I love how Brendan is really listening to what everyone is saying. He’s so pure. He seems so interested and fascinated by everyone. I love it
I saw your comment was at 99 Likes and my ADHD had to make 100. Now it’ll never be at 99 again! 😊
Same with Jonathan, he seems so intrigued
Glad you noticed it. I agree
There's so much pain but also appreciation in his voice. You can tell he's just happy to still be able to do what he loves.
Brendan Fraser hands down the greatest compliment on Austin Butler's Elvis performance, "it's your version of that which makes it so good. It's like the icon is playing you, instead of you playing the icon."
Fraser*

How lovely that Brendan throughout this interview is just looking at Austin with such support and love and constantly uplifting him 🙂
Yeah, this is a really warm lovefest. I'm surprised that Austin made that comment praising Living because who's actually seen Living? Where is that movie playing? Austin would have had to have gone way out of his way to see that film.
@@okonh0wp
Way out of the way as in a click on Netflix?
@@williamkrause5585 it didn’t enter wide release until this week and it’s not on Netflix as far as I know
@@okonh0wp Yeah I’ve never heard of it or seen it advertised anywhere!
@@okonh0wp They are invited to private digital screenings.
I love that Adam Sandler is wearing a zipped up sweater while everyone else is wearing something formal 😂
He literally is the epitome of "the richest people in Hollywood dress down the most," lol. Have seen him around LA like that. He doesn't need to impress with his clothes when everyone knows who he is.
@@L_O27 I love him
That sweater is probably 1k.
@@sovietninja6865 Also this. Probably. :)
@@sovietninja6865 it’s O’Neill for sure not 1k. More like 100$
Jonathan Majors is the coolest most fashionable guy I've seen in a while. My guy has brought his own coffee cup which perfectly matches his outfit! Too cool... and he's Kang the Conqueror!
Absolutely! 💪🏿
I was wondering about the mug! such style
he takes that thing everywhere! loved seeing it here😂
it's amazing how the "more established" actors, Adam Sandler and Bill Nighy, let the "newer" actors shine in this interview. Much respect to them.
any interaction with Adam and Brendan is just heartwarming to see
You should watch their one on one recent internet interview! Love em both, such great guys!!!
They are friends since the 90s.
"The icon's playing YOU instead of you playing the icon." Brenden gets what makes Austin's performance so special. He didn't imitate Elvis, he made space for Elvis's spirit to live in him.
Riiiiiiiiiiiightttttttt
Actors say the most cliche things.
🙄
@@kevinandrewsphoto people say cliche things. But when actors do it, everyone creams their panties over it.
@@kevinandrewsphoto I feel like acting is an inherently corny idea when you look at it on the surface, I mean really they're just pretending to be someone they're not, but when you think about the actual performance they're doing it makes a lot more sense
I don't know if you guys saw "Devotion", but if you haven't you should...yes, because Jonathan Majors is in it! Don't sleep on this guy's range and talent.
I love how Bill is very much in the 'well I turn up, act, get paid' school of approach.
it's the reserved approach at his age, no need to 'suffer' for your art when you've more pressing concerns, like will his next fart follow through causing him to shart himself. old age never comes alone
Most British actors are like that
@@rishabhaniket1952 At least the British actors his age are. Its because they grew up learning classical acting like you'd see in a film adaption of shakespeare in the 60s and worked to adapt to modern more natural style acting.
@@boppob1343 That’s more accurate. They had much more life experiences and grind than today’s actors. The drink, grind and act generation of O’Toole, Harris, Finch, Hurt et al.
The interesting part about Nighy, if you've watched other interviews with him, is that he has this " I'm not a good actor " mindset about himself. Dude brings incredible characters to life with his acting ability but for some reason doesn't think much of himself. It could be that he just doesn't like talking about himself in general or putting himself in the spotlight, but if I think about Nighy, I would never ever describe his portrayals as " I turn up, act, get paid ", because he's incredible in every role I've seen him do.
Paul Dano is on a different level man. He is so brilliant in so many varied roles, he's become one of my favorite actors to watch. If I see that Paul Dano is in something it makes me want to see it no matter the genre or story. I've never seen him have a bad/average performance, he kills it every time.
Agree, and he's a lovely human being.
And they put him down as “and more” on the video title. Put some respect on his name!
hes pretty good. i would be embarrassed by his performance of the ridler terrible role.
@@jordanrodriguez6412 whatever you say he was great as Riddler
no lies detected
Brendan is the level of listening and compassion we need in this world. He's on a different level of human and value.
