I could listen to her talk all day long. Her manner of speaking is so elegant.
I agree, and had no idea, before now, that she was English.
Very posh
Agree. And her soft speaking voice seems a natural fit for something like ASMR.
Wholeheartedly Agree ❤️❤️❤️ Absolutely Agree 👍🏻
troof
When she was on the screen in “Pride and Prejudice” you simply couldn’t take your eyes off of her. It’s amazing that some actresses grab that light. She is very likable in this interview.
That was a horrible movie, and an insult to Jane Austin.
@@patstokes7040 Your opinion, which you are entitled to. Many enjoyed it.
Came here to say something similar. Just finished Wheel of Time and found her throughly hypnotic.
She was amazing! And I was thrilled when I realized later that Carey Mulligan was one of the younger daughters!
@@patstokes7040 it was an amazing movie!!!
She would have been a wonderful Cersei lannister
Don't worry, she'll make a better Moiraine Damodred
yes
But I really liked how Lena's voice was so sweet and softer in contrast to how evil she is
Lena Headey owned that role
Omg 😳
A unique combination of intelligence, beauty and niceness.
I think intelligence (smartness) and niceness are exclusive one another
She played Miranda frost in 'die another day '
Yves Desbois a dumb and mean thing to say.
Ah so concisely and accurately put
And class.
One of the most underrated actresses on the planet !!
Her performance in Gone Girl was easily one of the best performances I’ve ever seen !!!
Stop giving oscars to all the Meryl Streep’s and undeserving performances out there and recognize true talent when you see it !!!
Watch Sophie's Choice, Silkwood, Adaptation, Devil Wears Prada, and Doubt... then come back and tell me with a straight face that Meryl Streep doesn't deserve awards.
@@caseyaulbach7693 Deserve some of the awards, but not all of them...
@@marmor3957 She only won 3 don't act like she steals them lol
@@Someone-kg4rx didn't imply that, but you're right, only 3, but nominated 21 times is too much... i'm sure there's more good actresses out there that needed an ounce of her recognition
One of the most beautiful women of all time.
"What you look like is not your responsibility. That's someone else's job. Your job is to tell the truth". Perfect advice for any actor.
She's unusually attractive and refined, a true English rose.
I read that as English Scone and though you were calling her a biscuit, which is a little less classy, but also true.
Ve-ris-si-mo !!! (translation in english : absolutely true !!!)
Agree Wholeheartedly ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful, articulate, and gracious, but with a kind of bright, inner beauty shining through all the externals. Glad I watched this.
She genuinely seems like such a nice person. 💞
Finally, a comment that isn't about her looks.
She is a nice person :)
@@nebularain3338 I mean can you blame us she is f** gorgeous sorry
Possessing a pristine beauty is already a big bonus she has! What defines Rosamund is being a fantastic actress!
Wow, she really is as smart as I thought she might be. Great talent.
So much class in this lady! Always love her movies! Such a great actress! ❤️
When British actors do an American accent, the R's are sometimes stressed in a studied way that is a "tell" to our ears. And sometimes, the actor will opt for something like a Texas drawl, that gives them a hook they can use. Also, it is amusing the way British writers will often salt American characters' dialogue with unlikely or invented slang like "wangdoodle", and frequent similes, like "He's lower than a snake's belly." (Do we really talk like that?) Still, it's lovely that they try so hard and often succeed -- there is no doubt that British actors are remarkably well trained and talented, on the whole, even those in small parts. My wife and I greatly enjoy all the mystery shows from England, and the occasional American character is always fun to watch, as a clue to what they think of us and how we sound. And some actors display real genius at the accent, like Hugh Laurie, or Rosamund Pike.
Yes, some of them are easily noticeable, but there are quite a few Brit actors I knew originally from American films or television, and then a few years later heard their real voice and was totally surprised that they were not native Americans. There are not so many American actors that have managed to master the British accent to that level.
Speaking only to the portion of your comment about the Texas drawl & slang: I have many friends/acquaintances that often non-ironically use slang just like "madder than a wet hen", "all hat, no cattle" "lower than a snakes belly" (in fact I've heard that exact one from a friend) and a bunch of other stuff you would think was made up for the movies out here in West Texas. So my answer to that particular question is... around here.... yes, "we" do talk like that haha. I'm sure I would sound just like that as well... if I hadn't fallen for a girl that moved here from Southern California in high school that made fun of my twang (fy-are = fire, ole=oil etc) and "strange sayings".
Have you watched Emily Blunt playing a Valley Girl ?
Yes, but then again you have American actors and everyday folks that also stress their R's, yet they still sound American... And you have those who grew up in different American regions and develop a somehow merged accent. Johnny Depp's accent is a wonderful example of this. He has a somewhat unique American accent. If I didn't know that Johnny Depp was American or that Rosamund Pike was British and I watched a movie of them where they play Americans, I'd say that Pike is an American actress and Depp a British actor trying to sound American. We all just have unique ways of speaking and confirmation bias also comes into play.
americans can't really speak english properly.
