It came as a complete revelation just how eloquent a speaker Farell is. I mean he’s a fantastically talented actor, and many actors are very articulate, but he’s on another level, I could listen to him all day.
Colin Farrell: "There's art everywhere. There's art on the street, there's graffiti; the whole world is buzzing with people trying to articulate their confusions and trying to reach each other through the frivolity of laughter and entertainment, or the depth of soul-searching story, narrative and performance." I've never heard this articulated so beautifully.
Colin Farrell has chemistry with everyone and Jamie Lee Curtis has chemistry with everyone too plus they are both easy to talk because they are both grounded, natural and down to earth.
Not to be dramatic, but I kind of live for Actor on Actor interviews. And this one is the most beautiful conversation about the human experience and art that I’ve ever seen. Jamie and Colin are the best to do this.
You can't watch any of these episodes without thinking about yourself or life as we perceive it. Actors are truly in the business of emotions as Viola Davis so beautifully put it.
Actors are in most part self obsessed and absorbed. I rarely enjoy listening to them talk. Only the ones who have zero ego like these two get my attention and time. Absolute gem 💎 of a sitting.
I wouldn’t say he’s the worlds most underrated. They are usually the people we never get to see. There are brilliant actors that never get to his level. He’s lucky to have more chances
Variety was really like "let's just get the two most charismatic, personable people in Hollywood in a room together" and we are all here for it. Listening to Colin Farrell and Jaime Lee Curtis talk is like listening to poetry. That sounds pretentious but seriously, these two individuals are one of a kind.
When Jamie started to talk about her sobriety and the generational pattern with that addiction my eyes started to balling out, and just her voice changing when talking about that just made me want it to hug her! I’ve never struggle with any addiction myself but I have the biggest respect and appreciation for the people who had made it 🫶🏻 You can all do it, always remember that!
10 years now off heroin, any cheering from ANYbody is incredibly rare for most of recovering addicts. Thanks, really.. thanks a lot. We're all out here trying our best one day, week, month, year at a time.
@@katyaa6556 I’m so happy for you!! 🫶🏻💕 Yayyyy!! You have my entire support and care even tho we are strangers and probably live in a completely different place in the world 😅Life is not easy so we should feel proud of what we’ve achieved so far!! Big hugs to you and again, congrats for everything that you’ve achieve!! 🌟💕
The pain and suffering that addiction is so real and so unbelievably heartbreaking. My father always said "One drink is too much and ten is not enough." So true for so many that feel compelled to drink and drink and drink and drink until they blackout or throw up. I know usually starts out as good fun then it quickly turns dark for those that want to push themselves farther than most. Cause they have such hatred for themselves that they want numb their pain or just kill themselves. So tragic and meaningless, what is the point of any of that nonsense. Life is fleeting so fuck it and end it as fast as possible. Legions of lost souls that needed so much more goodness in their lives. Makes me hate everything that contributed to such tragedy.
@cotevallelos7230 It made you want it to want to hug her. Awe... Get real. A wealthy woman that's an actress from a well known family of actors that fooled the world with lies and always having a connection to a doctor that wrote her scrips for opiate's because who she is. Ha! Sorry it don't fly with me. That woman is a very unlikable person. She`s a nothing, named queen of scream and thats about as good of and actress she is. She never got the big roles because of the big ego she has and plain and simple she sucks at acting. She`s too manly to be a leading lady and very ruff around the edges. I don't like her I didn't or could not watch this person that really thinks shes something. She`s gross and crude and nothing but a B list actress and no one should feel sorry for her. She`s fine and always will be. I never watched any of these Variety interviews its not as though any of the actors are fine and polished and your going to learn anything from them. Stop idolizing these idiots.
