Canadians are great. We really like them here in Australia. We kinda see Canada as being a really cold version of Australia - the people are really friendly and kind.
***** mmm, well you sure, know where to find the soft underbelly, don't you? you think we can tell an australian from a new zealander? oh yeah, it's EASY to tell them apart, just listen for their completely different accents and look for the flag on their backpack. oh wait... did the kiwis get their ugly new flag yet?
out of context yes, but obviously he meant how does the boomerang guy stays relevant when there are super powerful individuals around. Its kind of a "why is hawkeye an avenger" question.
@@jessicamaclean5767 omg yes I don't really like parting but I'd love to go. I'll speak for Canadians, we can host if that would be easier for everyone. Though... there is a chance... my neighbour... America might see us. I swear they're a lot nicer in person... you know... most of the time... But nows not a really good time. They just got out of a really bad relationship... I try to help 'em out when I can but it's complicated. They might try to invite themselves along... So... actually, if you could park down the street. Or you know what just hop the fence in the back we'll sneak you in that way.
I like Australians and I'm a Canadian. I have visited Australia before and the people were all very warm and friendly. I feel like we have a very similar culture. I honestly feel closer to Australia than I do to the United States of America even though they are our neighbours.
same back at ya from Oz :) I think the only real difference is we like our water wet, you like it frozen, but both of us are mad on those water sports (and any sport in general)
as a Canadian , I agree. We are much more alike to an Aussie than an American. Although our wilderness is vastly different, they both have their dangers that only a real man can maintain his stance to. you have salt water crocodiles and sharks. snakes and spiders. we have wolves and cougars. Grizzlies and moose. I think it's our affinity and respect for nature that we recognize with one another. With love , from Canada.
Only the last 10 seconds were awkward because Stephen was forcing Jai into accepting what could be considered an offensive, stereotypical portrayal of an Australian. I feel like the majority of people judge Jai based on his acting career rather than who he is as a person. I loved him in Spartacus and Suicide Squad, the interview's i've seen of him show that he's willing to share anything and everything with a great sense of humor. He's a genuine dude at heart, godfather to the late Andy Whitfield's children, got a tattoo in memorial and supports the United Service Organization. Despite the fact that no actor has ever remarked having a problem with him, i personally think he's a nice guy, not stupid or awkward as some claim. Let's not all jump on the bandwagon, look into it first. One interview doesn't cut it, it's Stephen after all, he makes everything cringey.
So insulting to ask him to do an American accent. In every film I've seen him in he played an American, Suicide Squad I thought he was faking the accent until I looked him up. Shows SC doesn't know who he is interviewing
@@jeffreycheng6637 I wouldn’t say tipping that’s just an American North American thing uk don’t do it aswell but u can compare healthcare it’s the same cuz it’s free
It's funny, cause as a Canadian I like Australians because it's like they are Canadian, only a bit rowdier. Plus Aussies can keep up with us when drinking. Most Americans I have met tap out and call a cab after casual drinking.
maybe hes bored of interviews after constantly doing them these guys do hours of interviews and press do you know draining that would be spending half a day answering the same questions constantly with zero time to relax?
Yep that's a big factor of course. But there seems to be some unknown/unspoken bond we have together that attracts us to one another and leaves the Americans and British behind.
He's holding the Boomerang backwards when he's showing Stephen how to throw it. Maybe it works that way too but in Australia we're taught to throw it with the end points forward.
Yeah, but it's more of a quantity vs quality situation. He's in a lot of shitty movies. Actually, he's almost exclusively in shitty movies. Die Hard 5, sucked ass Divergent Series, sucked ass Terminator Genysis, sucked ass Jack Reacher, sucked ass Suicide Squad, currently at 33% on the tomato meter so it will most definitely suck ass
My best friend is Canadian we met in India only for 2 days, 30 years later she is Godmother to my daughters and lives in Australia with her husband, and her father is Australian both her parents retired and then moved to here.. Also my nephew is married to a Canadian they met in Europe while on different tours, we've probably got more in common with Canada besides it's a great place to visit.
Why is everybody saying that he is bland and weird? He is probably just nervous because there are 100 of people watching and staring at him talked. If there are 100 of people looking at me, I will probably act awkward too.