Jonathan and Austin are 2 of the best young talents alive, Brendan’s comeback is just great. The way Hollywood treated him was disgusting and I’m glad he’s proved himself. Paul Dano has always been one of my faves and he treats each role how much respect and admiration. Adam becoming such a respect actor is amazing to see. Definitely should be celebrated more. And Bill Night, the legend of the group who’s so down to earth. One of the best Roundtables I’ve ever see!!
*Bill Nighy. And I agree, truly a great roundtable.
Austin has had 1 good role
@@SonicGamingYt okay and your point is?
@@antoniobrooks1113hat's not enough to be standing with the rest of them dibshit
@@antoniobrooks1113
FIGHT!
After-all, it is the UA-cam Comment section.
It's the way Jonathan Majors carries himself and speaks! Love him!
Look at Austin with all those established actors!🥺 Go baby go!
sandler? a glorified fart gag on legs? elvis was best film i've seen in a long time though could have done with an actor playing the colonel rather than a face like hanks though i know he's a lover of 60's music, one of my favourite films is 'that thing you do' which actually had paul dano in it as one of the band, great film with catchy original songs.
@@mshaw5123 Adam Sandler is still senior to Austin and has had a good career. Im not a big of him either but I rather not trash someone for no reason. It's still such a great honor for Austin to be included.... He's a growing artist and I'm sure he's greatful as well
@@mshaw5123 Yeah, Sandler.
@@mshaw5123 Are you saying Adam Sandler isn't an established actor?
@@mshaw5123 I guess you've never watched Reign Over Me, Punch Drunk Love, and The Meyerowitz Stories. Or his more recent movies Hustle and Uncut Gems. His performance in Uncut Gems was so amazing. Even my Dad who never enjoyed his movies said that he was blown away by that movie.
My eyes just stay on Jonathan Majors the entire interview ❤
First of all, Dano’s transformation from Girl Next Door to Batman’s Riddler & everything in between… to the ones familiar with that movie makes watching Paul Dano films even better. He didn’t let that role stifle his progress.
No way! Completely seperated him in GND from anything else he’s done. He’s great
Brendan is such a wonderful person and the way he compliments and appreciated Austin while the two of them are being pit against each other in pop culture for the oscar. Wow. What a lovely guy. ❤
Are they pitted against each other or they're simply competing for the same Oscar. There's a difference.
While I would love for Austin to win the Oscar (if nominated) because he gave his heart and soul to this role, I think it may go to Brendan.
dwafwf
Alright chill out
Austin, oscar 😂😂😂😂
Majors said “ima match my cup today” 😂 Excited to see each of the films they’re promoting!
Im convinced Adam Sandler would dressed how he is for any occasion.. Oscar’s.. daughters wedding.. literally everything 😂 GREAT table I enjoyed this one!
I love how Brendan was so enthralled by each person's account of their experiences. This was lovely to watch. I think I'll watch each film now.
Did you get around to it? If I had to Rank I'd go
1. The Whale
2. Elvis
3. The Fabelmans
4. Devotion
5. Hustle
6. Living
Adam Sandler going “HMMM” after hearing the speaker say Fraser wrong 😂😂😂
Brendan Fraser has to be the most genuinely endearing man in Hollywood. The way he listens to everyone and responds, you can tell he really cares.
Also, when the interviewer introduces him. Adam Sandler reacts. Pretty sure he’s reacting to the fact that he mispronounced Fraser. Sandler is his boy.
Everyone congratulating each other on their performances was so great to see
It’s kinda phony because OF COURSE they are gonna say those things to each other. They are trained and coached that way. Let’s not be naive.
Austin needs to do those Calm sleep stories. His voice is the nicest voice I have heard in a long time. Its hypnotic and soothing. And he deserves all the accolades for Elvis. wonderful interview.
You’re right!!! Very soothing.
I've been saying for years Paul Dano is one of the best character actors of today.. He's an incredible actor and I'm not trying to take away from the others. He's just that kind of actor that no matter what he's doing, he pulls you in to his world, like Denzel does.
He’s played so many great roles, I’m glad he’s getting more love in his later roles but he’s one of a kind
Well said. I completely agree!
I completely agree but I gotta throw in majors with that as well man is incredibly different
Agree his performance in There will be Blood was just wow phenomenal.
He was great in Little Miss Sunshine!
Jonathan Majors is going to be a force to be reckoned with, he's a fantastic actor. I love seeing him sitting at the table with big hitters like Brendan, Adam, and Bill. Not to detract from Paul Dano and Austin, but Brendan, Adam, and Bill were some of my favorite actors growing up, and they've all had amazing careers.