So funny…I lived in LA for sixteen years and worked near the 3rd street Promenade in Santa Monica. I had the opportunity to meet both of these wonderful people at different times almost in the exact same place. Early in Colin’s career, he’d hang out on the Promenade to simply meet people. He’s a social guy. I was walking towards him and he just said hello and I stepped over to shoot the breeze. Just a ten minute conversation about LA and how it’s so different than Dublin. I’m Irish too so we just talked about that. A few years later, in the same general area I am waiting in line at the cinema and Jamie Lee is in front of me with a friend. Some obnoxious tourist started bothering a guy in front of Jamie and she stepped up and told him to Eff off and leave him alone. She was cool AF and exactly as you see her here. Warm, friendly and lovely. She talked to all of us in the line and kept us entertained until the box office opened. Good people, both.
Jamie Lee Curtis blew this role right open. She was unrecognizable. I watched EEAAO again with my teenage son. He sat in shock for a few minutes at the end. It was so beautiful. It stays with you.
It's the kind of film that transcends the art form of just being a movie. It truly resonates with you on a human level and just connects with the human experience so profoundly that it burrows into your soul. It's the kind of film that reminds me why I love movies.
@@ryanyates4124 Thanks for correcting that. So she only won a Golden Globe for it? It’s exactly the kind of comedy role that used to get nominated decades ago (Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda, Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost) before they stopped.
The loss of a friendship is so painful. The film was an honest depiction of that pain. The way director made you feel for both characters. The journey of their unraveling was beyond the pale.
I love how they talk over eachother, but not in an egotistical attempt to divert attention to their movie, but because they're both just so excited to try and add to what the other is saying about their movie.
I don’t think I’ve been this attentive to an Actor On Actor on this level before. I feel like I’m part of a scene in Waking Life or something - amazing stuff. A delightful pairing!
I’ve never heard anyone speak as beautifully and the most eloquently as Collin Farrell does. I’ve never cried during an Actors on Actors until this interview. I’m in total awe
Wow. This is a powerful pairing. Witnessing them sharing their hearts and thoughts with one another really moved me. After watching this I appreciate them on an entirely new level. Actors don't merely entertain, they inspire depth of thought and sense of connection.
i really think colin will win the oscar for banshees. it was such a vulnerable and open performance, with such depth and humanity, while also managing to be laugh out loud funny. i hope brendan and kerry win oscars for it too, but i really think it's going to be colin's year
Colin’s work was so beautiful, the highlight of a career of compelling, versatile work. Whether or not he deserves it, I do think it’s gonna be Brendan Fraser’s year though, considering all the buzz that performance is receiving
These two are delightful together which is a surprise. Also - 5:00 "I believe the kids call it ghosting" that got a chuckle out of me I love Colin Farrell.
I have partied with Colin. He likes being current with todays slang. He asked me many times what certain words r popularly used in the states, like, he was curious about the expression, “She makes “stupid money”…That was just one. He liked the expression for someone being wealthy as, “loaded”…He liked my usage of what’s typical for US residents, but not for a newbie Irish bloke. I like the UK’s choice in slang for money too. “Quid” is one.
Both of them at the edge of tears at some points, so vulnerable. You can tell they really feel everything very deep in their hearts! My favorite here is Colin, as he is one of my favorite actors and you can tell he has learned so much after being sober because the way he talks about life is so profound but also protected as if he doesn't want to be misinterpreted, I know that very well.
Both of them are poets. Listening to how deeply they understand themselves and just humanity and how well they communicate all of it brings me such joy. Absolutely poetic
Colin Farrell is my personal model of moral and spiritual perfection: THIS is how he became The Saint Of Toronto; About 20 years ago when he was here for The Toronto Film Festival he met a homeless guy panhandling on the street and took him for a steak dinner. After dinner he rented him an apartment and paid the rent for a YEAR! The next year when was back for the Festival, he visited his new friend, found that he was working on his sobriety but still unemployed and paid the rent for ANOTHER fucking year! Just telling this amazing story about this beautiful man makes me cry.
Marvelously inspired pairing, the ease of seeming familiarity they share with each other, even though they've only interacted a few times over the years, is so endearing. It was like seeing an approvingly responsible big sister catch up with her energetically enigmatic little brother.
