What really bothered me hearing Ke's story is that if his work on Everything Everywhere All at Once is any indication, we as a film loving public were robbed of 20 years of potentially incredible performances.
Very true. His speech about just being kind to each other in Everything Everywhere had me bawling. And how emotional and different his version of Waymond was compared to the other version(s), just amazing.
@@jp-sn6si at the begining i was like who is this guy and when i realized it was shortround i was so pumped that all these years later he is getting back into it.
I genuinely love the support from the fellow actors 💌💌 like the awards Butler for example stood up happy for Fraser like, he knew he had his whole career ahead & that Fraser thought ppl forgot about him. Very sweet
Colin Farrell and Brendan Fraser are engulfed in this conversation. You can tell when someone is truly listening just by their body language. Brendan is about to cry at points in other people's stories and Colin almost looks childish in his wonder. What cool people.
I totally love how both Brendan Fraser and Colin Farrell are so invested in everybody's story and always giving vocal or physical affirmations. AustIn Butler, too... that intent listening, leaning forward.
@@Theassassin85326 He and Brendan Fraser both. Both of these guys are global treasures 😭😭😭 Such wonderful actors and they deserve all the best life can offer!
@@petesmart1983 Not anymore. Diversity is being pushed full force and rightfully so. This is not the 40s and America is no longer white. The cinema must reflect that, and Oscars should be given accordingly. Every talented individual deserves and chance to prove themselves worthy.
Somebody please give Brendan a hug. He needs it and deserves it for everything he's ever given us. He's an inspiration to anyone who has truly felt left behind by the world
@@nicoleschachtner4912 He gets a LOT of love on Reddit. At a glance, it looks like his return to the screen has been warmly received and he's aware of that.
@@DYA9091 For a lot of people, it isn't at all about pity per se. For those of us who grew up with his movies, seeing him come back s sorta like running into an old friend at the grocery store.
Ke Huy Quan went from being a refugee as a child, to becoming an Oscar winning actor. He is really very inspiring, and he’s a role model for people who come from impoverished backgrounds. The sky’s the limit, you can do anything if you reach out and take it.
I'm overjoyed with the renaissance Brendan and Key Huy Quan's careers are going through at the moment. They're both talented actors and deserve all of the praise they're currently receiving.
you can tell Brendan is such an empath. he looked close to tears at certain points listening to everyone’s stories. really enjoyed this round table. one of the best i’ve seen in a long time. no ego, no pride, just people sharing their lives and struggles with pure honesty. it felt therapeutic, for them and for us.
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again, Brandon Frasier is too pure for this world, and he must be protected at all costs. It’s a rare gift from the Gods to get a human on this planet that doesn’t hold grudges when he has every right too always looks out for the people around him and only ever exudes humbleness and genuine kindness for others
I'm 48, and he was my celeb crush for over a decade...and he's still just as attractive 30 years later because he's just a great human. Don't know him personally, but it's obvious he's a great man.
wow brendan telling kee "we're still here" its so touching... its beautiful to see them flourishing again after decades its so inspiring and it really shows your dreams are NEVER old...
I feel like Adam isn't getting enough love in the comments. Hearing the way that other actors have talked about him helping them stand up for themselves (Terry Crews for instance) and how he's just a normal dad/guy outside of acting is just amazing. He genuinely cares so much about people
I feel like it's not too big of a deal? Because he's been on a roundtable before, think of it as a legend returning with different stars 🤷🏾♂️. It kind of does suck but it's great we got to hear from the other guys especially Brendan, Austin and Ke.
There was probably stuff left out of the edit, that maybe he was asked. He also seemed to be very quiet anyway, maybe to give others more room to speak, or maybe he was more comfortable listening.
I am genuinely happy for Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, it was a difficult journey for them but they persevered and are now being recognized for their talent 😊❤
Both, big parts of my childhood. Just started watching the mummy with my 12yr old boy. I can't yell you how many times "Indy!" has run through my head over the past 25 yrs lol I'll be watching Indiana Jones after we finish the mummy series
17:33 Austin's story really moved me , I was so engaged in his conversation , he's really got that charm, depth , profoundness and humbleness as an actor!
Ke Huy Quan just won a Golden Globe for his performance and watching this at the same time as his speech is just mind-blogging. It is so well-deserved I’m so happy for him
The fact Spielberg over the course of a most 40 years constantly wrote and sent Key a Christmas gift is incredible. That has to help your confidence, and say you know what I’m gonna do this again and never give up. Key was very inspirational in this.
I'm not familiar with Jeremy Pope but I am very happy I found him because he is amazing. I love how all of them gave space and support to one another. This was beautiful.
You know what wasn’t at this table? Ego, all of these guys who are at different points in their lives and careers have no ego. It’s refreshing to see, love how authentic and genuine they are. I wish all of them the best of luck and that they remember the advice they all shared. ❤
Austin is just so awesome. His mom is so proud of him! I love watching these men, all of them, intently listening to each other, learning from each other, so interested in each other’s stories.
Is it just me or is this the best round table i’ve seen to date? I was left completely speechless and extremely invested in every single individual story and perspective.
I think the beauty of this roundtable is how all the actors left their egos behind and opened up to being vulnerable. Talking about their insecurities. And I think this was in part thanks to ke huy quan, who from the beginning set the tone for how the dynamic of the conversation was going to be. His humble and very down to earth way of telling about his life experience, made the atmosphere relaxed and made everyone feel in a safe space to talk not only about the success or situations inside the sets, but also about the fears and moments that influenced their life. Also the interviewer takes part of the reward for this incredible interview, because he was able to navigate topics that can be uncomfortable and delicate for people in a very open but yet respectful way. Bravo!
It’s so sad that we were ROBBED of Brendan and Ke for sooooo long! It’s sad but beautiful at the exact same time. I really hope they both catch fire again, after these roles. Because the world and Hollywood DESPERATELY needs more of all of these guys! Their hearts, love, empathy and humility! Rather than the shallow idiots who have ruined the industry. Would be amazing to see a few movies with all of these brilliant and beautiful people together! Edit: thanks for all the likes. Might be the most likes a comment of mine has gotten. I wouldn’t have even known, about all the likes had someone not commented on it!
Colin seems such a self-aware dude. As he ages, I like him more and more as an actor. Such a caring group - watching these guys intently listening to each other and really trying to understand all points of view, is amazing....
I would say the opposite! He seems to be the only one from the six who lacks self awareness. Just talks a lot of Hollywood nonsense like with each sentence he’s trying to say something so profound and clever.
He did open up out about the failure of Alexander. I don’t understand BF’s reference to “Gatorade” when the potty tipped over. Why doesn’t he say sewage or something?
@@cbierman17 You can always spot a "hater" for a lack of better word (cynic might work) because the depth of their issue with an individual goes no further than finding them to be pretentious or a "pseudo-intellectual". If I didn't know any better I would think were not watching the same interview because I'm not sure how you would come away with this based off how clearly intelligent and introspective he is. Like who you want but cmon bro lmao.
Jeremy representing and protecting the person he was portraying is SO beautiful. If an actor ever portrayed me, I would want them to have that much passion.
Colin Farrell is the perfect example of how a person can completely change who they are. Not just by maturing but through hard work and being a better human being.
yes i agree, when he first made it big wow he was like a firework and it went right to his head. as with time and maturity he is a deep thinking humble guy now, and its humbling to see all these guys each with their own trials and tribulations
I didn't know he had an accent. I didn't know it was him until I saw his name. Last time I paid attention to him, he was experiencing substance abuse, but he looks amazing now!
Brendan being here is sweet. And Colin being an intellectual and sharing his thoughts “expectation is a dangerous thing” is such an insightful thought provoking conversation from him. Everyone at this table is great. This is perhaps the best roundtable in a while.
We all have idealistic views of how things will go for us when we're young and nearly everyone goes through the humbling before their 20's are over usually. Those that aren't humbled or don't learn from it are the ones that have major issues for the rest of their life and don't reach their full potential.
