice?
His facelift and hair plugs look good actually
Or you mean his natural hair and face 😂
lol I can’t believe their actually talking about this. What an awkward back half to an interview
Who's they? You always say that, ain't no one pulling you anywhere dude, just say times up. Believe me, your guests will be just fine.
You don’t know how junkets work, do you?
He should have been the hulk in avengers not mark
His character was so based until they ruined it by making him weak at the end.
What was so based about him being a neo-Nazi?
@ He was honest and truthful, a man of honor. Labeling him with made up slurs doesn’t change that fact.
While i enjoyed this clip, i gotta laugh at myself for this...for the first two minutes, i have NO IDEA who or what they are talking about, at all!!!!
Me and a old friend growing up in the 90s were huge Norton fans at the end of the 90s, guys cool, a real actor, not a model learning to act.
Edward Norton loves privacy and he is out of reach general people... Few people using Instagram I'd and Facebook page in his name and snatching money... I was targeted by them I tried many to send this news to Norton cause I am his well wisher.. if any American have ability plz tell him to get step against them...