What a strange and beautiful, thoughtful, generous, and poetic conversation. Truly a lovely interview between Colin and Jamie Lee -- thank you for this. There was eloquence, kindness, and joy here -- I needed this. Kudos to both, and thank you for giving us such a lovely moment.
Colin Farrell is so unbelievably talented and he has a deep appreciation for life. Seeing art and artists for joy they bring others. Jamie Lee Curtis has done such a massively wide range that most actresses will never match. Her humor and her sincere appreciation for not underdogs, but overlooked champions. All so inspiring that we all go through life doing the daily grind. That most of the time we overlook so many beautiful things and brilliant people. I would love to see that attitude end and everyone go through life feeling like they belong anywhere.
The interviews were actors talk technique is very interesting to be sure. But this... this was breathtaking. A beautiful, genuine experience of human connection. Honesty, sadness, joy, gratitude. It filled me with the indescribable joy of hearing someone put into words a feeling or thought you believed you were the only one to have experienced. Didn't want this conversation to end.
The pairing I never knew I needed but it makes total sense. I agree about Kerry Condon in this movie. She was brilliant. Definitely deserves an Oscar nom for her performance. "Tell me about the donkey". 🤣 Words I thought I'd never hear Jamie Lee Curtis say.
Hahahaha, Colin interrupts Jamie so much. It'd normally be annoying but it's obvious it's coming from a place of childlike enthusiasm for his craft, and Jamie sees that clearly. It's like this manic eloquence that you can't help but love. Great discussion.
I think they both did it a bit but they were both so enthused and passionate about what they were talking about. You could tell he was trying to resist doing it though!
Ever since he’s gotten sober, he rambles in interviews a lot. Not ramble haha but talks a lot…. I think Jamie Lee, as someone who went through sobriety before Collin can relate
If I was ever to meet Colin Farrell irl (lololol yah right), and I was able to tell him about one of the times that he moved me and brought me to tears, I would tell him "that interview you did with Jamie Lee Curtis" because wow 😭 what a beautiful soul
Jamie Lee Curtis was amazing in EEAAO. Even in the silly moments she killed it. My favorite movie of the year. Hearing them talk about Colin’s movie makes me want to go see it, it sounds great. Colin is a big teddy bear, great guy.
I'm always impressed when watching British/Scottish/Irish actors talking. Their vocabulary, their knowledge and the way they are truly gentlemen is amazing!
yeah funny how us yanks are pretty often un-something in comparison-- lol. Even aussie actors made massive strides into global-class films (namely hollywood) over the past forty yrs, ie some of the biggest stars here are aussies. I'm a yank in case it's not obvious
Colin is the long term investment. Been a fan since day one and man did he have his doubters. One of the best actors of our era and happy he never got distracted by big fame
That was a genuinely lovely interview. The film Intermission Colin mentioned was a little gem, also stars Cillian Murphy and Kelly Macdonald. It’s quite a funny, offbeat, crime romance, i highly recommend any fan of Colin Farrell to see it, he has a relatively small part but he really stands out in that film.
Have always loved Jamie, but to hear Collin speak is a wonderment. Such depth of understanding of himself. Both films were emotional revelations, but Banshees still resides in my mind and heart, so simple and profound.
26:30 when Jamie Lee tells this story, I loved how Colin was listening so intently. The verses she recited at the end were beautiful and heartwarming. What an amazing connection they both have.
This was so beautifully different from other interviews. With two 'in-the-moment' actors you get nothing else but difference for the better. Where else do you get spontaneous music playing bringing both to tears. So organic this discussion. Well done on the pairing. **Just a small update as I wrote my comment mid- way....so much more to come... So much more substance than just acting...
This is a beautiful conversation. Absolutely riveting. Two people who have lived life with all its ups and downs. And Colin is criminally underrated as an actor and a human
Wow, what an incredible duo! Most of these interviews are engrossing, but this one was on another level. Such profound, beautiful, heartfelt words said about art and the human condition, and the stories that they shared... Thank you for this!
