He did Bob justice. Beautifully executed 👏🏾
I saw a clip of the movie and he didnt get the accent correctly. He sounded like a tourist at Sandals 😂
@@ackeemclarkeSharon Marley said that the accent was 99.5% on point with how her dad spoke.
@@ackeemclarkeYou are so wrong!
@@ackeemclarke His voice is naturally lower than Bob's as well. Bob had a slightly higher and scratchier voice. But Kingsley's efforts are still commendable, I think.
I love his accent. That London accent is good ash
Kingsley seems to have a Denzel-level understanding of how serious to take his craft, understanding thats the difference. 👏🏾👏🏾
accurate !
TRUE!
I thought so too!!
He is a well trained English Actor. The Actors training in England is the best. Shakespeare
Denzel takes the craft very seriously, but when he plays other real-life people he doesn't get the mannerisms down very well. So many people praise his portrayal of Malcolm X but he didn't really sound like him.
Ben-Adir is such a deep man. He doesn't fluff around, everything he says, you can see he wants it all to be meaningful. Now I wanna watch all his work.
Same here
Same.
Jess brought an emotional intelligence to this interview and necessary grounding and reverence this movie deserves.
She's taking over the BC and making those other 2 fools look "foolish"? 😬
She is a positive credit to the program
I COULDNT AGREE WITH YOU MORE
Emotional intelligence from a transphobe lol
This comment 🎉👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
As a Jamaican, i applaud this man and his execution of the role of Bob Marley... the man delivered!!
Jess was so knowledgeable this interview you go girl🎉
Those fake nails are ridiculous, come on! Why do black women always doing too much? She's Wolverine?
Im so happy for her, i remember when she first came on instagram and to watch how she's blown up is crazy!!! And she fits in perfect with them
YES!!!
cringe
She’s very bright
This man talked about the movie and playing Bob Marley in a way that almost got me emotional.
Me too 😅I got teary eyed for a moment, cause it put me in a moment when I went to the museum n I started to feel like I knew Bob, I really felt bad that he died😢
Church
Kingsley Ben-Adir carried this interview single handedly! What an amazing guest who did the role of both interviewer and interviewee. I love how Adir shared most of his experiences during production and giving all the powerful messages without being asked. He gave us what we wanted to know about his experience translating Bob Marley in a way the interviewers failed to do. What an amazing artist!
Definitely.
Now after seeing the movie I can comment. The movie was incredible. Kingsley did a damn good job embodying Bob Marley. It was emotional. It was loving. It was sad. It was beautiful. I loved it. I will go see it again.
I absolutely agree. 💯
Thank you for sharing your feedback …I was weary of going to see it , bcuz I was afraid it wouldn’t do Bob justice. Will go and check it out.
Funny, I thought the movie was just ok but it still made me an admirer of Bob Marley. I only checked it out to take my wife out. It made me want to know more about the man.
@@ndominique32I watched the movie. He really did a good job portraying Bob.
This was an awesome movie!!
The British cockney and Jamaican patois is COMPLETELY different. 2 totally different dialects- the words , cadence and tonality is different. Kudos to Ben-Adir for his commitment to learning the patois dialect and the nuance of Bob. This interview was intriguing. I admire this young man. His heart was fully in it. Great job.
it is way different. Excellent call out
I think what Kingsley said about the Jamaican Patois influence says it all. British cockney has been heavily influenced by the language of Caribbean immigrants in the UK, so it’s not separate, it’s infused. Patois isn’t cockney but cockney owes a lot to Patois. And of course he’s Black, so I’m sure he sounds a lot like Black Brits do. It’s kinda like how Cardi B has a New York accent but it’s heavily influenced by Puerto Rican/Dominican Spanish, so her New York accent is different from a white person’s New York accent.
Agreed!
Still Jamaica has a big influence regardless if it's different no other country has such placement
Different dialects, not totally different language.
I just saw the movie, and it is breathtaking watching Kingsley bring Bob to life. I think he's really humble. Think about it, you can't get the approval of Bob's family and childhood friends if you're not inhabiting the true essence of Bob. They are the ones who knew him best. He is a good actor. Well done 👏🏽
Why is people complaining about him being British? If the family approved this who are we to judge?
And evidently had a lot of ties to London too.
You probably have to endure what we do to understand why islanders especially Jamaicans feel a type of way. I’m still gonna see it. But I understand both sides. Art is art but the movie means a lot more to many ppl.
They forgot Bob was 1/2 black
@@IlluminatedMelbut britian pushed and developed his music, Jamaica didn't do that.