The juxtaposition of Ke's story and Colin's story is interesting to say the least. The fact that they ended up on the same table - finally embraced by millions of people, allowing them to embrace their craft while still caring about their audience is nothing short of a miracle.
When Jeremy shared what his therapist said, I had the same reaction everyone in that room did…nothing but value. The drive to push everyone away that Austin spoke about as he dealt with grief and depression…thats whats ive been doing for years. It was important to hear that the difference is he always did one more even when he was full of doubt.
That's kind of the theme of the whole discussion; always assume there's a reason why you should get out of the house, do the thing that scares you. It was a matter of hope against hope in several of their stories.
At about 26 minutes, Ke starts speaking about his journey back into acting and the industry, and it is mesmerizing. At one point, a few minutes in, there is a shot showing ALL of the actors turning to him with full attention, completely rapt in his story, fully engaged and empathizing with his journey; his uncertainty, his nervousness, his doubts, etc. What a lovely demonstration of the depth of human stories, their poignancy, and importance. Thank you for showing this.
I know which moment you're referring to. It's frankly such a wonderful, wholesome moment. The laughter when everyone realised who Ke's lawyer is... just so adorable 😂🥰
@@flodobaggins yes indeed. And how Colin is so empathetic about him being out of the industry for "25 years bruther!". And how engaged they all were, especially Austin, when he talks about the work he put in, just to get the audition right; a dialogue coach, a movement coach, an acting coach, etc. They ALL got it. And how Brendon, arm over the back of the chair, turns himself fully to listen to Ke. Lovely to see the support they all gave each other.
@@matthewharris3898 Yes, YES, YESS!! I loved that moment when Jeremy Pope said, "That thing! There's that thing!" when Ke had doubts about getting the Waymond part. That relatable moment!
I think Ke has demonstrated his willingness to be vulnerable about the challenges in his career, and self-doubt that is so relatable, and that is inviting the roundtable (and everyone he's interviewed with) to lean into truly listening and empathizing. I can feel how much this means to Ke, so I'm rooting for him!
This Roundtable made me cry in minutes. Ke is awesome, as are Brandon & the others. Adam was class act taking the back seat & letting others be in the spotline to enjoy the moment they've been waiting for so long.
Colin Farrell, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan all seem so genuinely excited and seem to be actively listening and encouraging the conversation along. Austin Butler and Jeremy Pope are just riveting to listen to, their voices are so melodic and soothingly pleasant.
I didn’t realize how committed he was to doing his own stunts when he was younger. Makes you wonder if he would have walked away from the craft if he’d treated his body better early on. Regardless his journey is amazing and fascinating
@@CiviTac It wasn’t about his body. Look up what happened to Brendan Fraser man…he’s been through the ringer. Ex-wife drained his accounts. He was blacklisted afterwards and couldn’t get acting jobs anywhere. He tried to speak up about harassment, is why he was blacklisted. All of that during the time his wife was draining his bank accounts from every movie, stunt, and determination he’s ever had in his life. Hopefully now, he can heal and begin his new life the way he wants to. She didn’t “steal” the money, the courts allowed her to take almost all of it. California had very bad laws back then for men in his position, and he wasn’t properly protected from it happening either. The worst case scenario in a divorce, happened to him. Along with worst case scenario for his career as well. After that…there isn’t much left. That can really break you. However, there is probably much more to his story. I hope he gets his own film made about his life & career. It would be magnificent.
Bringing this specific group of actors together is the perfect blend of people who are all in very different points in their career. Brendan and Ke are making a huge comeback into the industry, Austin and Jermey are breaking into the big leagues with some critical acclaim and Adam and Colin are making shifts with their style of acting. It's a beautiful thing that despite them being at different points they can still all relate through their craft.
Ke Huy Quan truly seems like one of the most genuine, humble, and beautiful souls in the world. All these guys are amazing, but Ke and Brendan, in particular, just strike me as so deserving of their success and happiness.
yea i absolutely love that, it was deep and meaningful, dont for the straight line go for the ups and downs feel the high and lows and just find your ground level and relax
I cried hearing how Brendan and Ke reconnect and support each other. Not to mention the amount of gravity and respect Brendan brings to light for the themes of the Whale and the COVID environment it was made. You can tell how into the conversation Colin is, how he even feels comfortable enough to lean onto the table and put his head down. Austin and Jeremy talk so much about respecting the truth of each of their real-life characters to justice. I am amazed at how much care they are giving each other. Amazing group of men.
50:40 is just beautiful. Brendan Fraser completely engrosses you because of how emotive and gentle he is. Everyone just instinctively leans in; Absolutely loved this round table
Coming to this group interview after the Oscars is so cool to watch. Brendan and Ke are such genuine guys. Colin also felt extremely warm towards these guys. Great stuff.
Austin's "this friend" that kept telling him he should play Elvis... Vanessa Hudgens! This was such a great hour of fantastic stories and actors. Loved it!
@@cfinley81 Yes, i think the same, if he had used the word, "ex-girlfrined", the press would talk about it everywhere and the propose of the interview will be missed.
As much as I adore all of the actors at this table I am obsessed with how beautifully Colin's career has aged. From Hollywood party boy in his youth to an incredibly thoughtful, well spoken actor as he's gotten older. Such a wonderful performer to watch
I feel like Brendan Fraser has so much emotional intelligence in part because of how difficult these past years have been for him. Such a humble and empathetic human. Very happy he overcame and prevailed!
I thinK Brendan had early success but was sick of it, and then had Injuries. They all like Austin it seems. He's being quiet and humble. But Austin is very grateful too. He worked very hard and elvis is so loved. His portrayal made me cry at times. I'm 73 and grew up watching elvis so I know. He deserves the Oscar but I think Colin will get it. He has done some great roles. This one in Banshees I'm not too impressed with. It will be for his body of work. Austin is the one who is like a rocket going up. It's like Leo was. His career is going to explode.
I've met Ke several times. He's the most real, coolest dude on the planet. So happy for his re-found success, and acknowledgment....... Most deserving, Ke!
This was absolutely brilliant. No ego, just a room full of humility, love and passion. Could you imagine how much more Keanu Reeves could have added to this conversation? My goodness! This is so inspiring and needs to be watched by ANYONE who has a dream! WHATEVER YOU DO. DO. NOT. GIVE. UP!! And if no one has said it lately. I LOVE YOU and I BELIEVE IN YOU!! Now get up and chase your dreams!
@@tsunamipapi1343 go ahead and clown all you want. But it’s because of how humble and kind he is. Everyone in the Industry or have met him says that he’s the kindest, humblest, most sincere and giving person they have ever come across. So he would have been a great addition to this terrific group of humans. Plus, even though everyone looks at him as the superstar he is. he’s had his fair share of tragedy and heartbreak in his personal life along with a string of poor movie success at the box. His resurgence didn’t happen until the first John Wick came out. So he would have fit in perfectly and had some great advice/ wisdom to share for the others and the viewers.
@WheeIchairWolverine Keanu Reeves definitely would not be out if place in this company, but to be fair: he's never been out of the picture. He never stopped being a superstar.
I grew up watching Adam, Brendan and Ke, this was a nostalgic yet heartwarming interview Wasn’t expecting to cry but this really touched me This was not only a chat but a therapy session that they all needed I hope to see more from these actors
Throughout this whole interview, all I can see is Brendan Fraser, and it makes me emotional just seeing how happy he looks now. Thank you The Hollywood Reporter for consistently putting out these roundtables for different types of artists in the industry.
You can tell Brendan is always having a hard time talking like he doesn’t have a voice. We all want to listen to you talk forever Brendan! You have one of the most powerful voices of all time and I can’t get enough! ❤
@@nickschauer3299 i posted the other video because it was a one on one with AS & BF. They've been friends for 30 years. I thoroughly enjoyed the roundtable. It should have been longer. So, seriously seriously?
I've watched every single THR Roundtables and this is by far the most heartwarming and humble group I've ever seen. I hope Fraser and Ke Huy Quin keep getting amazing roles.
@@allthingswavy6420 agreed. They left more room for open dialogue and hardly talked about the technical piece of filmmaking and acting. They touched on the emotional aspect much more and it was great.