Majors has such power, and poise yet conveys a deep sympathy in his face. He reminds me of Sidney Poitier.
@@Zach-gq9cw I agree 100%
Ooof
@@davidabanto8121 just about to say the same thing. 😳🙁
Yikes
Brendan’s comment was so pure when talking to Johnathan about the character of Jesse … “you guys were great together “
my favorite part
Mad props to the interviewer. Handled the table with a mastery of class!
It's clear that he's nervous, but he got better throughout the interview and balanced who got to talk really well.
I love the fact that Austin is so animated when he speaks. He uses a lot of hand gestures and his body moves so gracefully.
Um okay
Bro the way y’all look at celebrities is so weird
@@ixg1297yeah the obsession is bonkers. They think like regular mannerisms and normal everyday occurrences are amazing if it comes from a good looking celebrity
Calm down Cynthia
It’s called body language and everyone at the table is using it
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!! Austin was beautiful and both he and Brendan Fraser were the sweetest and kindest with acknowledging everyone else. Very classy!
Halfway through Elvis, I said, "I don't know who this guy is but he's my new favorite actor." I haven't cared about the Oscars in years, but I'll be bummed if Austin doesn't win.
EDIT 1/21: I just saw The Whale in the theater. Great performance by Brendan, but no comparison to Austin’s.
You should check out his earlier work from the past couple of decades. A lot of them are bit parts and cameos, but he has a lot of range that wasn’t really taken advantage of in Elvis, imo. One of my favorite scenes to this day was when he was in a few minutes of Hannah Montana where he played a blind date who was scared out of his mind during a horror movie. He was hilarious! 😂
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I had no idea who Austin was or his previous work. But he knocked me over with his incarnation of the king.
That's a great idea. I'm definitely looking forward to his future roles so I should check out his earlier work.
hope Brendan Fraser wins. He was amazing in The Whale
@@ethann5410 I think the screenplay and makeup carried Brendan in the Whale, though.
Whereas Austin carried the movie Elvis as a whole.
Awesome Roundtable. I love how Austin and Brandan compliment on each other’s performances
fwafw
We both know only one of them is walking home with the little golden man even though both of them deserve it
And is most likely them as the top 2 for the Oscar
@@gabrielcastaneda9700 absolutely both incredible performances
This is the third video I've seen in the last couple of months where they are sitting at a table together and discussing. The one that they did for I believe Vanity Fair, where it is just the two of them, was amazing
Brendan is the sweetest actor and man. I am so glad that he is acting again. Have missed his movies.
As talented all these actors are and as much as I love each one, I am hoping the Oscar goes to Austin Butler. To spend two years perfecting the role of an icon such as Elvis is incredible dedication and it paid off so well in his performance that I forgot I was watching an actor play him. Fingers crossed, if Austin doesn't get it and one of these guys do, then it still was a great win.
Brendan Fraser leans into what each actor is saying with such intent, interest and admiration. Like, he literally leans forward to listen because he’s so fascinated. You can tell he’s truly grateful to be where he is right now by the way he’s so present in appreciating every moment. He also just radiates kindness and care towards others. The Whale was phenomenal and Fraser deserves all the accolades he receives for the role. Looking forward to seeing him continue to crush it from here!
I love hearing Paul Dano talk about the Fabelmans, so much love and respect for the role and the man it represents.
it was such a great movie! i was able to see it in a theater where i was the only person watching- it was magical!
Butler shouting out There Will Be Blood and DDL ending the segment was awesome. Great host as well.
Its easy to see that Austin Butler has a really big love for films. What a good performance as Elvis too!
Brendan. Huge fan here . And u know what u deserve more recognition. Great actor u are . Helo fellas.
My God... Austin keeps moving forward, it's a never ending successful journey for him, I grew up watching him in kid's shows and now he is getting all he deserves, he is just so inspiring
Same here! Proud of how far he’s come. He has a great career ahead of him! I just wish he’d talk with his real voice, though, instead of intentionally deepening it.
Austin deserves the media attention he's getting now. I remember him on disney/nick spots and on the bling ring/carrie daries surprisingly. He got a standout look. In shock to see how much success he's getting now. Sometimes you never know until you work hard & deserve everything you got.
@@claudettewright365 he’s not intentionally deepening it though. Voice training changes your voice to the point of no return. It’d take him just as long to unlearn as it did to learn it. He’s probably not going to go through all the effort to unlearn it because it’d take a while and he’s still doing projects and stuff. Even if he does unlearn it, he’s still going to fall back into it every now and then because he’s been doing it so long for the movie so it’s practically ingrained in him now.