In the animation "Batman - Assault on Arkham" (which is actually just a suicide squad movie) Harley Quinn calls him Captain Kangoroo, too. So when Stephen said it, it made me chuckle. ^^
despite all people hating him i really think he will shine as cpt boomerang in the suicide squad. i think he will finally find his footing in this role, i am willing to bet he will steal the show
You're Batman, are you not? Your profile pic is. And the creator of Batman specifically said it was inspired by Aboriginal boomerangs for his batarang lol
well its out now and nope. his performance was almost as forgetable as this interview. seems like he was not into it. probably wasnt. the only reason he was cast is cause tom hardy couldnt do it and he looked enough like him.
I live in Montreal, so Aussies tend to be few and far between here, even in our Anglo community, but I seem to have a magnet and attract them all LMAO. They're so fun to be around! I can attest to Canadians being more like Aussies than Americans in my case for sure.
I heard a lot about Jai Courtney being the blandest guy there is, but I was willing to give him a chance. But this interview... it's like there's a void behind his eyes. Awkward and kind of unsettling.
He's actually a pretty typical Australian, but it's also compounded with the fact that he's spent his entire adult life pumping iron, drinking protein shakes, and punching people in the face. Natural charm is pretty rare among these types of actors.
Wow... I love his comment about Australians liking Canadians. Australians are proud, so saying they find Canadians a little more like themselves is high praise. But boy, talk about obviously side-stepping the question about what Australians think of Americans right now. I hate to imagine what the answer to that question must be.
Something like: "A bunch of racist*, gun-loving maniacs voting for a racist, gun-loving maniac that looks and sounds like that 'YOU'RE FIRED' guy. The pompous wanker that was on reality TV but surely isn't their presidential nominee because that'd be f*cking ridiculous." *Australia's casually-racist and brushes indigenous issues under the carpet, except the police don't tend to shoot people when they get nervous (helps not to have guns everywhere).
Actually, saying he likes Canadians when asked to judge Americans is as confrontation/direct an answer as could be mustered. It is an answer, which is why everyone laughed so hard.
Dane Potmo I agree. That pregnant silence and his frozen smile followed by his tangential remark about Australians liking Canadians sent the very clear message that the true answer to the question Colbert actually asked would be more unpleasant than he wanted to say or the audience would want to hear.
Aussies and Canadians are on par being the funniest, most genuine, good looking and laid back people on the planet :) About the only difference is Canadians produce the second best soldiers in the world, right after ANZACs ( are you kiwis happy now? ). If Americans could just chill out a bit more, you know, maybe play with guns a little less..they'd be Canadian too ;)
To the people getting super pissed at this guy, calling him an uptight douche, that is honestly how most aussies act anyways, except here it's called being laid back and chill
Umm acting douche isn’t really laid back and chill it’s called sarcasm he didn’t look serious saying anything Brit’s get it laid back and chill is not taking anything seriously unlike every American in the comments saying that jai is Rude or even the interviewer not getting it
It's so true though haha so many Aussie go to Canada because it's close enough to America but isnt LOL since it has the same healthcare as Australia LOL
Peanut Beak It takes 2 people to have a conversation. It doesn't matter how skilled Colbert is if the other guy doesn't want to say anything. The fact he got through that interview without making it too awkward is credit enough to Colbert.
I am so sick of celebrities talking about Trump. Move on. And Jai did just that, thank you Jai. You are beautiful!! XOXO I like how he didn't really get on the trash talk band wagon. Move on people. I mean if he's against or for Trump... whatever... he didn't get on that wagon. Thank you.
Hello fan .I have . Quite of your handful comments on my post I just have to go out of my way to appreciate your unweaving support and good wishes and you know your comment hasn’t gone unnoticed... keep supporting me 🌺
he did for sure from an aussie perspective he wanted to punch him 99% of the time he got more fed up when he would say that america is like Australia when aussies aren't ignorant whatsoever its like saying canada is like america
watching this again after reading an interview in which he said he doesn't like it when people try to do impressions of the Aussie accent and it makes much more sense why he looks annoyed when Stephen did it.
Alot of people talking about how awkward the interview was. I gotta agree, but it's not all Jai's fault. Yes, he's clearly not a complete extrovert so interviews don't seem to come naturally to him. But it's also about the questions. There's more to Australia than frigging boomerangs and crocodile dundee and "throw a shrimp on the barbie". If Americans were going on chat shows and being interviewed on tired old cliche subjects that stereotyped Americans, they might get sick of it after a while too.