These roundtable discussions are phenomenal. In a world where everything seems empty and hopeless, they give people hope. Just seeing these guys down to earth and expressing their true feelings with the struggles they've been through is such an inspiration.
Seeing Ke Huy Quan makes me wanna cry, I know how major this must feel, to just have that feeling you’ve always wanted with people you saw doing their thing in the film industry to now being seated with them and being recognized. Feeling like you’ve waited as long as you could to considering having to say goodbye and seeing a change and going after it again, as he said “to give voice to his dream again”- such a huge thing. I can’t stop crying 😭
Hearing Ke tell his story with passion and happiness is really inspiring, and I'm glad he got his comeback especially with my personal favorite movie of 2022
This is honestly the best roundtable I've ever seen. I cried like a baby multiple times during the course of this video. What an absolutely magical lineup.
When Ke won his Golden Globe, while he was giving his now legendary acceptance speech, the camera panned to some audience reactions and Colin Farrell looked like he was about to cry. I bet this roundtable conversation had a lot to do with that.
@@RaymondHng it is perfectly acceptable to call the “Ke” as a nickname, at the very least. We have a lot of “John Mark”s in our culture that also have a middle name, but still just call them “John”. I don’t think Mr. Quan really cares, anyway.
@@XX2Media His actual Chinese name is 繼威 which is where his Vietnamese name _Kế Huy_ is transliterated from. 繼威 means "following prestige". If you were to shorten it to _Ke_ , you are shortening the meaning of his name to just "following".
Hearing these men it was clear to me why I never pursued a dream of acting. The emotional vulnerability and the courage to express it. Inspirational men.
i used to do commercial acting as a teen and even that was too overwhelming for me, i just lost so much passion i once had…the roles you are expected to play and constantly type-cast into makes u believe u ALWAYS have to be a certain type of person/look&act a certain way or u won’t make any money…it’s exhausting, i’m happy for these guys though, ur correct in them being inspirational
I’ve had more than one opportunity in my lifetime to pursue acting & music. For me it wasn’t the vulnerability of the craft. It was the lack of privacy that comes with success and my fearing an inability to handle it. I love creating and performing but that intrusion into my personal life seemed more of a detriment then the allure of fame was enticing.
@@mrh3085 You definitely pay a price, especially as time goes on with how much every word you say or every picture taken of you is talked about and twisted one way or another. Privacy is such a sacred thing, but so easy to lose, especially in that profession. Much like jobs such as teaching, you really have to love acting and want that to be the only thing you do for the rest of your life. It has to mean everything to you, otherwise the risk will feel too severe and intimidating.
Hearing about Austin's struggle as a young adult (dealing with his mom's passing at a young age) and as an actor (not doing the jobs he wants to do) trying to figure out things nearly got me emotional,
I completely did not realise that was him in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood! Wow! He'll be glad to have worked with Tarantino after the thing about he and his Mum.
Having A-list actors talk glowingly about each other is such a healthy, refreshing scene. I wish every profession had this roundtable concept. The world would be more empathetic and caring.
The LA times made an actors roundtable just last week that also had Austin, Brendan, and Adam, as well as Bill Nighy, Paul Dano and Jonathan Majors. Look it up, it was great.
Not really. When Jeremy Pope talks about being an artist, and evolving, it was disgusting. Reading scripts and taking directions doesn’t make someone an artist, and that whole self-importance thing just tells me some of these actors have a horrible view of the world. These guys are so caught up in their own distorted view of the world that they have no idea what the average person goes through and holding them up with the ‘it’s so nice that these actors can talk nicely with each other! How refreshing!’ attitude is despicable. Being kind to fellow millionaires is nothing something to pat these guys on the backs about - their egos don’t need massaging any further.
@@Sweetstar00 SHOULD, but won’t. The attitude and make up of staff in a lot of organisations is so diverse it’s almost inevitable that not everyone will get along. If someone isn’t pulling their weight and coasting for example, why would a hard worker acknowledge their work-shy colleague or be nice to them? The only way you’re going to get an attitude of respect and love in a workplace environment is if everyone is on the same page.
Yes we love Brendan and Colin but let’s take a moment to appreciate how grateful and humble Key is here. He made one of the absolute best performances this year! Made me cry in theaters.
Hearing Austin talk about Lisa Marie just days before she passed made the story of Elvis and his family so much more real. I'm glad they were able to do the project before she left.
@@FeIix_the_Cat Collin seems just very loud boisterous, it reads like I want attention, but it could be he just gets really into it. I think he can be perceived as overbearing rather than spotlight hogging
@@darrenthetuber743 If I were eating at a table with that type of individual I'd see he interrupts conversations between others often, gives opinions on matters often, he's louder than the others often, and he attempts to come across as a humble guy with referencing his past failures often with odd body language when he's finally quiet. All I see is ego here.
Can we give a shout out to the moderator/host! An expert at posing the right questions to the right people at the right time. It’s a skill to keep a balanced conversation going. Great job.
I agree 100% Unlike other moderators he didn't constantly interrupt the actors, like you said he knew when to interject and keep the conversation going or when to change subject.
@@XLTBlarg I know exactly who you're referring to with your comment about interrupting. That guy was horrendous as a host, always talking over the stories the guests were telling. Hopefully this means THR have taken him off this job.
Key Huy Quan's telling of his journey was so powerful and that was just the beginning of this video. So happy it worked out for him, what a passionate and well-deserving actor.
Brendon Fraser's role in The Whale was one of the most incredible performances ever done. With a script so close to perfection, Brendon delivers a performance that is poignant, believable and world class, truly worthy of Oscar and the benefits that follow.
@@MsTriangle well, with performances like the ones we got, and the incredible direction from Aronofsky, who I’m not particularly a fan of, it’s easy to say that, but it’s a great script. A lot of twists I didn’t see, and a very unique story. Amazing film.
I was deeply moved by Ke's first words. It's amazing that Hollywood and most of world has evolved into a place where talent can have a chance, no matter the way it's presented. Also Brendan breaking up while talking about his movie is beautiful. You can see how much he cares about his character and you can only imagine all the passion that went into his interpretation.
This was so refreshing, every single man at that table was actively listening to each other. The respect for each other just oozed through, truly enjoyably to watch. Very inspiring
One of my favorites roundtables over the years, all these lads feel incredibly authentic and humble which I appreciate immensely because they seem willing to explore and learn as artists and individuals. As an Irishman, I am biased in wanting Farrell or Mescal to win best actor but I have huge love for Fraser and Butler too.
Yes, these lads are all amazing actors, and all seem super humble. Any one of them could potentially get the oscar, but I'm rooting for either Butler or Fraser.
I just saw The Banshees Of Inisherin today so it was amazing to run across this video almost immediately afterwards. What a story! Farrell was amazing. I've seen Austin's and Adam's movies and they were great too. I need to see the other three now.
Whoever had an idea to gather all these beautiful people deserves a raise. All their stories, so different and unique, their journeys and paths lead them to that table and made a grown man tearful. Thank you.
Sir, I respectfully disagree. Brendan is an International Treasure, beloved by everyone around the globe. And I wholeheartedly agree about how everyone just gravitated to him. It's like seeing your best friend make his way back, and getting the admiration he so deserves.
What really bothered me hearing Ke's story is that if his work on Everything Everywhere All at Once is any indication, we as a film loving public were robbed of 20 years of potentially incredible performances.
😢
You're right. Let's just appreciate what we get to see. Kinda like how addiction robbed us of Samuel L Jackson's youthful performances
Very true. His speech about just being kind to each other in Everything Everywhere had me bawling. And how emotional and different his version of Waymond was compared to the other version(s), just amazing.
WOW! never looked at it that way
Hopefully this will pay way for future artists who'll not miss out on opportunities
Ke Huy Quan's unabashed honesty from the opening, set the tone for the entire session... best roundtable... watched till the last second.
It really did set the tone perfectly.
i can't believe data is up for an oscar, so insane.
I thought the same thing right after he spoke and saw their faces
@@jp-sn6si at the begining i was like who is this guy and when i realized it was shortround i was so pumped that all these years later he is getting back into it.

