@@siniuu Graham: "Can he (Schwarzenegger) act?" Emma: "No, no, no, no, no." Jimmy: *barks like a hungry seal* And then the audience laughs over the part where she says "But he was very honest about it."

She's looking rather orange herself, though. And she often just acts as herself in movies. Acting isn't really that complicated for the most part, just be born with appealing features and voice and then just be yourself with slight variation for each character.
Sup are you kidding. Acting is incredibly difficult. You have no idea. Well, I should say good acting is incredibly difficult. Any schmoo can act.. it’s how good you are. Plus at times they have to go back to a scene they did weeks before and create the EXACT same mood and emotion. It’s impossible.
That era was an odd time for cinema and I always remember a film critic saying of Arnie - He isn't particularly good looking, he can't act very well and he can't get rid of his accent, but he can do one thing that no one else can at the moment, and that is pack out a cinema.
Is an accent or lack of an accent a requirement to being a good actor? Arnold sells because he can grab the attention and entertain the public. I'm not a fan of action movies or sci-fi, but most of the ones i like have Arnold in them.
D Anton Great actors can even completely change their accents for the role. Mr Arnold is not even a good actor... But still, he was awesome in Terminator. I watched it again after many years and was veeery surprised how convincing and terrifying he was there. Maybe he just needs a great director?
D Anton Yeah, I like almost all of his films and I respect him, he inspires me to work on myself and my dreams. but shit he is terrible actor :P Gonna watch scenes with Mr Freeze again because they say that he was good there and I just don't remember. Goddamn batman & Robin.
lkeaboy he wasn't good actor in B+R its just everything else about the film was terrible as well so he didn't really stand out as the worst aspect of film lol
Because she's kind of annoying. In fact all three of these guests, while talented, are kind of annoying. Though she is the least annoying of the three of them.
She's a very rare breed within her profession..... she's actually honest and intelligent. So much fakery within her industry; it's just refreshing to hear someone who dares to be real and true.
I’m watching this show 7 years later & it still has me in stitches, I know this clip is a bit old now, but all I have to say is Graham Norton please never change and the guests as well!
I would cut off my arm to see Emma Thompson do stand-up comedy. I think she's one of most genuinely funny women ever. It just seems to roll off her tongue in the most natural, hilarious way. Love her interviews :)
Schwarzenegger was still a great actor, even though he couldn't act. He just has a kind of presence that's appealing. I really find myself rooting for him in most his action films.
***** I don't know if that's the word I'd use for it. But something along those lines, yes. I think it's probably a male thing as well. Admiring physical strength. He has a kind of BFG quality in lots of his movies.
No, he's not a great actor IF HE CAN'T ACT. The two are mutually exclusive, for gods' sakes. What he is, is a great MOVIE STAR. And he'll tell you that himself.
Who's saying arnold is not a great actor? He made alot of movies in the 70s, 80s and 90s he is still in good shape and sometimes goes to the gym for a workout.
Arnie never claimed to be an actor and emma thompson confirms that, instead he thought he could be a movie "star", an icon. Some people can achieve by sheer force of will and he is one of them.
He was pretty damn brilliant an actor in the first Terminator. Very, very few could have played that stoic, looming strangely inhuman behemoth. Honestly rewatch that movie he really is legitimately scary. And thats very different from him in real life lol
That wasn't acting that was him playing himself... In the early 80's he was still learning English so he was playing himself... He acted like he was in real life... A Robot/cyborg... That isn't acting when he had the same characteristics on real life 🙄
@@chorleystar Lol, learning English upgraded him to a human? Arnold is a funny guy. He is a complete joker, even in his earlier movies like Conan, where he looks serious, he has charm. I agree with OP, he is uncharacteristically very cold in first Terminator. I also think he is amazing in comedies, especially True Lies.
@@vtastek He's literally playing an emotionless robot who never speaks or makes facial gestures, that really doesn't require acting, you never see him crying, laughing, mourning loved ones, fearing for his life, etc... He's the most type casted actor there is with no range at all. Sure he's irreplaceable and iconic in the terminator series but he's not an actor as much as he is a movies star, just try picturing him in any other movie like transporter for example, you cant... He has no range and it would flop horribly.
+Lam Sodge yeah, I don't understand how he is so great to watch and why I like him despite him having zero acting skills? I guess it's just his brilliant screen presence!!!
She’s jealous because an she, as Oscar Award actress, is not famous enough. You mention her name, no one cares. But you mention Arnold Schwarzenegger, everyone cares.
Arnold has acted well in quite a few films like Total Recall, Predator, Sabotage, Maggie and even managed to outshine his co-stars in the latest Terminator. So, while not the best at acting he can put in a good performance once in a while.
@@siniuu Hi of course. When asked about acting in Junior, she was saying how Arnold Schwarzenegger was orange in colour, like Simon Cowell, which got everyone laughing. When asked if he could act she replied "no but he was very honest about that", which got a few laughs too. Then Graham went on to introduce her new film Mr Banks, which is brilliant by the way, and they pulled up a very awkward picture of her and Tom Hanks, then she dived on the floor and said "I can't help it". When getting up she took flowers out of the fruit bowl and said "these are good props for later" and proceeded to put one in her hair. That was the end of the clip 🙂
Emma Thompson is basically the perfect woman: sophisticated, wickedly clever, razor-sharp wit, beautiful (seriously, look at her pictures from when she was at Cambridge - fuck me!), not to mention she has that naughty glint in her eye
Many A-list actors are not really very good actors. That doesn't mean their movies are bad. It just limits the types of roles they can play. Arnold essentially plays the same character over and over in nearly every movie but he plays that role very well indeed.
People seem to forget that it was Arnold who made the Terminator a success, his acting was great in Terminator 1 and especially 2. Also he was awesome in End of Days and Sabotage. Can't wait to see Maggie and Terminator Genisys.
That is one of the Greatest GN moments ever, deliver by revered Emma Thompson. I’m certain that Arney laughs about it too. He knows his place, with dozens of movies to his credit, and a remarkable political career, Ayney is unique.
I`m Austrian, what does that mean, can he act? NO! Ohhhh, Emma, i love you, because you really can act and your radiation is just great plus i love your sense of humor! How is your daughter? Still the boss in your home??? P.S. And yes! To be honest, he even does not to speak german (austrian) as well. Our jokes!
I think its not easy acting like a robot. And Schwarzenegger was absolutely terrifying in the first Terminator, really scary. Then in the second I always cry when he died and Predator was an amazing role