A bit rich coming from a person whose country elected Justin Trudeau as PM, eh? Oh wait I completely forgot, at least Justin Trudeau has a deep understanding of Quantum Mechanics though, right? XD lol, at least when the Donald says something dumb our media hounds him on it instead of playing into it.
As an American, we still barely remember you Canadians even exist. So compare/contrast away friendly neighbor, we still won't be paying attention collectively.
Huh, probably because Canadians aren't on the news everyday because of another mass shooting of civilians or police, or drawing massive attention of the wrong kind for being horribly close to putting a self serving megalomaniac into office. I'd vote Trudeau on the premise of uniting my country and fixing our horrible First Nations issues before ever voting for some bigot like Trump or a greasy crook like Clinton.
Yeah don't kid yourself, even if Canada was on the verge of electing a megalomaniac like Donald Trump the world would likely pay very little attention. Cute attempt to make your countries lack of international attention out to be due to its lack of negative qualities though. Childish, but not surprisingly so as that kind of attitude is surely the one that led to lil' Trudeau's election. If you wanna be on the news so bad just wait a few years, Justin's ridiculous determination to bring in Syrian migrants will place you guys in the international spotlight just like France or Germany recently. If you think maybe his well informed cabinet, whom he filled with the best and the brightest would be able to make him see the folly of his ways, you are sadly mistaken. Instead of appointing the "best and the brightest," he dictated 50% of his cabinet had to be female. Know why? "Because it's 2015" (If you ever run across a "because its the [current year]" joke now you know where it came from). Great job Canada, matters of your countries highest importance are being decided on the kinds of ideals a college freshman would make. Consider yourself lucky no one pays you any attention.
Harp Off Canada is an "other" country. It is a country that doesn't project anything to anyone on its own, but is only thought of in relation to another country...the US. Like Wales to England. Like New Zealand to Australia. Like Norway to Sweden. Like Slovakia to the Czech Republic. Like Austria to Germany. Like Mongolia to China. Canadian praise is usually just an affectation, a way for America bashers to attempt to bash the US by implied contrast. Nobody has a real conception of Canadians. Nobody sees a distinct identity. The people who rattle about how "polite" Canadians are, how wonderful Canada is, know absolutely nothing about Canada....because the point of the praise is to say "the US is not". Canada is a blank slate to everyone. You will see an endless list of online people accuse the US of "being the only nation that calls football soccer, or that plays gridiron"....because they are completely oblivious to Canada (who also call it soccer, have the CFL) being anything other than the nation bordering the US. This is why everyone thinks Canadians say "aboot", because they only know Canada/Canadians through watching American television....they have no original, direct view of actual Canada. Americans said Canadians are polite, non violent, small town lumberjack hicks to the world in movies/television, and it was basically just accepted. US entertainment defined Canadians to the rest of the world.
How excited Canadians get in Australia if you ask where in Canada they are from. I started a new job back in the 1990s and was introduced to the Big Boss as we call them. Head of the Department. After his secretary introduced us, I was super shy and didn't really know what to say, but I said "Nice to meet you and what part of Canada are you from" He stared at me and I thought I upset him and was about to cry. He then said "I could hug you right now" sounding like he heard the best thing in his life and a smile from ear to ear. You are the first person in 20 years to be in Australia and not be asked where in America I come from". Feeling the red on my face, I could only squeak out "Well, they must not have listened to you properly or don't know the difference. " Back then I could pick out anyone from anywhere in the world. Today not so much because I lost my listening skills plus with a mixture of various ethnicities it's hard to pin point it sometimes.

R u American because if ur of Canadian or Brit or Aussie u get it
It's so true though haha so many Aussie go to Canada because it's close enough to America but isnt LOL since it has the same healthcare as Australia LOL
I recognize the "I'm fucking exhausted" look in Jai's eyes.
Glassy ass, super tired, I'm dissociating, I'm ready to sleep for 100 years.
Im Canadian, and I love Australians!!!
and the crowd goes mild
@ 4:48 lmfao someone was about to get slapped
that was an awkward interview
LoL Jai Courtney is just jarringly disingenuous, or maybe he only seems that way, all of the time.