@@ariamason9324there would have been nothing for them to push or promote if not for JA. He wouldn’t have even been born if his father wasn’t sent to JA under British order. Pros and cons to the British involvement. And the actors are great I’m not coming for them. Or anyone for that matter. The fact is: how much does any country get to keep taking from one’s own country until you decide “I/we have some money and influence so we can do things differently”??? I get the whole mainstream play but ngl I’m still super salty about movies like Cool Runnings. This issue goes way deeper than this young man who took the role seriously and what’s really happening in what they call “third world countries”
I found him to be very charismatic.This is the first time I have seen the Breakfast Club team keenly listening to what the interviewer is saying. It is as if they are listening to a riveting story. They all are intrigued by the lengendary Bob Marley. It mek me feel proud to be a Jamaican. One love
Or maybe they hardly understand his speech so they had to listen
@@paradoxr.n.o8688 Nah .... they understood alright ....it's just that Kingsley speaks with such profound depth and honesty, that you realise you are wiser to listen and learn
@@goonaa6924 true
@paradoxr.n.o8688 are you saying Americans do not understand English that came from England ?
@@deangrey1165 never said tha
One of their best interviews. Kingsley is such an articulate and intelligent actor who answered all the questions with elegance and poise.
This interview was honestly one of the best Breakfast Club interviews. I really got to learn about Kingsley and his process. I imagine playing a larger than life iconic figure with one of the hardest accents to mimic was a task. I'm happy to report that I watched the film and Kingsley bodied the role. As a born Jamaican, I was relieved and proud. I believe Bob would have been proud too. His performance will earn him a number of award nominations next season. Capturing Bob was a tall order and he delivered.
He did. A professional through and through. Big up Kingsley!
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie
Thank you, the man nailed the role and deserved to play this character. He really captured the essence of Bob and I'm happy he got this opportunity.
Watching Kingsley made me go to watch the movie I attended the uk concerts he was awesome and so was Leshana
As a born jamaican iam 💯 supporting this movie 🎬 ❤🇯🇲
His (Kingsley Ben-Adir) humbleness is absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for playing Bob, Kingsley! You did a great job!
I’m glad the actor took his role and preparation so seriously. I think he did a great job.
The slap that Rita gave you meant "Good work well-done." She was grateful for you and your work portraying Bob. Thank you...One Love
😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂 it made me laugh so hard when Rita slapped bob 🤣😂😂 like I was literally out of my appetite!😅for real
I always loved the fact that Bob Marley made no effort to disguise his Jamaican accent. I I loved his defiance. Been here all my life pretty much and I’ve made every effort not to lose my accent. Proud of my Jamaican heritage🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Fi real. Me proud a mine too. Nuff respect.
I absolutely love your Jamaican culture. Finally this year we going to Sum fest I'm so excited to take my son for his 20th bday ❤🇯🇲
@@jmilli0479 Nice! Cool runnings.
I agree but to an American ear it’s doesn’t sound tooooo far off. As if like an American were to talk in the accent. Definitely more convincing coming from him
But why you nuh drop some a di patwah inna yuh sentence my yuut. Looks like yuh start loose it all thesame enuh lol
Man played that role so well. 👏 👏
I like how Kingsley held his own with Charlemagne at the end when he uses the word overseer to Charlemagne's chagrin. Charlemagne is always vexed and annoyed by something. Is this guy ever genuinely happy for someone ? Kingsley did a fantastic job as Bob Marley. The story was told with the family's help so all integrity was in place. I truly enjoyed this movie and feel everyone should see it.
Dude was very honest to the craft he learned a lot i see
As a Jamaican born and raised, this actor taped into the true essence of who Robert Nester Marley was. Great choice!!!!
Totally agree 💯
Bob was larger than Jamaica. Global icon whose best work was produced in the U.K. there's too much focus on country and accents whereas majority of the Marley family live in Florida for ages.
Kingsley owned the room the breakfast club this morning...never judge a book by its cover, I couldn't imagine him playing Bob, he did he didit. Buying my tickets after watching this 1❤
You'll love it. Bring a Jamaican friend for a great experience
The move was absolutely incredible! He truly embodied Bob
I HEAR EXACTLY WHAT KINGSLEY IS SAYING. MANY MORE MOVIES CAN BE MADE ABOUT BOB MARLEY BUT ONLY ONE PERSON COULD PLAY HIM WE 💕 KINGSLEY. BOB WAS A HANDSOME MAN AND KINGSLEY PLAYING BOB YOU ARE JUST AS HANDSOME AND LOOKED GOOD ON SCREEN. I WISHED THE MOVIE WAS LONGER
If the family approved him then I feel the world should too💯💯
Just saw the movie. Could not have been better. I enjoyed it thoroughly. So delicious! We all miss Bob so much still, and he would be proud of Kingsley. Good job.