The way Brenden looks at everyone with such sincerity and focus is so sweet and REAL. It's so see these men just be open and talk.
I genuinely love the support from the fellow actors 💌💌 like the awards Butler for example stood up happy for Fraser like, he knew he had his whole career ahead & that Fraser thought ppl forgot about him. Very sweet
I'm better looking
And yet Brendan is more attractive! Interesting how that works
Colin Farrell and Brendan Fraser are engulfed in this conversation. You can tell when someone is truly listening just by their body language. Brendan is about to cry at points in other people's stories and Colin almost looks childish in his wonder. What cool people.
Well said 👏
I totally love how both Brendan Fraser and Colin Farrell are so invested in everybody's story and always giving vocal or physical affirmations. AustIn Butler, too... that intent listening, leaning forward.
Ke as well!
I was thinking the same thing from the very beginning. I like to see when others really seem interested.

About time Ke Huy Quan gets a spot at these roundtables, with such a great panel, too!

Probably cause there very little roles for East Asian actors, outside of action movies.
@@petesmart1983 Not anymore. Diversity is being pushed full force and rightfully so. This is not the 40s and America is no longer white. The cinema must reflect that, and Oscars should be given accordingly. Every talented individual deserves and chance to prove themselves worthy.

Just look at how engaged Brendan is with Austin. He really connects with his struggle. I love this group of actors. Really great watch
Some of the best chemistry ever on this roundtable. No competition, no ego, just some grounded, great guys listening to each other’s truths.

It's a bunch of rich guys stroking themselves off
Did you say no ego? 🤨
No ego💀💀💀

He's Irish. They tend to have a way with words, and the Nobel Prize agrees.
It is a revelation for me too. He is so intelligent.
if you havent seen the Lobster, watch it, its the weirdest - yet amazing (off the wall) movie he's done...
@eternal monstrosity What a stupid response. Lol.
He's Irish, poetry comes naturally, born in hardship, or it's called blarney.