The interviewee respond to the questions so Stephen struggled to keep the conversation going.
+luke666808g wasn't him that made it awkward
Peanut Beak Colbert has some great interviews. I don't think his skills are lacking.
Peanut Beak It takes 2 people to have a conversation. It doesn't matter how skilled Colbert is if the other guy doesn't want to say anything. The fact he got through that interview without making it too awkward is credit enough to Colbert.
Captain Boomerang is awesome.. he throws Boomerangs, punches, needs his pink plush unicorn and drinks like a sailor :D
And Canadians love Jai 😘
He's like a Jon Favreau that works out
lmfao
looks more like Chris Martin.
+chris71388 yes, I see it!
That walk jai does entering the stage lol😂
Much love to Aussies from a Canuck. 🇨🇦❤️🇦🇺
We really do love Canadians. 😂😂
Hello❤️...Thanks for your love and support you always shown me...Greetings from Jai Courtney
*Proud to be a Canadian*
Thanks for your continuous love ❤️ and support 😚😚
He has a flawless American accent
Steve's Aussie accent was better than I thought it would be.
I really appreciate this guy! I saw him for the first time in Spartacus as Varro and i fell in love. He's so cute!
this is super awkward lol
dudes on drugs, he's jawing like crazy
colbert's just off his game cause he's been doing nothing but political jokes for the past month.
2:07 was an underrated joke from Jai
We love Australians too ❤️❤️❤️

Man I remember this guy in Spartacus. He's come a long way.
Long way down.
I'm sure his bank account disagrees with you
Of course he is rich and famous now. But the work he did since Spartacus doesn't compare, in my opinion.
I'm probably the only one that really enjoyed Terminator: Genisys, including Jai Courtney's performance.
I am so sick of celebrities talking about Trump.
Move on.
And Jai did just that, thank you Jai. You are beautiful!! XOXO I like how he didn't really get on the trash talk band wagon. Move on people. I mean if he's against or for Trump... whatever... he didn't get on that wagon. Thank you.
Hello fan .I have . Quite of your handful comments on my post I just have to go out of my way to appreciate your unweaving support and good wishes and you know your comment hasn’t gone unnoticed... keep supporting me 🌺
Thanks I really appreciate that a lot.., how long have you been a fan of mine and which one of my movies really interesting you the most?
You could tell Jai effing hated doing this interview. Also, love to Australia from Canada.
he did for sure from an aussie perspective he wanted to punch him 99% of the time he got more fed up when he would say that america is like Australia when aussies aren't ignorant whatsoever its like saying canada is like america
I'm Canadian and we love Australians🇨🇦🧡🧡🧡
Stephen: "what does the boomerang guy do"
Jai "he throws boomerangs!...."
Lol i cant
ITS SO TRUE. IVE DATED LIKE 4 AUSSIES
I love the guy who throws flames with his hands aka Jay Hernandez
Hello❤️...Thanks for your love and support you always shown me...Greetings from Jai Courtney
The greatest actor of our time.
watching this again after reading an interview in which he said he doesn't like it when people try to do impressions of the Aussie accent and it makes much more sense why he looks annoyed when Stephen did it.
I really want Jared on the show, but kinda scared my fangirling heart wouldn't be able to handle him and Stephen sharing the screen
omg yes!! I'm sure we'd survive but it would be delightfully painful lol.
Alot of people talking about how awkward the interview was. I gotta agree, but it's not all Jai's fault. Yes, he's clearly not a complete extrovert so interviews don't seem to come naturally to him. But it's also about the questions. There's more to Australia than frigging boomerangs and crocodile dundee and "throw a shrimp on the barbie". If Americans were going on chat shows and being interviewed on tired old cliche subjects that stereotyped Americans, they might get sick of it after a while too.

He’s right Australians are like Canadians
If were to move over to the US, Canada would be my choice would be the closet to living in Australia
As a Canadian It's a bit insulting to be compared to Americans at this moment in history. Sorry to the reasonable people out there in the US.
A bit rich coming from a person whose country elected Justin Trudeau as PM, eh? Oh wait I completely forgot, at least Justin Trudeau has a deep understanding of Quantum Mechanics though, right? XD lol, at least when the Donald says something dumb our media hounds him on it instead of playing into it.