This roll as the great Bob Marley will make Kingsley Ben-Adir an absolute superstar
The slap at the back of the head is meaningful, she accepted you as family.. he still subconsciously have some aspects of the Jamaican accent
It usually take time for an actor to go to their normal playing a role
Yh, his accent is also very black London.
Jess handled her business in this. 🇯🇲
In a recent interview, Ziggy talked about why Kingsley got the role. He said that he was the one that mostly exhibited the essence of his dad. I believe it! He did a great job in the movie.
they picked the right guy for this film! can’t wait to see it
nope
@@nickalaslindsay7800 ok nickalas.
he was the absolute most person guy. Just saw it.
He did a fabulous job!
they did.argue with your reflection@@nickalaslindsay7800
I worked as the Post Production Assistant on the additional photography in London with the Editorial Team. Met Kingsley once and he was such a nice guy to me. The movies amazing, please go and watch it. Bob was one of one as I said one time. This film is a great legacy to what his message was to the world. :)
Nah
Congrats. So glad to hear
He seems like a really nice guy, like a clean-hearted person as we say in Jamaica very patient for tolerating Charlamagne.
@@t1nma5k22troll
It is amazing. He is such a good actor, and his humility is what makes him so good. Well done to the production team too 👏🏽
This guy is all about the WORK. I true journeyman actor. LOVE HIM. And call out these DRAMA SCHOOLS.
S/O Jess she did her thing in this one
This is the first big movie on this legend and on a Caribbean legend ... I think we should just not criticize but enjoy these brilliant people in the film and learn about this wonderful man and his wife and his country
I'M GLAD YOU DID IT KINGSLEY YOU DID IT MAN. I DON'T THINK NO OTHER PERSON COULD HAVE DONE IT LIKE YOU. I BELIEVED IN YOU. ZIGGY KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING FROM THE MOMENT HE SAW KINGSLEY. THE FAMILY FELT THE SAME THING. LASHANA WAS RITA. KINGSLEY AND LASHANA HAD A CHEMISTRY. I FELL I'M 💕 WITH BOB ALL OVER AGAIN THROUGH KINGSLEY.
This is a great interview, Kingsley explained how much work he had to put in. For those people that does not understand the kind of work real professional actors take there job. Excellent Kingsley, Big Up to you and the Marley family.
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Kingsley is a phenomenal guest! I have just booked my ticket 🙌🏿
This guy was AMAZING in Secret Invasion! I can't wait to see this Marley bio pic! ❤️🙏🏾
Same!
He’s a great actor. He portrayed Malcolm in One Night in Miami as well.
Ain't nobody watch that trash and the Samuel L Jackson and Denzel comparisons need to be laid to rest after that abomination
He was one of the few bright spots in that show. But with that said, i'm going to pretend Secret Invasion never happened.
Dang!! Forgot he was Gravik!! Cheer mate!!!
I loved that he went deeply into the method behind his acting; he’s done such a fabulous job. His depiction of Malcolm X was 🙌🏿
This man is a great actor and a true artist. I feel like he’s going to have an amazing career, which he already does.
Stand tall inna yu craft Kingsley💯 Di man family... The closest people to him in LIFE gave you the stamp of approval. Who TF is anybody else?! Cyah wait to watch it tomorrow❤ #OneLove🇯🇲
Same suh . It is their story and how they want to tell.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Well said
They sellout, Bob was anti establishment and they let holllywood narrow down his message to One Love and left out how did he become Rasta and where, who are the people who build Bob Musically .... Most People dont know that Jimmy Cliff is who first brought Bob to a Recording Studio to Record his first Song
@@tonybarrett4741A movie can only be so long. And there is a scene when they go to Coxsone's studio.
Kingsley nailed it. Periodt!
Proud of Kinsley being honest he had a lot learn.
Charla can be the best interviewer and worst when he doesn’t care for the guest..
no he's just an ignorant American
He is so off standing and rude when he wants to be.
Agreed
Facts!!
I get what you mean, but I think in this situation and truly didn’t either understand what he was saying because of his dialect and accent or he didn’t understand what he meant by things. For example the dreadlock conversation, until Jess explained it. But I agree with you.