brenaissance 😩
SHORTROUND❤
@@StonedCabbage you're average
Being a GenX I will always remember John Travoltas comeback in Pulp fiction. Epic
you can tell Brendan is such an empath. he looked close to tears at certain points listening to everyone’s stories. really enjoyed this round table. one of the best i’ve seen in a long time. no ego, no pride, just people sharing their lives and struggles with pure honesty. it felt therapeutic, for them and for us.
agree
He really is. I knew very little about him and recently watched him being interviewed and i was just so impressed by his humanity and warmth.
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again, Brandon Frasier is too pure for this world, and he must be protected at all costs. It’s a rare gift from the Gods to get a human on this planet that doesn’t hold grudges when he has every right too always looks out for the people around him and only ever exudes humbleness and genuine kindness for others
I'm 48, and he was my celeb crush for over a decade...and he's still just as attractive 30 years later because he's just a great human. Don't know him personally, but it's obvious he's a great man.
It’s Brandon
wow brendan telling kee "we're still here" its so touching... its beautiful to see them flourishing again after decades its so inspiring and it really shows your dreams are NEVER old...
Super touching. He has been through a lot but he is back now in a big way!
"Working with Harrison Ford was pretty much the nail in our coffins."
Absolutely correct.
Every time Brendan is about to cry I can't help but think of his super sensitive variant from Bedazzled lol
His personal name is two words "Ke Huy". His surname is Quan. There is no concept of a "middle name" in East Asian names.
53:18 *_"WE'RE STILL HERE."_*
This line got me to burst into tears. I love these guys. Best roundtable ever.
.. it was just deep 🧐😅
gay and cringe
This wasn't just a roundtable talk,
This was a meeting of men of culture. This was easily one of my favorite interviews. Thank you guys
This was great episode!
Yessir, my kind of show
I agree!! This roundtable was amazing and heartwarming.
100% agree this was so powerful to listen to all these men
"This was a meeting of men of culture." Beautifully said! This is def one of my favorite roundtables as well.
Brendan is such a great listener. You can tell he's empathetic.
You can tell he’s gone through so much. He’s truly seen it all. What a guy!
hes acting
He’s an actor. It’s his job to make you believe he’s what you want him to be.
He’s an actor
You can tell he is an intelligent dude
Colin Farell is so exciting to listen to. He's astonishingly articulate, emotive and engaged that he makes any conversation fascinating.
Gorgeous too
I still thought of him as that young cocky guy he portrayed himself to be so many years ago -- I have such a newfound respect for him now!
I couldn't agree more.
I was impressed by how much of an active listener he is
He’s also gone through and has been lucky enough to come out the other side of addiction. It teaches you a lot about yourself.
I loved Austin Butler saying after starting to break out of his shell, "I'm not self-conscious, but others-concious"...what a profound truth!
All I can see is that awesome face! I could not care less what he says…just kidding!
I feel like Adam isn't getting enough love in the comments. Hearing the way that other actors have talked about him helping them stand up for themselves (Terry Crews for instance) and how he's just a normal dad/guy outside of acting is just amazing. He genuinely cares so much about people
The host totally skipped on him with one of the questions and didn't get enough time to talk.
I feel like it's not too big of a deal? Because he's been on a roundtable before, think of it as a legend returning with different stars 🤷🏾♂️. It kind of does suck but it's great we got to hear from the other guys especially Brendan, Austin and Ke.
We got adam a few times on roundtable...he is just letting the others shine more
There was probably stuff left out of the edit, that maybe he was asked. He also seemed to be very quiet anyway, maybe to give others more room to speak, or maybe he was more comfortable listening.
That's exactly why he was comfortable listening
This wasn't just a roundtable, it was a full on therapy session.
Exactly!
Real
Too much for me lol
so true
Facts, this left me so inspired and thankful for the insight the actors gave us with this
I am genuinely happy for Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, it was a difficult journey for them but they persevered and are now being recognized for their talent 😊❤

i’m looking for every project hims right now
You know what wasn’t at this table? Ego, all of these guys who are at different points in their lives and careers have no ego. It’s refreshing to see, love how authentic and genuine they are. I wish all of them the best of luck and that they remember the advice they all shared. ❤
Agreed! That's what I love most about each of them, no ego.
Disagree completely
Elvis wannabe has a fairly solid ego
Austin is just so awesome. His mom is so proud of him! I love watching these men, all of them, intently listening to each other, learning from each other, so interested in each other’s stories.
Perfectly stated.
Is it just me or is this the best round table i’ve seen to date? I was left completely speechless and extremely invested in every single individual story and perspective.
Yeah, totally..
the only one I've actually felt the desire to finish
My thoughts exactly, I love and respect all these actors.
it truly is!
Definitely. Very engaging. Very authentic. Very passionate.
I think the beauty of this roundtable is how all the actors left their egos behind and opened up to being vulnerable. Talking about their insecurities. And I think this was in part thanks to ke huy quan, who from the beginning set the tone for how the dynamic of the conversation was going to be. His humble and very down to earth way of telling about his life experience, made the atmosphere relaxed and made everyone feel in a safe space to talk not only about the success or situations inside the sets, but also about the fears and moments that influenced their life. Also the interviewer takes part of the reward for this incredible interview, because he was able to navigate topics that can be uncomfortable and delicate for people in a very open but yet respectful way. Bravo!
The compassionate look on Brandon's face when Austin was talking about his mom made me cry.
He can definitely understand the loss there. They have it in common. I agree. It was so sweet. 💖
Brendan*
The dejection on Austin's face when he remembers his mom's last months hurt. She should be here.
“Be patient. Be patient. Your time will come.” - Ke Huy Quan
so simple but brought tears to my eyes ❤
every time that man speaks i cry. he's so heartfelt
but he gave up thought and someone else made the time happen for him. I am a bit confused? or idk
Such a beautiful way to think of things
I love Short round 🥰
Colin & Brendan are so obviously into this entire conversation. It’s touching and beautiful. Also the humility shown by Adam as Ke is very special.
Colin & Brendan are both Scrubs alumni. What a great show. Brendan should have won an Emmy from his role as Ben Sullivan.

Austin Butler holding the attention of everyone at that table was fantastic.
You could hear the nervousness in his voice.
Dude's also the spitting image of Johnny Depp circa 21 Jump Street and Nightmare on Elm Street.
It’s so sad that we were ROBBED of Brendan and Ke for sooooo long! It’s sad but beautiful at the exact same time. I really hope they both catch fire again, after these roles. Because the world and Hollywood DESPERATELY needs more of all of these guys! Their hearts, love, empathy and humility! Rather than the shallow idiots who have ruined the industry. Would be amazing to see a few movies with all of these brilliant and beautiful people together!
Edit: thanks for all the likes. Might be the most likes a comment of mine has gotten. I wouldn’t have even known, about all the likes had someone not commented on it!
couldn't agree more!
Well said, These men and the public were robbed.
A big reason why they are that way, like Brendan said, is that they were humbled.
Hollywood blackballs them for decades and then congratulate themselves when they let them work again lol what a cruel joke
@@peters4115 right?? Hollywood is about as crooked as politics!!
Colin seems such a self-aware dude. As he ages, I like him more and more as an actor. Such a caring group - watching these guys intently listening to each other and really trying to understand all points of view, is amazing....
I would say the opposite! He seems to be the only one from the six who lacks self awareness. Just talks a lot of Hollywood nonsense like with each sentence he’s trying to say something so profound and clever.
@@cbierman17i think he just doesn’t care about retaliation and says everything that comes to mind, I feel like everyone else is just holding back

@@cbierman17 You can always spot a "hater" for a lack of better word (cynic might work) because the depth of their issue with an individual goes no further than finding them to be pretentious or a "pseudo-intellectual".