As an American, we still barely remember you Canadians even exist. So compare/contrast away friendly neighbor, we still won't be paying attention collectively.
Huh, probably because Canadians aren't on the news everyday because of another mass shooting of civilians or police, or drawing massive attention of the wrong kind for being horribly close to putting a self serving megalomaniac into office. I'd vote Trudeau on the premise of uniting my country and fixing our horrible First Nations issues before ever voting for some bigot like Trump or a greasy crook like Clinton.
Yeah don't kid yourself, even if Canada was on the verge of electing a megalomaniac like Donald Trump the world would likely pay very little attention. Cute attempt to make your countries lack of international attention out to be due to its lack of negative qualities though. Childish, but not surprisingly so as that kind of attitude is surely the one that led to lil' Trudeau's election. If you wanna be on the news so bad just wait a few years, Justin's ridiculous determination to bring in Syrian migrants will place you guys in the international spotlight just like France or Germany recently. If you think maybe his well informed cabinet, whom he filled with the best and the brightest would be able to make him see the folly of his ways, you are sadly mistaken. Instead of appointing the "best and the brightest," he dictated 50% of his cabinet had to be female. Know why? "Because it's 2015" (If you ever run across a "because its the [current year]" joke now you know where it came from). Great job Canada, matters of your countries highest importance are being decided on the kinds of ideals a college freshman would make. Consider yourself lucky no one pays you any attention.
Harp Off Canada is an "other" country. It is a country that doesn't project anything to anyone on its own, but is only thought of in relation to another country...the US. Like Wales to England. Like New Zealand to Australia. Like Norway to Sweden. Like Slovakia to the Czech Republic. Like Austria to Germany. Like Mongolia to China. Canadian praise is usually just an affectation, a way for America bashers to attempt to bash the US by implied contrast. Nobody has a real conception of Canadians. Nobody sees a distinct identity. The people who rattle about how "polite" Canadians are, how wonderful Canada is, know absolutely nothing about Canada....because the point of the praise is to say "the US is not". Canada is a blank slate to everyone. You will see an endless list of online people accuse the US of "being the only nation that calls football soccer, or that plays gridiron"....because they are completely oblivious to Canada (who also call it soccer, have the CFL) being anything other than the nation bordering the US. This is why everyone thinks Canadians say "aboot", because they only know Canada/Canadians through watching American television....they have no original, direct view of actual Canada. Americans said Canadians are polite, non violent, small town lumberjack hicks to the world in movies/television, and it was basically just accepted. US entertainment defined Canadians to the rest of the world.
Half of the teachers i had are married to Canadians or are Canadians
Love his style jai
How excited Canadians get in Australia if you ask where in Canada they are from. I started a new job back in the 1990s and was introduced to the Big Boss as we call them. Head of the Department. After his secretary introduced us, I was super shy and didn't really know what to say, but I said "Nice to meet you and what part of Canada are you from" He stared at me and I thought I upset him and was about to cry. He then said "I could hug you right now" sounding like he heard the best thing in his life and a smile from ear to ear. You are the first person in 20 years to be in Australia and not be asked where in America I come from". Feeling the red on my face, I could only squeak out "Well, they must not have listened to you properly or don't know the difference. " Back then I could pick out anyone from anywhere in the world. Today not so much because I lost my listening skills plus with a mixture of various ethnicities it's hard to pin point it sometimes.
I'm Canadian and I love Australia!!
And us Canadians love Australians! I want to visit so bad! Their accent is my fave
Hello fan .I have . Quite of your handful comments on my post I just have to go out of my way to appreciate your unweaving support and good wishes and you know your comment hasn’t gone unnoticed... keep supporting me 🌺
It's cool that two Aussie's were in that movie
When Stephen tried his accent Jai kind of looked insulted. Am I the only person that saw that?
Interesting. He is not as polished as some of the other Australian exports.
And Canadians love him too lol
Jai looks like he wants to punch Colbert in the face the whole time. Especially when he puts him on the spot for the accent. What's up with that?
Really enjoyed Jai's character Varro in Spartacus Blood and Sand.
thats why you guys have to vote for Canada 2016 "America but better"
Yeah I’m Canadian