I’m a Jamaican in my 40’s and grew up on the island till the age of 16, I only recently learned that Bob was biracial.
Oh my lol do you like bios? That's interesting.
Wow! Interesting..but it doesn't really surprise me because the white side of him has always been surpressed especially because he's Rasta
Beautiful interview. His level of artistic integrity is admirable. I enjoyed the film and was happy I had a chance to meet Kingsley days before the film’s release. Much respect!
This is one of the best interviews on Breakfast Club....I can imagine how many people almost cried at the end part of the interview...
I just saw the film, this dude was amazing!! I remember him in the Barbie film, the Marvel series with Sam Jackson, and he played Malcolm X in that Regina King film. He's a beast at acting.
Now this guy is a real Actor. Salute 💯
Best interview to date … Kingsley took over this interview , AMAZING JOB !
I’m not a fan of the comments on his head shape. He took it in good fun but I can tell he was trying to have a real conversation not make light jokes.
Love this interview. Kingsley seems like such a genuine person and very committed to his craft. Kudos to him.
I just watched the movie last night. I really would like to see this movie again. This interview kept me from doing my laundry. I couldn't stop watching the interview.
Jess has been a breath of fresh air. I love seeing her shine in a more serious way.
Can’t wait to see the Bob Marley film
Its great!
Kingsley Ben-Adir was outstanding as Bob Marley and most definitely captured the essence of Bob’s person during that pivotal moment in Bob’s life. The family chose him, I believe, because he was able to articulate Bob’s character in the most authentic manner. I learned so much about Bob’s humanitarianism and deeply rooted spirituality (Nester was surely a Messenger) as a result of this film. Thank you Ziggy, Rita, Marley family, Ben, La Shauna and the production team of One Love! This could easily have been a 3 hour movie without anyone moving from their seat! ❤❤🤲🏽🙏🏽
Im Jamaican wow i'm truly impressed and can't wait to watch it with my family
I’m now a HUGE Kingsley fan he’s next level on understanding his craft what a legend & he killed that performance❤💛💚
Already got my ticket and I’m already in tears because Bob Marley is an icon that was placed here to deliver a God given message to the people thank you to Kingsley & the Marley family and everyone that was apart of this project “RESPECT”🙌🏽
Man. Love guests like this brother. I appreciated this interview. I don’t feel it has anything to do with their origins- he just seems in tune. With himself, with his purpose, and it reflects through his aura. I think it’s something that you consciously have to work at. Chadwick🕊️, Kingsley, Kaluuya, Lakeith.. the changing of the guard in Black Hollywood has been beautiful to witness. Cannot wait to see this film!
Dope interview, Jess is also a dope addition to the Breakfast Club
British actors aren’t stealing roles, they are truly great actors. Look how many people are surprised when they find out an actor is British and not African-American like Idris Elba after The Wire. The truth is Africana-Americans need to expand their acting abilities in order to compete in the ever-evolving entertainment industry. That’s a good thing. Growth.❤
ignorant. there are both well trained and wonderful actors, both british and black american alike.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I work at a drama school in London and we get quite a few American (black and white) actors come over to study. A lot of them have acting experience before, but want to get the classical training that is offered at British drama schools and really work on their craft as actors
This is it.
Angels Bassett is a Yale University trained and degreed actress, Denzel is classically trained and educated as is also Laurence Fishburne and many others have had classical training. Many have gone to Juliard which is very prestigious. That's a very biased comment. Please research more before you critique.
Great interview as a Jamaican this changed my perception of this guy. He really put his all into this.
Great mindset on the craft of acting was shared by this brother. I can feel his authenticity. Excellent interview on his part.
He embodied Bob in this role. Phenomenal job👏🏿
Absolutely LOVED the questions Jess asked!!! Kingsley is a phenomenal actor. CTG do better.
Phenomenal interview. I’ve been looking forward to seeing this film since last year.
I went to see the movie today. WOW!!! Thats all I gotta say, Big up Kingsley ❤❤❤
Awesome depiction of Bob, I lived in Jamaica at this time 1978 to the 80s . I lived in the heart of the violence. I cried in the movie last night. I was asking myself, why are you crying?. So touching.. you are a great actor, Ben.
everyone who has a problem with the film. who’s playing bob, the story, whatever they feel was left out. skip to this part and just listen. 26:05
You can see how passionate Kingsley is
Such a good part of the interview
@6:50 Jess translating Jamaican while CTG's mouth remains agape is killing me right now.