@@claudettewright365 He's not intentionally deepening his voice. I'm so tired of these tiktok kids with no braincells whatsoever, acting like if they're experts in theatre and method acting. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk.
@@zussy101 you could say that but in the other round table he was in, the longer he was talking, the more the accent disappeared until he would talk again later and then all of a sudden it’s heavier
I love Bill Nighy. I love the he absorbs story telling.
Brendan Fraser is just such a genuinely good guy, you can’t help but cheer for him especially in his return to the big screen.
Also Jonathan Majors has been my favorite actor ever since his role in The Last Black Man in San Francisco. That was such a strong performance for his character in that. Happy to see him and all the success he’s been having since
All of these Actors deserve an Oscar this year. I pray that these Actors get an Oscar.
All of the actors were so awesome. The interviewer/commentator was also so awesome. Real questions, real answers, real pieces of how the art gets created and how their own lives became a crucial building block to their works. Beautiful, just beautiful. Not a shred of brown nosing happening,
Austin butler’s performance was so good that when I see the real Elvis I’m surprised he doesn’t look more like Austin !
Paul Dano treats his roles with such respect, I love it!
Brendan's comment on Austin got me.
I hope to see Brendan Fraser in so many more roles. Trully been missed the last couple of years.
‘Hustle’ was actually a FANTASTIC movie!
Absolutely.
A basketball love letter.
Jonathan Majors, Paul Dano, Brendan Fraser live those guys. Also very happy for Austin Butler star rising always liked him Glad he’s getting his breakthroughs. Adam and Bill are just legends. Great table and conversation ❤
Beautiful, beautiful conversation. And the mutual respect around the table was heartwarming.
I hate the Oscars
Because the voting is so close
For me you are all winners! You all deserve the statue! Thank you for your profound performances!!!
No, you’re the real winner here!!!
Love all of these actors. Sandler and Fraser being recognized for being as dynamite as they both are is awesome. Austin and Paul are tbh the future of Hollywood, Jonathan Majors basically already IS elevating everything he touches, and Bill Nighy literally never misses. You put any of these people in a interesting, serious movie (yes, including Sandler) and I'm there the first night
I clicked for austin. I was blown away by the Brendan F Clip.....will set aside time to watch and cry at that film. The rest look really good too!! What a delightful surprise.
I see Johnathan Majors, I CLICK. It’s that simple 😂
He is booked and busy and just a whole vibe. I am loving watching him win right now!!!
Oh yeah😹
You're smart
What a wonderful interview. So respectful of each other, and so engaged in conversation. Can this be hours long? Just lovely!
I love Paul Dano with my whole heart 🫶🏼
Me too ❤
He’s been too underrated for so long! Glad he’s finally starting to get the recognition he deserves!
Who dont love him?
Honestly this interview made me want to watch his movie!!
Austin Butler will be a huge star after Elvis
Will be?
He is!!
He is a big star, he is so amazingly talented.
@@DYA9091 i know but i mean that he will get better projects than dune, masters of the air or the upcoming bikeriders, he will have more chances to win the oscar or something important
Austin already is, having filmed three more movies after Elvis 😉💖
They said the same thing after Adrien Brody won the best actor Oscar for the Pianist and he never did anything Oscar worthy again. I was so disappointed because I was looking forward to seeing so much more from him. I pray to God Austin makes better choices.
Bill Nighy's middle finger pointing is on another level 🫣
This was so so so good, on a side note, I hope Austin wins the Oscar
The thermometer will be the golden globe.
Colin Farrell will
@@priscilajunger6276waaaaa he did not win. Why am I watching this, by the way?
The lovely Austin Butler with all these wonderful actors.
This is an interesting and talented line up. Having said that, I'm here for Bill Nighy and Jonathan Majors!
Here for Austin butler
I am totally here for AB. lol. He’s kind, or so it seems, and STUNNING looking.
Great lineup! I hadn't heard of a few of these films, so it gives me something to look forward to. Have to say the devotion that Austin Butler showed in playing Elvis was incomparable. Definitely a labor of love. What he said in the beginning about coming out of a movie and the world feeling more vibrant certainly applied to "Elvis". I saw it 6 times in the theatre last summer, for that very reason. If I had a crappy day, I just headed to the theatre to see it and I always came out feeling better.
What a terrific roundtable! It is so special to hear the depth that actors seek to play their characters. I fear we take it for granted even when we greatly enjoy their performances. Thank you for such an insightful conversation among these extremely talented actors.