That "human race" poetry/literary quote Jamie gave was immensely profound! Actually, the depths of this discussion from these two actors was profound. Fitting, to say the least. I could have watched a full series of these two discussing anything they felt moved to say! I am sad to say I haven't yet seen Colin's film yet. I will be after this though. EEAAO, I have seen and man what a ride! Great film! Great!
Wait! 43 minutes is not enough! come on! I never knew Colin was this witty and charming and ugh Jamie was soo refreshing, a cool mom we all want! Bingeing these Actors on Actors!
What a treat to watch and listen to Jamie Lee and Colin. These are two who have been through the addiction mill and come out the other side brilliantly. Both share the humility of gratitude, and the joy of being authentic, and appreciated for it. Colin is a man fully realized, and he broke my heart in "Banshees', with his hurt and bewilderment at being "dumped so beautifully, painfully portrayed. He is an eloquent advocate for the presence of art in the ordinary as well as the extraordinary. Jamie Lee as always a class act ☘☘
I agree about the Special Olympics experience because my sister is disabled & competes in them every year. It's just pure happiness & joy every time you go. All the athletes are kind & the vibe is just contagious, in a good way.
What a conversation! The two are somehow MORE, or DEEPER than most. They have cores that shine through this talk, shines through their work, through their eyes. The talent comes from that. The need to somehow experience and share the art they are in, and capable of themselves, with the rest of us.
I love this chat. They are both really intense but rein each other in and focus each other. Their two films are two of my faves of the year, saw them both in the cinema.
@@ct6852 he stayed alive, kept doing the work and took on a ton of credible indie projects and was smart to retreat from the blockbusters which were not great for him
As a side note, I find it interesting how talkative Colin farrell is. In interviews he often comes across as shy but here he talked a lot. Jamie is a great listener 😉😉 #ScoopOfGossip
I loved this AoA. I've always enjoyed listening to Jamie in interviews but Colin surprised me. He is so articulate in a poetic sense. What a beautiful man. Also Jamie's reaction to "support donkey" had me right there with her 🤣
These actors on actors series are truly one of my favourite things to watch on UA-cam. Would love if these were also available in podcast format so I could listen to some of these conversations during walks
What I like about actors and some other public figures is when we can actually see them evolve and succeed through the years… so happy to see these two people sober and enjoying their job and humanity so much. Not everybody is that lucky.
Jamie Lee Curtis is so _regal_ here (and I mean that in the very best way) and Colin Farrell is so _eager_ here (and I mean that too in the very best way) The two of them just *feed* on each other's energy and introspection in the most beautiful way. What a treat this video was.
this video should be shown in schools to teach students how to think and talk and also in counselling for all ages. one of the best though provoking pieces of humanity I have ever been fortunate to have watched. simply life changing!
The most lovely, sincere and warm talk between actors I've ever seen. Loved it. Even though I wasn't a fan of them before, I am now. Such connection, such deepness, and unexpected similarity of experience, and chance, and fate, and magic and.. oh. Got to be re-watched.
I didn't think I could love this pairing even more. And then came the support donkey.🤣🤣🤣 I have to say that Colin has place in my heart. He seems so tuned-in, and I'm here for it
Love that Colin sang Kerry Condon's praises. Great actress. I first saw her in 'Unleased' (2005 with Jet Li, Morgan Freeman) and was impressed that she brought some gravitas to what would otherwise have been just a fight movie. She was the perfect choice for Banshees and it showed.
Being spoilt by so many actors on actors all at once…but had to click on this one right away first… Always felt that Jamie and Colin are very genuine souls…and I knew that would translate into a conversation between the two …and it didn’t disappoint…
This is the best fulfilled & satisfying conversation ever...I mean ever, ever, ever, ever....what I saw here until now! I really deeply, deeply LOVE and appreciate such kinds of wise-humorous-intellectual conversations. So full of love, homor, respect, kindness, profundity, appreciation, honesty, truth, depth and of course seemingly endless word acrobatics, which is (for me personally) so adorably funny, exciting and satisfying at the same time, to listen to. It is beautiful to see, how she is completely in peace by and with herself and gives him so much space to just be himself. I would love to just sit somewhere and listen to him all day long. This kind of conversations...in my opinion...is ART itself. THANK YOU FOR THIS ART!💛🐥💫
I honestly think Colin Farrell might be my favorite actor, I dont think there's anything that dude cannot do in front of the camera and was my favorite part of the latest Batman film. Can't wait to see Banshees Of Inisherin, with the clips i've seen of it it looks like it could be my favorite movie of the year. Him, Martin Mcdonaugh and Brendan Gleeson are the dream team.