Don't blame her when she says Arnold can't act (as everyone on earth knows that fact). Graham asked that question on purpose.

"No, no, no, no!"
She's very adamant about that.
Don't be silly!

@@philbecker4676 good for you
Thanks for posting.
It would be the ultimate jackpot to be able to grow old with someone like Emma Thompson.
I'm 32 and it would be a dream to be with her now.
Arnold has acted well in quite a few films like Total Recall, Predator, Sabotage, Maggie and even managed to outshine his co-stars in the latest Terminator. So, while not the best at acting he can put in a good performance once in a while.
+no hassle His acting is just playing himself. That's not acting, it's just doing movies. Of course he's great in terminator... playing as a robot.
He did not out shine Emilia Clarke in terminator because she stole the show !.,
J Christopher Arnold would not be Arnold if he didn't have that distinct Austrian accent. It's what makes him stand out.
***** She is a good actress, but Arnold deserves a little recognition for his own talents. He plays to his strengths the same way she plays to hers.
+King JayJay Kennedy Lay off the crack. Arnold was the star of Terminator, Emilia Clarke simply showed up.
Arnold may not be the greatest of actors, but he makes movies that people want to see.
Exactly - unlike Emma who? that makes boring movies..
😂 saw the profile pic and just read that in bale's batman voice
One of the all time best GN short clips.
I forgot how good Jimmy Carr's laugh was 😂

Um, everyone who's ever seen and interview with her?
Comedy should ALWAYS be taken seriously...
Many many many people since way back when she was in the Footlights?

Omg go Emma Thompson! Tell it like it is!
Emma is a turning into that dotty , eccentric english woman.that she has protrayed so well on the screen .
She‘s the best Actress
We loved our Arnie movies growing up. They were fun.
I don't think that ANYONE watching an Arnold movie went "now THAT'S a good actor" without being sarcastic
you have to love emma lol
I love you Emma
THAT LAUGH.
Emma Thompson: Singular :-)
I wondered who the comedian they had on in his episode for the first few seconds, then I heard the laugh... and I knew
Masculinity does not have to be toxic. I think it is also why people like Arnold
Love Emma Thompson!