@@kiana7581 now I want to see encino man again lol
💯💯
Jeremy representing and protecting the person he was portraying is SO beautiful. If an actor ever portrayed me, I would want them to have that much passion.
Colin Farrell is the perfect example of how a person can completely change who they are. Not just by maturing but through hard work and being a better human being.
Going sober can have a massive impact
yes i agree, when he first made it big wow he was like a firework and it went right to his head. as with time and maturity he is a deep thinking humble guy now, and its humbling to see all these guys each with their own trials and tribulations
He is on one of the best runs any actor has ever had in history. And I am so glad I am here for it.
I didn't know he had an accent. I didn't know it was him until I saw his name. Last time I paid attention to him, he was experiencing substance abuse, but he looks amazing now!
Sobriety can do that to you
Brendan being here is sweet. And Colin being an intellectual and sharing his thoughts “expectation is a dangerous thing” is such an insightful thought provoking conversation from him. Everyone at this table is great. This is perhaps the best roundtable in a while.
We all have idealistic views of how things will go for us when we're young and nearly everyone goes through the humbling before their 20's are over usually. Those that aren't humbled or don't learn from it are the ones that have major issues for the rest of their life and don't reach their full potential.
Brendan and Colin are goats
This was beautiful to see. Sooo insightful-great to see Brendan Fraser…
0:46 Great to see this particularly eclectic posse
You should watch Colin's Hot Ones interview. Wonderful, insightful guy.
The juxtaposition of Ke's story and Colin's story is interesting to say the least. The fact that they ended up on the same table - finally embraced by millions of people, allowing them to embrace their craft while still caring about their audience is nothing short of a miracle.
THIS!
I could not agree with you more
When Jeremy shared what his therapist said, I had the same reaction everyone in that room did…nothing but value. The drive to push everyone away that Austin spoke about as he dealt with grief and depression…thats whats ive been doing for years. It was important to hear that the difference is he always did one more even when he was full of doubt.
I hope you are you are doing better now!
That's kind of the theme of the whole discussion; always assume there's a reason why you should get out of the house, do the thing that scares you. It was a matter of hope against hope in several of their stories.
49:34 .... just to reply that moment too.
At about 26 minutes, Ke starts speaking about his journey back into acting and the industry, and it is mesmerizing. At one point, a few minutes in, there is a shot showing ALL of the actors turning to him with full attention, completely rapt in his story, fully engaged and empathizing with his journey; his uncertainty, his nervousness, his doubts, etc.
What a lovely demonstration of the depth of human stories, their poignancy, and importance. Thank you for showing this.
I know which moment you're referring to. It's frankly such a wonderful, wholesome moment. The laughter when everyone realised who Ke's lawyer is... just so adorable 😂🥰
@@flodobaggins yes indeed. And how Colin is so empathetic about him being out of the industry for "25 years bruther!". And how engaged they all were, especially Austin, when he talks about the work he put in, just to get the audition right; a dialogue coach, a movement coach, an acting coach, etc. They ALL got it. And how Brendon, arm over the back of the chair, turns himself fully to listen to Ke. Lovely to see the support they all gave each other.
@@matthewharris3898 Yes, YES, YESS!! I loved that moment when Jeremy Pope said, "That thing! There's that thing!" when Ke had doubts about getting the Waymond part. That relatable moment!
Most probably because they all grew up watching Goonies & Indiana Jones. He's kinda childhood hero for a whole generation.
I think Ke has demonstrated his willingness to be vulnerable about the challenges in his career, and self-doubt that is so relatable, and that is inviting the roundtable (and everyone he's interviewed with) to lean into truly listening and empathizing. I can feel how much this means to Ke, so I'm rooting for him!
The tenderness between Brendan Fraser & Ke Huy Quan made me shed some tears.
"We're still here "
I'll remember that.
I had no idea I could love Colin Farrell even more.
yup. such a beautiful way he talks and describes his thoughts!
You should watch interviews with Brendan, they are so lovely together, funny and sweet
The meeting he had with Jamie Lee Curtis is so touching at times, and full of lively and curious conversation, well worth a watch.
up the irish
He have always been a great Actor. And got better as he got older
This Roundtable made me cry in minutes. Ke is awesome, as are Brandon & the others. Adam was class act taking the back seat & letting others be in the spotline to enjoy the moment they've been waiting for so long.
Colin Farrell, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan all seem so genuinely excited and seem to be actively listening and encouraging the conversation along. Austin Butler and Jeremy Pope are just riveting to listen to, their voices are so melodic and soothingly pleasant.
I loved all of these men. Real emotion and honesty🔥
Yes! I was emersed into listening to both of them as they were speaking. Especially Jeremy Pope. HIs voice is so melodic.
Its a pleasure seeing Brendan back, the guy truly deserves more than he got
I didn’t realize how committed he was to doing his own stunts when he was younger. Makes you wonder if he would have walked away from the craft if he’d treated his body better early on. Regardless his journey is amazing and fascinating
@@CiviTac It wasn’t about his body. Look up what happened to Brendan Fraser man…he’s been through the ringer. Ex-wife drained his accounts. He was blacklisted afterwards and couldn’t get acting jobs anywhere. He tried to speak up about harassment, is why he was blacklisted. All of that during the time his wife was draining his bank accounts from every movie, stunt, and determination he’s ever had in his life. Hopefully now, he can heal and begin his new life the way he wants to. She didn’t “steal” the money, the courts allowed her to take almost all of it. California had very bad laws back then for men in his position, and he wasn’t properly protected from it happening either. The worst case scenario in a divorce, happened to him. Along with worst case scenario for his career as well. After that…there isn’t much left. That can really break you. However, there is probably much more to his story. I hope he gets his own film made about his life & career. It would be magnificent.
@EverythingNerdyand Jennifer Coolidge - the comeback era and I’m so happy for it 😍
Bringing this specific group of actors together is the perfect blend of people who are all in very different points in their career. Brendan and Ke are making a huge comeback into the industry, Austin and Jermey are breaking into the big leagues with some critical acclaim and Adam and Colin are making shifts with their style of acting. It's a beautiful thing that despite them being at different points they can still all relate through their craft.
I second this!
@@wackywaitresslv2786 I THIRD IT!!!
Spot on!
Colin is not making a shift now, he did it 10-15 years ago.
Colin seems the same.
Ke Huy Quan truly seems like one of the most genuine, humble, and beautiful souls in the world. All these guys are amazing, but Ke and Brendan, in particular, just strike me as so deserving of their success and happiness.
One of the best roundtable, especially from Jeremy. “Life is all about ups and downs, if your life is flat, you’re dead.” Best take away.
yea i absolutely love that, it was deep and meaningful, dont for the straight line go for the ups and downs feel the high and lows and just find your ground level and relax
Reasons I stopped Zoloft😂😂worst years of my life
I love that he said that. It's definitely been a mantra that's helped me through a lot of low points, too. ❤️
I cried hearing how Brendan and Ke reconnect and support each other. Not to mention the amount of gravity and respect Brendan brings to light for the themes of the Whale and the COVID environment it was made. You can tell how into the conversation Colin is, how he even feels comfortable enough to lean onto the table and put his head down. Austin and Jeremy talk so much about respecting the truth of each of their real-life characters to justice. I am amazed at how much care they are giving each other. Amazing group of men.
All. I love you all. But Jeremy is.
There's NO AI in this Universe that can ever replace REAL PEOPLE INTERACTING AND TELLING REAL STORIES ON OR OFF THE SCREEN!!
50:40 is just beautiful. Brendan Fraser completely engrosses you because of how emotive and gentle he is. Everyone just instinctively leans in; Absolutely loved this round table

Coming to this group interview after the Oscars is so cool to watch. Brendan and Ke are such genuine guys. Colin also felt extremely warm towards these guys. Great stuff.
Austin's "this friend" that kept telling him he should play Elvis... Vanessa Hudgens! This was such a great hour of fantastic stories and actors. Loved it!