Jaime Lee is absolutely beautiful in this.. this is one of the most unexpectedly insightful and moving scenes of this series. Gratitude and love for them in this and the opportunity of experience this.
I have watched quite a few 'Actors on Actors' interviews lately but this one takes the biscuit. It made me tear up twice and I have such a deeper appreciation for Colin and Jamie Lee. What a beautiful conversation, how beautifully existential, emotional, real. Loved it.
I'm glad Colin acknowledged Intermission in this interview. Colin Farrell, Cillian Murphy, Colm Meaney and that short scene with Kerry Condon, it's one of my most quoted movies of all time. The fact that 20 years later both Colin and Kerry were nominated for Oscars for the same film is amazing.
Colin Farrell should be a guest in every Actors on Actors season. Not only one of our best working actors, also one of our most eloquent.
I totally agree! He is literally so passionate about his films, it’s so nice to hear him talk so much about it
but then they would have to change the name to Colin Farrell on Actors
100% would watch
He could be the modern James Lipton.
He's Irish..plain and simple
It came as a complete revelation just how eloquent a speaker Farell is. I mean he’s a fantastically talented actor, and many actors are very articulate, but he’s on another level, I could listen to him all day.

I've never heard this articulated so beautifully.
yes i was looking for this it is an insanely beautiful quote i went back to listen to it again and was coming to the comments to quote it lol
If u read a lot, u learn to express yourself easier. Colin reads a lot.

After dinner he rented him an apartment and paid the rent for a YEAR! The next year when was back for the Festival, he visited his new friend, found that he was working on his sobriety but still unemployed and paid the rent for ANOTHER fucking year! Just telling this amazing story about this beautiful man makes me cry.
And then,what happened with the homeless guy?
Colin has always been my favorite actor,crush...❤
@@danirh5969 If Colin is still visiting him when he comes for the Festival, he's not letting anyone know about it.
Marvelously inspired pairing, the ease of seeming familiarity they share with each other, even though they've only interacted a few times over the years, is so endearing. It was like seeing an approvingly responsible big sister catch up with her energetically enigmatic little brother.
Jamie Lee is so confident that it takes someone just as strong as her to match her & Colin did a good job.
These two could run a talk show on the regular and it'd be better than anything else out there. Love the energy they share here.
17:29 my heart absolutely melted. their expression says it all. absolutely brought tears to my eyes...and Jamie was right. that was meant to be.
Same... 😢 😊
What a strange and beautiful, thoughtful, generous, and poetic conversation. Truly a lovely interview between Colin and Jamie Lee -- thank you for this. There was eloquence, kindness, and joy here -- I needed this. Kudos to both, and thank you for giving us such a lovely moment.
Colin Farrell is so unbelievably talented and he has a deep appreciation for life. Seeing art and artists for joy they bring others. Jamie Lee Curtis has done such a massively wide range that most actresses will never match. Her humor and her sincere appreciation for not underdogs, but overlooked champions. All so inspiring that we all go through life doing the daily grind. That most of the time we overlook so many beautiful things and brilliant people. I would love to see that attitude end and everyone go through life feeling like they belong anywhere.
Someone, please put these two in a movie. I could listen and watch these two for hours.
This is the movie but it’s mainly about one person
The interviews were actors talk technique is very interesting to be sure. But this... this was breathtaking. A beautiful, genuine experience of human connection. Honesty, sadness, joy, gratitude. It filled me with the indescribable joy of hearing someone put into words a feeling or thought you believed you were the only one to have experienced. Didn't want this conversation to end.