She gets better all the time... "I Care A Lot" is fantastic!
She is so talented and beautiful. Damn. She should be getting more great roles.
i so adore the way Rosamund thinks, it is so unique,like herself,i just love to watch her movies so much,and i believe she is a very versatile actress.
She just a bad ass period she kills every role she plays outstanding actress
I read this as "She's just a bad ass period, she kills every role she plays" at first lmao
Rosamund Pike, is just one beautiful woman. Her voice, her eyes, what more can I say, raw beauty! 😎
her eyes are uniquely intriguing
@@barbieball I agree with you 100%.
I don't even master my own accent, so I'm in awe of Rosamund.
She was amazingly good in Netflix original 'I care a lot'.
She has a way of making you truly hate her characters.
English acting , a class in her own , this mild mannered woman , melts every heart , Gone Girl , the darker side of every human being
The lady must have been royal family in a past life.
well, her ma was a opera singer, so she's probably from an upper-class background for sure, maybe not royal though
Is she British ? Tq
Shirley Cameron Yes, certainly! A true British lady at heart.
Much more accessible personality than Royalty. If you met Royalty, you'd be struck by the difference rather than the similarity. She's much more warm.
Royals are inbred scumbags who stole their wealth and power over the years. They are the lowest form of archaic bullshit next to religion.
Her eyes spark true passion for acting
A real British treasure who brings wonderful presence to the stage 🙏
Please , wil you point out the difference.
I couldn't take my eyes off of her the entire time. She is so beautiful.
listening to her voice I can't wait to hear her say "Weep for Manetheren. Weep for what is lost"
For real! I was listening to the first book again recently and I replayed that part over and over again. She's going to knock it out of the park!
I love Rosamund.
stunningly wise, in-tuned and naturally elegant.
I could listen to her talk all day, her voice is so soothing
This interview makes me just wildly excited to see her as Moiraine Sedai in Wheel of Time.
There are plenty of beautiful women on this planet, but Ms Pike is so uniquely and stunningly beautiful. And such an incredible actor.
actress
@@ezequielrivara2205 the word “actor” is used for both men and women when referring to a group. Are you suggesting that I should call her an incredible “actress”, thereby implying that she is only incredible among the females in her profession? Understand?
@@permasun1 nope. I just saying that you should call her actress because she is a woman, thats all. And you're wrong about your explanation. Ask to any English teacher and they will tell you the same thing. Eventhat, you can ask rosamund pike on twitter what you should refer to her . You will be surprised
@@ezequielrivara2205 (roll eyes). You clearly have a hard time just typing English, so forgive me if I don’t accept your English lesson. Anyway, it’s not worth arguing over, so have a nice life
@@permasun1 its ok man. Some people choose to be ignorant instead of listen someone who can teach you something valuable. You are not the first one buddy. See ya.👍🏻
Her accent in Gone Girl was so good I had no idea she wasn't American. Plus her performance was crazy great. Did she get any awards nods for that?
She was nominated for all the big awards, including the Oscar for Best Actress. She didn’t win though
I like the idea of seeing her as Moiraine.
ugh such an underrated beauty
Would love to see a movie with her and Caitriona Balfe, two amazing, intelligent actors
She's always full of really sound transferable advice . What a great person.
This is what i mean when i say to people “i prefer British accent over any other”. I can’t name any American, for example, actress who has the same aura (call it whatever you want) to them as Rosamund. Her voice just sounds so layered and sophisticated.
Interview-wise I think the closest thing we have in/from America...interview-wise...is Jennifer Connelly or Kim Cattrall...but even then she surpasses
Oh my god She's British?? Oh my god I just watched I Care A Lot, she is amazing there! I was totally convinced with her accent!!
Kate Winslet and Rosamund Pike are the epitome of English roses, both very beautiful and both very grounded.
Elizabeth Hurley as well.
I've been in love with her since she was a bond Girl. But her amazing classically honed ability to fill out a role has never failed to impress. Of course Gone girl is axiomatic proof.
Her eyebrows are so hot!
her everything is hot
@@tnickknight she gets it all off in Private War
Lovely lady...refined and intelligent !
She is a wonderful actress and I’m sure also a wonderful human being. I cannot wait to see where her life goes. I’m a fan.
Her make up is so simple yet so gorgeous
Brilliant actress and very class person.
She's fabulous. An English rose in every sense.
What a beautiful woman! Her American accent is so good I had no idea that she was British.
I love her! Such a wonderful actress.
She didn’t even mention her makeup routine! I’m blown away. A real actress!!
🤣🤣😂😂
The wonderful Rosamund is brilliant as Moiraine in epic fantasy series, The Wheel of time on Amazon prime.