He has matured sooooo much and I love him more for it.

Here after the Oscars. So happy for Brendan and Ke .The most genuine and humble actors in Hollywood.
I feel like Brendan Fraser has so much emotional intelligence in part because of how difficult these past years have been for him. Such a humble and empathetic human.
Very happy he overcame and prevailed!
I thinK Brendan had early success but was sick of it, and then had Injuries. They all like Austin it seems. He's being quiet and humble. But Austin is very grateful too. He worked very hard and elvis is so loved. His portrayal made me cry at times. I'm 73 and grew up watching elvis so I know. He deserves the Oscar but I think Colin will get it. He has done some great roles. This one in Banshees I'm not too impressed with. It will be for his body of work. Austin is the one who is like a rocket going up. It's like Leo was. His career is going to explode.
I love how candid Colin Farrel is. Fraser and Ke Huy Quan being so appreciative of the opportunity. Austin and Jeremy so into the art. So beautiful.
and... adam

@@tsunamipapi1343 go ahead and clown all you want. But it’s because of how humble and kind he is. Everyone in the Industry or have met him says that he’s the kindest, humblest, most sincere and giving person they have ever come across. So he would have been a great addition to this terrific group of humans. Plus, even though everyone looks at him as the superstar he is. he’s had his fair share of tragedy and heartbreak in his personal life along with a string of poor movie success at the box. His resurgence didn’t happen until the first John Wick came out. So he would have fit in perfectly and had some great advice/ wisdom to share for the others and the viewers.
@WheeIchairWolverine Keanu Reeves definitely would not be out if place in this company, but to be fair: he's never been out of the picture. He never stopped being a superstar.
I love how active of a listener Colin Farrel is. He’s so invested in what everyone has to say
Yeah that's so cool
How proud Austin’s mom would be seeing where he is now and what he’s achieved.
I grew up watching Adam, Brendan and Ke, this was a nostalgic yet heartwarming interview
Wasn’t expecting to cry but this really touched me
This was not only a chat but a therapy session that they all needed
I hope to see more from these actors
Throughout this whole interview, all I can see is Brendan Fraser, and it makes me emotional just seeing how happy he looks now. Thank you The Hollywood Reporter for consistently putting out these roundtables for different types of artists in the industry.
AND HEALTHYY, the color on his face
You can tell Brendan is always having a hard time talking like he doesn’t have a voice. We all want to listen to you talk forever Brendan! You have one of the most powerful voices of all time and I can’t get enough! ❤