The pairing I never knew I needed but it makes total sense. I agree about Kerry Condon in this movie. She was brilliant. Definitely deserves an Oscar nom for her performance. "Tell me about the donkey". 🤣 Words I thought I'd never hear Jamie Lee Curtis say.
Now that's Funny! Cheers!
Didn't see the donkey coming either. Let's all say a prayer for that donkey. So it knows we all with it in spirit.
“A heart that is not afraid of its pain”… I so wish for this kind of (beautifully put) courage.
cant believe i would be emotional watching this. jamie lee curtis quoting the final lines of her book hit me so hard
Hahahaha, Colin interrupts Jamie so much. It'd normally be annoying but it's obvious it's coming from a place of childlike enthusiasm for his craft, and Jamie sees that clearly. It's like this manic eloquence that you can't help but love. Great discussion.
I think they both did it a bit but they were both so enthused and passionate about what they were talking about. You could tell he was trying to resist doing it though!
Jamie was incredibly patient with him and didn't seem fazed by it at all. It was a pleasure watching them together in this video.
It could be his way to staying focused . Holding his attention
Correct 😂.. Colin was following his thoughts by interrupting ..
Jamie is a better listener and have more patience.. True woman 😉
Ever since he’s gotten sober, he rambles in interviews a lot. Not ramble haha but talks a lot…. I think Jamie Lee, as someone who went through sobriety before Collin can relate
What a pure and just lovely interview. Could listen to these two talk for hours on end.
If I was ever to meet Colin Farrell irl (lololol yah right), and I was able to tell him about one of the times that he moved me and brought me to tears, I would tell him "that interview you did with Jamie Lee Curtis" because wow 😭 what a beautiful soul
Jamie Lee Curtis was amazing in EEAAO. Even in the silly moments she killed it. My favorite movie of the year. Hearing them talk about Colin’s movie makes me want to go see it, it sounds great. Colin is a big teddy bear, great guy.
This is easily one of the best Actors on Actors I've ever watched. The connection Jamie Lee and Colin develop right before our eyes is amazing.
I'm always impressed when watching British/Scottish/Irish actors talking. Their vocabulary, their knowledge and the way they are truly gentlemen is amazing!
yeah funny how us yanks are pretty often un-something in comparison-- lol. Even aussie actors made massive strides into global-class films (namely hollywood) over the past forty yrs, ie some of the biggest stars here are aussies. I'm a yank in case it's not obvious
Colin is the long term investment. Been a fan since day one and man did he have his doubters. One of the best actors of our era and happy he never got distracted by big fame
That was a genuinely lovely interview. The film Intermission Colin mentioned was a little gem, also stars Cillian Murphy and Kelly Macdonald. It’s quite a funny, offbeat, crime romance, i highly recommend any fan of Colin Farrell to see it, he has a relatively small part but he really stands out in that film.
Classic. Colm meeney too. Top movie.
I agree great movie ,,,, as they say in the states
I always remember it came out around the time of In Bruges. I loved both of them.
@@niallnigeynige Intermission came out in 2003. In bruges came out in 2008
Have always loved Jamie, but to hear Collin speak is a wonderment. Such depth of understanding of himself. Both films were emotional revelations, but Banshees still resides in my mind and heart, so simple and profound.
SUCH A GOOD COMBO. love them both
26:30 when Jamie Lee tells this story, I loved how Colin was listening so intently. The verses she recited at the end were beautiful and heartwarming. What an amazing connection they both have.
The way Collin receives and respects Jamie Lee as an artist and an actor is so thrilling to watch. I loved this interview. Great stuff.
Colin’s eyebrows deserve an Oscar. They were outstanding in the movie
This was so beautifully different from other interviews. With two 'in-the-moment' actors you get nothing else but difference for the better. Where else do you get spontaneous music playing bringing both to tears. So organic this discussion. Well done on the pairing. **Just a small update as I wrote my comment mid- way....so much more to come... So much more substance than just acting...