I said the same! She way ahead of them😅
His understanding is normal to most jamaicans.....he could be around Jamaicans for decades, even date and yet far, far away at the same time.....
I am Jamaican and when he said this, I was trying to figure out what he was trying to say. Is he trying to say "In a form a way"?
@@ackeemclarkewell it was 80s patois!!!!!! Bob had his own style of speaking too!
I have so much respect for Ben’s work ethic. The movie debuted @ # 1 🎉
Saw the movie last night, here in the middle East and it was lit! Kingsley, you did exceptionally well playing Bob Marley. I will be going back to see it soon.
Thank you Kingsley for your commitment to your craft, your artistry and dedication to keeping Acting and movies alive!!!
Brad Pitt deserves credit for being an executive producer . Not getting talked about enough
You can cry allllllll U want he was the perfect person to play him.
Bob Marley is the greatest musician that ever lived he was bigger than music he was a true prophet.
Kudos to this man. You can tell that he really did the work. Cant wait to see the movie.
The movie was so emotional and so beautifully done! I watched tonight with my teenage son and 22 year old son. They never took their eyes off the screen! At the end, they wept with me. Bob Marley was as close to perfect as they got when it comes to love and peace on earth. Kingsley was amazing!
He still has the spirit of Bob on him... The anger is real
For how long Charlamagne been living and working in the NY metro area, you would think his knowledge of Caribbean culture would've grown by now
he doesn't like Jamaicans. I don't maybe someone messed up his Oxtails or something
@@apd7698Omg 😂😂!!
Yes I say the same thing. I used to say that when Angela Yee was there. She was the one who book most Caribbean Guest. Charlemagne and Envy need to do their homework when it come to Caribbean guest.
He’s not a very aware or astute person.
Some African Americans (maybe CTG is included in the lot) do not understand the Caribbean black culture and do not want to learn about it. The same thing goes for some Caribbean black people; they do not want to learn the black American culture for multi-factoctorial reasons.
I saw the movie two days ago with my family. Being a white man with a black wife and a mixed son made the movie that much more special. We all got tears in our eyes throughout the movie. I’ve always loved Bobs music but the movie brought so much more meaning to his songs. It just seems this movie was released at a great time. Live and love with each other people. Stop the hate
This accent. I'm in ❤️ . I can listen to you ALL DAY!!!!!!!!
Kingsley is THE GUY!!
He did do a Great job! I believe they should continue with a tv series
I loved this interview, very humble talented guy. Good job Jess in this one!
HE WAS PHENOMENAL
Great interview the brother was serious and understood the importance of honoring such a legend.
Is it just me or did anyone else tear up when Ben-Adir was describing the medical scene when Bod found out that he had cancer?
We salute you Kingsley👏🏾🙏🏾💯, we love you ❤️you delivered such a mesmerizing performance…that brought forth a generational emotional response..I had to watch the film 4 times. 🎉Thank you for igniting restorative conversations on trauma and safety ….which threads many of us in the diaspora together. What a light Bobs life was.. such a beautiful tribute and love story … such a tribute to Bob, Rita, the children, and Jamaica… thank you Kingsley for your preparation and work.. 💚❤️💛🇨🇦🇯🇲
Of course. Kingsley has 🇹🇹 blood in his veins. Yes, you didn't ask, but… CTG is a clown.
You executed that role so well bredren you killed it bro. You did the work. Salute to you Kingsley
You were excellent Ben. I have never seen anything like it. I am Jamaican by heritage and don't like movies about Jamaica because they can't get it right. You were perfect!
I am sooooo proud of Morris getting these accolades. He is a Legend worldwide now, not just London and the UK. He started my locs for me when I finally took the plunge. You can always tell locs that came out of his shop. He and his team have a very unique touch. That man has academies, products, everything. Truly blessed and he started as a barber!
for sure ... big up Morris Roots!!
As a person born and raised in Jamaica, who still remembers the feeling of the atmosphere the day they brought Bob's body home, I have to say, I think he did a great job capturing the essence of such a great man. I kept commenting on the sound of his voice.
I will be seeing it again. I want to relive it again.
WONDERFUL INTERVIEW!!
Best interview I have seen them do. Kingsley and Jess kind of clicked and she asked all the right questions. He is very talented, intelligent and able to communicate his emotions and thoughts well. I wish him all the best in his career.
I went to see the movie after hearing and seeing all the negatives review. As a Jamaican I can say brother you were outstanding. Take a bow you deserve it.