And earlier this year she had another brilliant role in the dark satire I Care A lot, which you can find on both Prime and Netflix 🙌
Beautiful woman and beautiful voice.
Any becoming actress or actor needs to watch this. She is telling you exactly what you need to bring to the tabe & truth that it is a job. I was in an episode of a reality show about 5 years ago and by the end of the day I was so tired although I did have some fun I don't know if I could do it for days,weeks or months.
So much brilliant advice in one video
I feel like I'm watching a princess from another century. Her poise and eloquence is uncanny. Maybe she'll become an MP like Glenda Jackson.
When I met her I had no idea she was going to be so much taller than me.. but OMG she was so beautiful
Her English accent is one of my favorites. It sounds so high-class, regal.
I love that she mentioned Sam Jones - His interview with Rosamund herself one of the best he's ever done. She goes into such fantastic detail on how she prepared for Gone Girl.
Absolutely brilliant stuff
Very captivating woman. Great actress also.
She's going to be an amazing Moirane in WoT 💗
She seems like a great choice yeah. Especially her voice and demeanor is actually very close to how i imagined Moiraine to be myself.
Her diction sounds like an ideal Cairhienen accent with the crispness and precision.
I love how this video is half a year old and in the last few days people are checking her out now we know she's playing Moiraine (myself included). Only thing is now the look of all characters in my head are inevitably gonna change into whomever plays them in the tv show
PoppaKrunch haha yes that is happening for me! I'm about half way though my read through and I literally hear Rosamund's voice
Lots of Rosamund Pike showing up in my feed lately. I agree though, she's perfect for Moiraine, bar the height, but that's not a dealbreaker for me.
I loved her in the James Bond movie. She is magnificent!
I know I can google it, but which one?
@@argeecrowell2502 Die Another Day (A Brosnan, that's how long ago it was).
@@darryljorden9177
That's the one that also had Halle Berry in it. Didn't realize that was her. Thanks for the info.
She is truly stunning.
What an extraordinary actor - her performance and American accent in "Hostiles" was breathtaking.
She , Andrea Riseborough and Rebecca Hall are the 3 in my mind wow. Truly amazing actresses who aren't named Kate Blanchette.
I agree on this 💯%.
Beautiful soul that shines through. She's done the tough mental work to channel that freely.
I'm SO glad I've come across this interview. After watching Gone Girl, I was left wondering whether she may actually be like that in real life. But, she sounds like a very nice person.
You should watch her in Pride and Prejudice! She plays the kindest person possible and does such a great job that I didn't know how she could possibly play a psychopath.
I like her…tremendously!
Always thought she was from German origin. I am Dutch myself speak five languages and was a teacher in German.
For G's in particular to get rid of their perfect pronunciation of e i o a is very hard, so I admired her skill.
stunning woman...
So excited into seeing her as Moraine
I think she has been Great In everything she has Been In She has Always Impressed me as an Actress
One of the most gorgeous creatures ever.
such a treasure of a person
What an extraordinary actress and person
Breathtaking.
Stunning lady.
I’ve read that acting book.David Mamet is amazing. Every actor or wanna be actor should read it
well, I'm an American who spent some childhood years in England .. and I find her voice joyfully English .. a very beautiful and refined woman .. she conveys strength and intelligence in a very soft way .. and I enjoy the nuances of her tone and inflections .. sadly, I'm glad she sounds less American and more English ..
Amazing actress
She was in the movie RETURN TO SENDER , which I thought was very good. but to pretend to be an American, she did the accent so well nobody would have really noticed she was British. She did a great job in the movie
Beautiful, smart and elegant...
A true thespian of her art 🎭.
Such a lovely lady.
Did anyone else think there was an Bafta award hanging on her wall until the camera angle changed?
She was so unbelievably good in "Gone Girl" that I think I'd be a little frightened of her if I met her in person. A wonderful actress!
OMG she is so sweet and lovely to look at.
Great voice
Her beauty and elegance are truly stunning
Shes the most beautiful woman in the world x
Can’t wait for Wheel of Time 😍
She is a beauty...
Nice.. she props off camera with Sam Jones 💚
I'm learning more from tips geared towards actors to improve my accent as a foreigner than from second language learning videos. I'm at a point I feel like I just need to act out, to anchor my accent/vocal personality at something, and feel fully in my own skin across a wide range of emotional expressions.
Incredibly Beautiful Woman both in looks and inteligence!
So excited for her Moraine!!!!
Gorgeous and Intelligent!
She’s perfection
Not...
Her actual accent is quite nice
I love her! But also that watermark on the top left is so weirdly placed lol
Far enough in to survive cropping to 4:3
@@stevecarter8810 Maybe they need a partial frame or background to it so it's not just a floating head in the corner haha
Simply, Beautiful!!!! Thanks a lot to you all.
She is captivating ...