This is a beautiful conversation. Absolutely riveting. Two people who have lived life with all its ups and downs. And Colin is criminally underrated as an actor and a human
This interview is so chaotic in a good way. I love them both, so inspiring.
Wow, what an incredible duo! Most of these interviews are engrossing, but this one was on another level. Such profound, beautiful, heartfelt words said about art and the human condition, and the stories that they shared... Thank you for this!
I cried, in a good way, during multiple parts of this interview... but I smiled through the tears. What a moving discussion.
Me too ❤
That "human race" poetry/literary quote Jamie gave was immensely profound! Actually, the depths of this discussion from these two actors was profound. Fitting, to say the least. I could have watched a full series of these two discussing anything they felt moved to say! I am sad to say I haven't yet seen Colin's film yet. I will be after this though. EEAAO, I have seen and man what a ride! Great film! Great!
Wait! 43 minutes is not enough! come on! I never knew Colin was this witty and charming and ugh Jamie was soo refreshing, a cool mom we all want! Bingeing these Actors on Actors!
What a treat to watch and listen to Jamie Lee and Colin. These are two who have been through the addiction mill and come out the other side brilliantly. Both share the humility of gratitude, and the joy of being authentic, and appreciated for it. Colin is a man fully realized, and he broke my heart in "Banshees', with his hurt and bewilderment at being "dumped so beautifully, painfully portrayed. He is an eloquent advocate for the presence of art in the ordinary as well as the extraordinary. Jamie Lee as always a class act ☘☘
Don’t over kids their arses tho. 🤣🤣👏👏
@@LGAussie ??
I agree about the Special Olympics experience because my sister is disabled & competes in them every year. It's just pure happiness & joy every time you go. All the athletes are kind & the vibe is just contagious, in a good way.
This conversation is SO much better because it is not primarily about the movies...it is realand give and take...like real conversations...
What a conversation! The two are somehow MORE, or DEEPER than most. They have cores that shine through this talk, shines through their work, through their eyes. The talent comes from that. The need to somehow experience and share the art they are in, and capable of themselves, with the rest of us.
I love this chat. They are both really intense but rein each other in and focus each other. Their two films are two of my faves of the year, saw them both in the cinema.
I feel like these two are HONEST in a way most actors aren't. Nice to see them interact.
Not really, they’re both fake
@@user-wo5tc9ux7u In what way are they “fake”?
Yes for better or worse. The parts of their lives she mentioned when they got attention was for when they were in their no fucks given, party era
@@jissanhuq3792 Feel like Colin especially has changed a ton from his earlier image.
@@ct6852 he stayed alive, kept doing the work and took on a ton of credible indie projects and was smart to retreat from the blockbusters which were not great for him
You can tell both of these people are thoughtful and insightful this year you guys have been killing it with these pairings.
As a side note, I find it interesting how talkative Colin farrell is. In interviews he often comes across as shy but here he talked a lot. Jamie is a great listener 😉😉
#ScoopOfGossip
I loved this AoA. I've always enjoyed listening to Jamie in interviews but Colin surprised me. He is so articulate in a poetic sense. What a beautiful man.
Also Jamie's reaction to "support donkey" had me right there with her 🤣
is it me or is Variety killing it with these videos? excellent conversations imho. Well done boys and girls in Variety!
These actors on actors series are truly one of my favourite things to watch on UA-cam. Would love if these were also available in podcast format so I could listen to some of these conversations during walks
and also be even longer then
What I like about actors and some other public figures is when we can actually see them evolve and succeed through the years… so happy to see these two people sober and enjoying their job and humanity so much. Not everybody is that lucky.
people always say “this is the best one” but this is the best one
Jamie Lee Curtis is so _regal_ here (and I mean that in the very best way)
and Colin Farrell is so _eager_ here (and I mean that too in the very best way)
The two of them just *feed* on each other's energy and introspection in the most beautiful way. What a treat this video was.