I really agree. I think the questions asked of the circle were perhaps more evolved than I've heard in other RT's . . . maybe?
@@allthingswavy6420 agreed. They left more room for open dialogue and hardly talked about the technical piece of filmmaking and acting. They touched on the emotional aspect much more and it was great.
They will, they are SO talented. Ke will be in the mcu soon.
These roundtable discussions are phenomenal. In a world where everything seems empty and hopeless, they give people hope. Just seeing these guys down to earth and expressing their true feelings with the struggles they've been through is such an inspiration.
Seeing Ke Huy Quan makes me wanna cry, I know how major this must feel, to just have that feeling you’ve always wanted with people you saw doing their thing in the film industry to now being seated with them and being recognized. Feeling like you’ve waited as long as you could to considering having to say goodbye and seeing a change and going after it again, as he said “to give voice to his dream again”- such a huge thing. I can’t stop crying 😭
sameeee
Hearing Ke tell his story with passion and happiness is really inspiring, and I'm glad he got his comeback especially with my personal favorite movie of 2022
Agreed
That movie was superb
His personal name is two words "Ke Huy". His surname is Quan. There is no concept of a "middle name" in East Asian names.
Empathy. All I saw consistently throughout the conversation was empathy. It warmed my heart to see so many beautiful humans in one room.
😂😂😂
yes, totally!!!
Absolutely!
the level of respect in this room is incredibly admirable. people providing space and sharing genuine interest in each other's stories is so cool
This is honestly the best roundtable I've ever seen. I cried like a baby multiple times during the course of this video. What an absolutely magical lineup.
is not the best. the one with tom hanks and jaime Foxx and de Niro was the best
Why was there anything to get sad about?
Agree and same hear. The first round table I have ever watched twice in a row.
@stephen geraghty you can cry from other emotions than sadness. I cried from the strong emotional outpouring throughout the entire hour.
@@stephengeraghty8009 🤦
When Ke won his Golden Globe, while he was giving his now legendary acceptance speech, the camera panned to some audience reactions and Colin Farrell looked like he was about to cry. I bet this roundtable conversation had a lot to do with that.
His personal name is two words "Ke Huy". His surname is Quan. There is no concept of a "middle name" in East Asian names.
@@RaymondHng it is perfectly acceptable to call the “Ke” as a nickname, at the very least. We have a lot of “John Mark”s in our culture that also have a middle name, but still just call them “John”. I don’t think Mr. Quan really cares, anyway.
@@XX2Media His actual Chinese name is 繼威 which is where his Vietnamese name _Kế Huy_ is transliterated from. 繼威 means "following prestige". If you were to shorten it to _Ke_ , you are shortening the meaning of his name to just "following".
Hearing these men it was clear to me why I never pursued a dream of acting. The emotional vulnerability and the courage to express it. Inspirational men.
i used to do commercial acting as a teen and even that was too overwhelming for me, i just lost so much passion i once had…the roles you are expected to play and constantly type-cast into makes u believe u ALWAYS have to be a certain type of person/look&act a certain way or u won’t make any money…it’s exhausting, i’m happy for these guys though, ur correct in them being inspirational
They work so hard for so little….
I’ve had more than one opportunity in my lifetime to pursue acting & music. For me it wasn’t the vulnerability of the craft. It was the lack of privacy that comes with success and my fearing an inability to handle it. I love creating and performing but that intrusion into my personal life seemed more of a detriment then the allure of fame was enticing.
@@mrh3085 You definitely pay a price, especially as time goes on with how much every word you say or every picture taken of you is talked about and twisted one way or another. Privacy is such a sacred thing, but so easy to lose, especially in that profession. Much like jobs such as teaching, you really have to love acting and want that to be the only thing you do for the rest of your life. It has to mean everything to you, otherwise the risk will feel too severe and intimidating.
the way i’m so fascinated by austin butler.
Hearing about Austin's struggle as a young adult (dealing with his mom's passing at a young age) and as an actor (not doing the jobs he wants to do) trying to figure out things nearly got me emotional,
Brendan was trying not to cry the whole time after Austin mentioned his mom.
I completely did not realise that was him in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood! Wow! He'll be glad to have worked with Tarantino after the thing about he and his Mum.
@@jakehines1196 Fraser's mother was a devout Catholic. She would be so ashamed of what he became.
@@ifyouonlyknew811 is that really necessary?
Booohooo he got jobs but he didn't like them :( meanwhile kehuyquan couldn't get a job at all
Having A-list actors talk glowingly about each other is such a healthy, refreshing scene. I wish every profession had this roundtable concept. The world would be more empathetic and caring.
The LA times made an actors roundtable just last week that also had Austin, Brendan, and Adam, as well as Bill Nighy, Paul Dano and Jonathan Majors. Look it up, it was great.
I love this concept! It should definitely be a thing in every workplace.
Try watching the Actors on Actors series from Variety. Its so nice to watch just open conversation between professionals
Not really.
When Jeremy Pope talks about being an artist, and evolving, it was disgusting.
Reading scripts and taking directions doesn’t make someone an artist, and that whole self-importance thing just tells me some of these actors have a horrible view of the world.
These guys are so caught up in their own distorted view of the world that they have no idea what the average person goes through and holding them up with the ‘it’s so nice that these actors can talk nicely with each other! How refreshing!’ attitude is despicable. Being kind to fellow millionaires is nothing something to pat these guys on the backs about - their egos don’t need massaging any further.
@@Sweetstar00 SHOULD, but won’t.
The attitude and make up of staff in a lot of organisations is so diverse it’s almost inevitable that not everyone will get along.
If someone isn’t pulling their weight and coasting for example, why would a hard worker acknowledge their work-shy colleague or be nice to them?
The only way you’re going to get an attitude of respect and love in a workplace environment is if everyone is on the same page.
I LOVE how honest Colin Farrell is. I don't think Ive watched an interview of/with him before, and he's so beautifully candid and full of perspective.
You just care cuz the way he looks!
@@SistoActivitatemAtm give over
Check out his Hot Ones episode. He's very introspective and thoughtful and talks so kindly about others.
You might want to check out his actors on actors interview with Jamie Lee Curtis. It was amazing.
Watch his interview with hugh grant
This was one of the most beautifully tender, tremendously inspiring, humbly broken conversations amongst men that I have ever had the privilege hear.
Yes we love Brendan and Colin but let’s take a moment to appreciate how grateful and humble Key is here. He made one of the absolute best performances this year! Made me cry in theaters.
Hearing Austin talk about Lisa Marie just days before she passed made the story of Elvis and his family so much more real. I'm glad they were able to do the project before she left.
I could watch another two hours of Brendan, Adam, and Colin caring for these young actors.
Its a brilliant and thoughtful assembly for that reason alone!
The way Colin spoke about Brendan had me tearing up 🥹 The gravitational pull of logic-defying connection. It's beautiful and irreplaceable.
Colin Farrell is such a charismatic conversationalist! He's so engaged and interested in the dialogue
I like Colin the most when he's being a maniac.
Plus his Irish brogue is just pleasant to listen to. It makes me smile.
He seemed to be begging for attention.
@@FeIix_the_Cat Collin seems just very loud boisterous, it reads like I want attention, but it could be he just gets really into it. I think he can be perceived as overbearing rather than spotlight hogging
@@darrenthetuber743
If I were eating at a table with that type of individual I'd see he interrupts conversations between others often, gives opinions on matters often, he's louder than the others often, and he attempts to come across as a humble guy with referencing his past failures often with odd body language when he's finally quiet.
All I see is ego here.
Can we give a shout out to the moderator/host! An expert at posing the right questions to the right people at the right time. It’s a skill to keep a balanced conversation going. Great job.
100% this deserves a lot of credit
I agree 100% Unlike other moderators he didn't constantly interrupt the actors, like you said he knew when to interject and keep the conversation going or when to change subject.
@@XLTBlarg I know exactly who you're referring to with your comment about interrupting. That guy was horrendous as a host, always talking over the stories the guests were telling. Hopefully this means THR have taken him off this job.
Ke Huy Quan is such a wholesome rolemodel he is truly a gift to the world of cinema. What a legend
Naw
You can just feel how much Brendan cares about this charachter, it's beautiful to see someone so passionate about their art, he's a joy to watch
Key Huy Quan's telling of his journey was so powerful and that was just the beginning of this video. So happy it worked out for him, what a passionate and well-deserving actor.
Brendon Fraser's role in The Whale was one of the most incredible performances ever done. With a script so close to perfection, Brendon delivers a performance that is poignant, believable and world class, truly worthy of Oscar and the benefits that follow.
I need to watch it asap then
The script was the weakest part of the movie
Austin should get the Oscar. He had to deliver one man that changed over 30 years, and show all those changes.
@@MsTriangle well, with performances like the ones we got, and the incredible direction from Aronofsky, who I’m not particularly a fan of, it’s easy to say that, but it’s a great script. A lot of twists I didn’t see, and a very unique story. Amazing film.
@@MsTriangle you really cant let them just enjoy the script? Really?
I was deeply moved by Ke's first words. It's amazing that Hollywood and most of world has evolved into a place where talent can have a chance, no matter the way it's presented.
Also Brendan breaking up while talking about his movie is beautiful. You can see how much he cares about his character and you can only imagine all the passion that went into his interpretation.
This was so refreshing, every single man at that table was actively listening to each other. The respect for each other just oozed through, truly enjoyably to watch. Very inspiring
One of my favorites roundtables over the years, all these lads feel incredibly authentic and humble which I appreciate immensely because they seem willing to explore and learn as artists and individuals. As an Irishman, I am biased in wanting Farrell or Mescal to win best actor but I have huge love for Fraser and Butler too.
Yes, these lads are all amazing actors, and all seem super humble. Any one of them could potentially get the oscar, but I'm rooting for either Butler or Fraser.
I'm rooting for Farrell or Fraser
I'm Irish too, and love them all but just thought Butler was too class as Elvis, performance of a lifetime , I'm rooting for him on this occasion
I just saw The Banshees Of Inisherin today so it was amazing to run across this video almost immediately afterwards.
What a story! Farrell was amazing.
I've seen Austin's and Adam's movies and they were great too.
I need to see the other three now.
Yes. All came across as really genuine and humble men! A beautiful and respectful sharing moment, for sure!
Whoever had an idea to gather all these beautiful people deserves a raise.
All their stories, so different and unique, their journeys and paths lead them to that table and made a grown man tearful.
Thank you.
Brendan is a national treasure, and you can see how intrigued by the conversation everybody was.
I can't get enough of Brendan. I can't wait to see what he gets to do next.
Sir, I respectfully disagree.
Brendan is an International Treasure, beloved by everyone around the globe.
And I wholeheartedly agree about how everyone just gravitated to him. It's like seeing your best friend make his way back, and getting the admiration he so deserves.
