I teach English as a foreign language, and Waltz is exactly how texts describe someone with mastery of a second language. He doesn't just speak accurately, but he uses idioms and phrases that you normally only get from native speakers, and sometimes uses words that I rarely hear even from native speakers. A mark of great intelligence
Well being married with an American woman for 17 years and having 3 children with her helps tremendously to pick up the English language accurately, doesn´t it. Of course he is an intelligent man, but in a wide and broad sense and not just down of his language skills. As an actor language is just part of his profession anyway. He lived and worked many many years in England (where he met his now US Ex wife, currently married to a German wife since 2013) and before he also lived and worked many years in France as well, that all before he became "worldfamous"
And the way he carefully selects his words makes you realise ( in my opinion) that he actually speaks English better than most native speakers do! At times he seems to have a greater mastery of it than Charlie Rose!!
@leba6304 I can understand that statement. He's well dressed, eloquent, educated, witty... and we tend to associate positive qualities with attraction and even good looks. He is good looking. Not the Brad Pitt way (and even there we're talking individual tastes), but in a comforting, intriguing way. One of the only real great surprises in Hollywood for a long time. And yes, he plays C Waltz in every role, just like Pacino plays Pacino, De Niro plays De Niro and so on. But so what, that's also what we like: the reassuring, known side of things. We're less open minded than we think 🙂 And more pragmatically: the man has stunning eyes indeed.
This is a masterclass for most of us who have experienced that the usage of our mother tongues deteriorated hugely in the last few decades. As for a German speaking compatriot of Mr. Waltz I try to keep my Austrian German as precise and versatile as possible, even my dialect words. Thank you for keeping the "art of language" high, Mr. Waltz!
***** hahah. well, ty... i mean, i cant help but to feel that way about him, but in general i like older men cuz they tend to have their sh*t together more. but not always the case. i just love C.W and his mind and intellect and perception. hes amazing.
Erica Young LOL, its so easy, isnt it!? hes just brilliant.. on and off screen. theres just something so mysterious about him. i want to pick his braim, haha.. i feel like i could talk to him for hours on end. #dreams
He's humble, which many actors after the success he's had post Inglorious Basterds. His first major English language Hollywood film, and he wins an Oscar. Since then another Oscar, in another QT film, and a total of 85 wins and 42 other nominations. His head should huge. He's an amazing actor, and if you appreciate films and acting, you're thankful QT knew a good actor when he saw one. Austrian CW is living the quintessential American Dream
It’s because major success didn’t find him until he was 50. Remaining humble in the face of success is hard for a young man. When someone doesn’t make it until they’re older, humility has already been beaten into them.
I wish he had touched on the sensual/tactile quality the cream and strudel added to that scene; it's ineffable of course, but it elevates the scene immensely.
Finding this band way later than i should Christoph is excellent actor no doubt for him and we saw its not about Tarantino or someone, of course Tarantino wrote the characters godly but he play his part so well (not well written playing well) he proved to us with Alita Battle Angel too. Also what I discover how amazing Charlie Rose is he is adapting his guest so well, we saw 2 gentlemen talks about a character in this video but like in that flashback about Tarantino we saw 2 movie nerds talking to each another
He's honest enough to admit Quentin's importance for his self esteem and career (called vocation in order to keep up appearances :-)). Tarantino saved many actors in that way: last decent role for De Niro, only decent roles for Jackson, Travolta, Thurman, Madsen, highlight for Willis, Keitel and Walken, only decent roles for Tim Roth, ... The man is a Saint to actors and has the talent to share his cproduction with many different actors !
I found Inglourious Basterds rather dull and boring, it didn't really seem like a Tarantino flick besides the climax. But I loved Christoph so much I felt a bit unnerved for him at the pre-credits scene.
The only negative with Waltz is that the english speaking world didn't get to see him earlier.

Such an interesting guy - I could listen to him talk for hours.
+escha Very interesting indeed, and most of all - intelligent!
ikr
Totally agree!!
christoph looks like a really fun english teacher
My new favourite actor.He's gorgeous and very handsome too,i love his eyes😍
And his mouth!
Great actor. He's handsome too. No one ever really says that.
Jew Girl Your names fucked considering his part in the film😂
@@thomas1x635 Maybe she has got some kind of a twisted sexual fantasy of being massacred by a Nazi in bed haha.
YES! Such a great face!!!
Why is he so handsome!!! 😍😍😍
@@CK-nh7sv what the fuck?? What do you mean?
ikr!

The beard
It's the beard

He's an excellent actor.
Also a smart guy; I'm native English speaker and him knowing what the hell quotidian means is impressive :)
Charlie Rose is hands down my favorite interviewer. He's great and his format really let's a guest get into the the deeper stuff.
really? cause he made a shit question that had no correlation or bridge to what he asked before at 13:30.
An incredible person is Christoph Waltz. Super humble and deeply intelligent.
speaks more eloquent english than most native english speakers
Where has christoph been all my life!! He is a fantastic actor!!:)
What a great guy.
One of the best actors I've seen on screen.
God I love Christoph, such and interesting person !
Brilliant Actor. His accent is darling.
Yup, i love this man.
Chris is a class act.
Gods this is so wrong, I'm young enough to be his daughter but he's so goddamn beautiful! Inside and out. ESP with that beard ughhhh 😍😍😍😍
lmao
***** hahah. well, ty... i mean, i cant help but to feel that way about him, but in general i like older men cuz they tend to have their sh*t together more. but not always the case. i just love C.W and his mind and intellect and perception. hes amazing.
Haha my grandma is 60 and he's 60 years old lol but I can't help falling in love with him
Erica Young LOL, its so easy, isnt it!? hes just brilliant.. on and off screen. theres just something so mysterious about him. i want to pick his braim, haha.. i feel like i could talk to him for hours on end.
#dreams
Gel M I understand. He's incredibly charming haha and smart too. An excellent combination.
C.Waltz equals 'Mr Good Manners", real old fashion Vienna etiquette school. Extraordinary talent waiting for serendipity.
Christoph is so well educated. 😁
One of the best actors i have ever seen. If you have a good movie, cast him, because he will turn it into a classic
21:02 I cried :')
It is always a pleasure to listen to him. I like how he contrasts with pop culture broadcasters like Jimmy Fallon an so forth.
love him
Two great, exceptional men!!!
Great interview! Great questions! This gave me even more admiration for Waltz!

@@seanwright3940 Agree 100%
Love him on all Tarantino’s movies, great actor!! Very smart guy.
Great interviewer and a great guest.

*This* is an actor.

Brad Pitt huge star?
Nah Christoph Waltz defnitely was the star of this film ;)
He really was. Landa stole that movie.
3:42 Enfants Terribles
Quentin Tarantino is Solid, Liquid, and Solidus Snake's brother?
Shit just got crazy.
His English sounds more like American than European.
He reminds me of Rob Brydon for some reason. 😂
So I want Mr Tarantino to write a film with Mr Waltz as Putin-pretty please?
I found Inglourious Basterds rather dull and boring, it didn't really seem like a Tarantino flick besides the climax. But I loved Christoph so much I felt a bit unnerved for him at the pre-credits scene.
Class act from him, very humble.