I love how they always have a really different group of actors on this segment. you get actors from not only different countries but also different age groups, backgrounds and different acting groups one can categorize them based on what we have seen from them. One of my new favorites is Jonathan Majors-AMAZING actor. Paul Dano doing all of these serious and truly amazing roles (He will alwasy be 'Clits' from The Girl Next Door to me)then you have the awesome and brilliant Bill Nighy and our awesome 90's cutie Brendan Frasier whom a lot of us grew up with watching ... I truly love and enjoy this segment.
Austin Butler was amazing in Elvis. What a great group right there.
Fabulous round table interviews with wonderful talented actors. I watched the Whale at the BFI London Film festival (2022) where Brendon appeared live and got a standing ovation from the audience for his mesmerising performance. However, Austin Butler was absolutely electric in Elvis. A handsome rising actor, a philosopher and hopefully a well deserved Oscar winner. Haven't seen the other films yet! 😊
Austin really did do an excellent job as Elvis. He really could only fail yet he killed it.
Bill Nighy remains one of my favorite actors. Girl in a Cafe captured my heart….and sent me on a quest for all things BN. ❤
Butler’s interpretation of Unchained Melody toward his mother reminds me of the incredibly heartfelt rendition of Black Sabbath’s “Changes” performed by Charles Bradley, which he also connect to his mother rather than romance. Beautiful stuff.
THANK YOU for posting this in 4K! Great to see such quality!
austin 🥰🥰
Same!!!
Yeah! Beautiful actor!
Jonathan Majors in Lovecraft Country is amazing. The Harder They Fall is a favorite cowboy now too.
Bill complimenting Adam was amazing. What a year its been for these guys, love them all
Love seeing all mixes of types, ages and genres and even generations of actors coming together on these round table interviews
I'd love to see the Unedited version of this conversation! It's a Masterclass in Bringing Characters to Life.
Great actors having a great conversation about they work, with so much respect for each other.
They got just the best this year. I love 'em all, all around great guys. Never thought I will see them all in one place.
I need an interview with Brendan and Austin. Just them.
Thank you for making me really WANT to see the movies I haven't yet... I am a big FAN of most of the work of most of the roundtable members - this clinched it for me - as well as making me a fan of the Actors as people/professionals themselves.
What a roundtable!!! One of my favorites, such strong and amazing actors right there
Seeing Brendan there, I'm thinking that as a film fan... I love the moment when an actor that I loved much in the past has come to the career moment to play a contra role or a more quality role than he used to. I'm really happy about him.
Could say the same for Sandler, but he played also on uncuted gems.
Great roundtable interview. Thanks for giving us such great film to watch.
Such a pleasure to hear such conversations between men who could be jealous of each other but there's not a smidgen of that.
I came here for Brendan Fraser.
jonathan majors 👏🏾 love him & the dedication & love he has for his craft ❤️
Jonathan just looks like he's secretly the greatest actor we'll ever see....his look is just somethign I've never seen before....
It’s good to talk things out, it helps you understand everything when the actors are learning, and it helps them
Excellent combination of actors, brilliant round table. Thank you!
Great interchange of encouragement! Can’t wait to watch the success of everyone’s careers ♥️
Great piece and roundtable, thank you to all these great leading men. And thank you Michael Ordoña and LA Times. Cheers!
God this made me cry. So proud of Austin and Baz xx love you guys xx
Austin was the only one who made me cry only because I already knew about his touchstones and the amount of devotion he put into the role. The others I don't know anything about, but I had to laugh a little hearing Paul talk about the weight he felt on his shoulders for two months when Austin bore a heavier load for almost 3 years.
@@kindking8009 same - I think the feat Austin accomplished is actually underrated, even with all the attention he's getting. Also, Austin carried the movie he was in - the screenplay was nothing special, it was the acting.
@@johnjungkook2721 I wouldn't say the screenplay was nothing. It hit on some aspects about Elvis's life that none of the others have, but Baz's movies have always been more about presentation which I think was apropos for the subject of Elvis. But yes, Austin carried it. Anyone else in that role and I think the movie might've been a bit of a flop.
Fantastic interview! Such an incredible panel! Nice work everyone! 🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏼💜💜
That was really really really good- incredible line up
Time flew with this one. I loved the video
I am so thrilled to see Brendan on the big screen.
ngl I LOLd when the host called him Brendan "Frasier" and Adam went "hmmmmm" cause I remember them getting into it during the actors on actors video
Good lord, I wish interviewers would get it right! He is usually quite gracious about it, but I did see him look at Adam this time.
Paul Dano is an excellent actor..I watched The Fabelmans because I wanted something to watch that I normally wouldn't...and it was a great film.
Is that Jonathan’s cup from that one “cant live with out video”?? Haha love it!!