There’s a magnetic, frenetic charisma and curiosity that Colin posesses and there is a divine poet and craftsmen in Jamie lee curtis.
haahahahahaha jesus wept
this video should be shown in schools to teach students how to think and talk and also in counselling for all ages. one of the best though provoking pieces of humanity I have ever been fortunate to have watched. simply life changing!
For those wondering, the piece at 17:20 is "Vide Cor Meum" by Patrick Cassidy
Thank you very much!
I recognize it from Hannibal
Not only was it used in Hannibal, it was also used in Kingdom of Heaven. I love that piece so much.
The most lovely, sincere and warm talk between actors I've ever seen. Loved it. Even though I wasn't a fan of them before, I am now. Such connection, such deepness, and unexpected similarity of experience, and chance, and fate, and magic and.. oh. Got to be re-watched.
These two absolutely MUST act in something together. Wow.
Genuinely a life affirming conversation. Kudos
wow! this pairing was beyond amazing. their art extending beyond the screen into basics of humanity. wow wow wow...
I didn't think I could love this pairing even more. And then came the support donkey.🤣🤣🤣 I have to say that Colin has place in my heart. He seems so tuned-in, and I'm here for it
Love that Colin sang Kerry Condon's praises. Great actress. I first saw her in 'Unleased' (2005 with Jet Li, Morgan Freeman) and was impressed that she brought some gravitas to what would otherwise have been just a fight movie. She was the perfect choice for Banshees and it showed.
Being spoilt by so many actors on actors all at once…but had to click on this one right away first… Always felt that Jamie and Colin are very genuine souls…and I knew that would translate into a conversation between the two …and it didn’t disappoint…
Why did I tear up when Jamie was telling us the end of her book. My gosh, that was beautiful.
she is so real i cried too
I’ve watched many of these interviews, but I haven’t seen such a connection between the actors/actresses. This one is moving!!
These two are each other's biggest fans. The admiration and respect is palpable. I wish I'd seen both movies!
This is the best fulfilled & satisfying conversation ever...I mean ever, ever, ever, ever....what I saw here until now!
I really deeply, deeply LOVE and appreciate such kinds of wise-humorous-intellectual conversations.
So full of love, homor, respect, kindness, profundity, appreciation, honesty, truth, depth and of course seemingly endless word acrobatics, which is (for me personally) so adorably funny, exciting and satisfying at the same time, to listen to.
It is beautiful to see, how she is completely in peace by and with herself and gives him so much space to just be himself.
I would love to just sit somewhere and listen to him all day long. This kind of conversations...in my opinion...is ART itself. THANK YOU FOR THIS ART!💛🐥💫
I honestly think Colin Farrell might be my favorite actor, I dont think there's anything that dude cannot do in front of the camera and was my favorite part of the latest Batman film. Can't wait to see Banshees Of Inisherin, with the clips i've seen of it it looks like it could be my favorite movie of the year. Him, Martin Mcdonaugh and Brendan Gleeson are the dream team.
Jaime Lee is absolutely beautiful in this.. this is one of the most unexpectedly insightful and moving scenes of this series. Gratitude and love for them in this and the opportunity of experience this.
Such profound, intelligent, and passionate conversation! Jamie LC n Collin F are both great actors, artists n philosophers of our time! Love them! ❤
I have watched quite a few 'Actors on Actors' interviews lately but this one takes the biscuit. It made me tear up twice and I have such a deeper appreciation for Colin and Jamie Lee. What a beautiful conversation, how beautifully existential, emotional, real. Loved it.
LOVE that story of Jamie's love-at-first-sight with Chris. They are treasures!
I'm glad Colin acknowledged Intermission in this interview. Colin Farrell, Cillian Murphy, Colm Meaney and that short scene with Kerry Condon, it's one of my most quoted movies of all time. The fact that 20 years later both Colin and Kerry were nominated for Oscars for the same film is amazing.
Usually these are just a kind of entertaining way to pass time, but this one...this one I learned, I laughed I cried. Brilliant
Chemistry conversation energy between those teo is so organic and off the charts❤ amazing conversation and flow
That song Colin played got me. This is one of my favorites Actors on Actors so far 💛
