Sorry to make it weird, but he's got the most smooth and comfortable voice to listen to omg.
Charlotte not weird it's so true💕
Not weird at all. 💯💜
I'm Nigerian and proud. Thank you David.
Naija no dey carry last. I love Nigeria and Nigerians. So proud my daughter has Nigerian blood. 🤗😊🇳🇬❤️
If you look up the definition of charming in the dictionary, they just show a picture of David Oyelowo smiling.
Armie of One - he's a brilliant chap.
+Judi O'Regan Agreed!
Such a pleasant thing to say... This made me smile a lot. Thanks 🙏
I'm proud to be Nigerian blood
GOOD NEWS sad
they fuck themselves too much and using the oxygen reserve
ernest747 You should buy more oxygen reserve.
+ernest747 Triggered obese trailer trash? Nah just kidding I'm sure you're a great guy :p Muh whyte power lmfao :p
My guy😂 "suya joint" shout out from Texas USA. Naija4life
He is an amazing actor and very: very intelligent person like some Nigerians I know!
I'm proud to be African.
Edwin Oppong thats like a white person saying their proud to be european
Don’t lie like that bro
Ameen I’m proud to be African.
@@ameen7538 no it’s not Africa has a completely different history and completely different structure of country so no
I died when he screamed olorun mi o. This was such funny Nigerian comedy. Yesss representation of not just African Americans but also Africans.
Yes, but his heritage is Nigerian. He has Nigerian parents, african americans don't have that connection, unless they are Nigerian American. There is a big difference and I am not even Nigerian.
Well he is British, soo...
Fashionablykat he's a Nigerian Brit
Freedom Cobra drop dead twatwaffle
Freedom Cobra unless you get shot by an ar15 maybe...
👿
Thank you for shouting out Congo 4:30 ✊ David Oyelowo is the King
Technically, he's the prince ;)
My Congolese ass was ecstatic at the level of truth. It cannot be reiterated enough!
Samantha Derrick - as a Brit, I have watched over the last thirty-odd years how some corrupt African governments have actively blocked desperately needed distribution of foreign aid to their own crisis-hit countries, while stockpiling food and various supplies, including medical, for their own ends. These corrupt politicians incite war and turn it to their advantage, while their own people are either massacred or starve to death from government imposed famine. It's horrendous how some African countries are abused by their own leaders. And all the rest of the world can do is watch, utterly helpless.
Right?! I was like "yaaas come thru D.R.C.!!!"
Judi O'Regan and yet the US is the only news outlet on the globe that still doesn't report on it because it doesn't affect them
As a white londoner in his early 20s, with an african girlfriend, and a massive marvel fan, after seeing Black Panther, I didn't feel like an outsider whilst being in a theatre with a lot of black people (naturally seeing as Black Panther is in it's own right, an extremely revolutionary film, for the reasons David so well pointed out in this interview), and having such a close connection with many people from the great continent of Africa, I felt included in the celebration. The fact that people from places that aren't as well off as places in the western world, I for one am very happy to see the rise of equality hit the big screen more than ever before :) Much love to David, much love to the entire Black Panther cast, (who of which, two very significant characters from the story (that I'm aware, there may be more)), come from the UK, for being such great ambassadors for the recognition of other people's cultures and backgrounds. May this continue, and to all those who are complaining that Black Panther has "too much of a black cast"... come back to me when you learn what 2+2 is because that is just as easy a question to answer as the question of "why does Black Panther have a predominantly black cast?"... that last point is a "jus' sayin" followed by a mic drop haha
He called Trump ignorant, truer words have not been said.
more unoriginal words have not been said either...
did you wake up from a 2 year coma?
Ry Sun who hasn’t called him ignorant?
Trump was right, generally speaking
Ry Sun hardly . But cool , you have no respect for the president
he is so well spoken and intelligent. i want him and trevor noah to have a conversation
Kimmy Howell, YES!
They did!
Congratulations. They just did.
Kimmy Howell and now they just did! Check it out!
@@oyinscoco That's how I ended up here! Although thankfully he didn't talk about his personal grooming
He reminds me a lot of Jeffrey in "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air"
Dammy Ishie oh yes 😂
He reminds me of that black boy in 12 years a slave
And now I can't unsee it...
Dammy Ishie oh my goodness YESSS!!
Dammy Ishie it's the accent.
Yes David say it loud " I'm a proud Nigerian!!!"
Lovely, educated, articulate man. Very talented actor with a great spirit.
His voice and accent 😍
Black Panther is a terrific movie for Africa and a strong positive message for black youth that they do have power. 👏👏❤️
Loved it.
I love that he finally gets to do a comedy, because we all know he's a fantastic dramatic one. He's so fun and lively in real life, it's great that he can show his range.
He's so much more charming than most of the characters he plays
David is one of our finest actors from the UK. Loved him in Selmo and A United Kingdom. Love this guy.
That looks amazing David! Can't wait to see that movie! I met you in Abuja once and so I'm so proud of you now!
Lovely, articulate, man
Thanks bruv for breaking it down 'em man. I'm a proud Nigerian fam
i will watch gringo...that sneak peek looked awesome
I saw it last night, it was awesome
Speaking of lovely... I love his freaking face. And voice.
Briana Hicks - very handsome chap.
Just fell in love with David Oyelowo. Not hard to believe that he's a prince.
True to be told. Nigerians are the most educated emigrants in America.
Thats a pretty weird statement since there are tons of people from different Asian countries that would say otherwise. Maby the best educated emigrants from Africa to America but the most educated emigrants in America ? Bold statement.
Thank you so much Obama, for bringing my heritage over to the U.S. I just forgot who I was for 400 years.
Not bold when backed up with evidence. Look it up.
Ethiopia Hagere most educated ummm maybe not.
TetsuoNL Maybe he worded it wrong. Nigerians are the most highly educated immigrants according to the number of higher degrees (masters, doctorates and higher) in comparison to other groups of immigrants.
Love David Oyelowo and his incredibly rich voice!
I feel the need to point out that Stephen Colbert is a staunch Christian. And that is awesome! He basically embodies every trait a Christian should embody. He's compassionate, patient, and genuinely seems to love everyone he comes across. As a not-a-Christian, I still want to live my life in the way Stephen Colbert lives his.
With David Oyelowo, Darwin explained, in detail, how greatness can come from anything. To say Nigeria is a Sh*thole Country, have you seen the United States? Greatness can come from anywhere. We have to always believe that. We shouldn't be shitting on other countries. We should look deep and pull everyone out.
Check out his performances in "Small Island," and "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency." Excellent!
Kevin Graunke. I miss the No. 1 Ladies detectives so much, Jill Scott and Anika Noni Rose we're so talented and entertaining on the show!
What a terrifically well spoken man.
Thanks David, from one brother to another....big ups
I love this man and his beautiful way of speaking.
David is such a delight to watch!
Congo is the real Wakanda.
I can understand why Wakanda needed cloaking and walls to survive. Only one African country (Ethiopia) escaped colonization by the West and up till today it is still suffering from the setback of the wars they had to fight to keep their independence.
John Victor Ethiopia - (Abyssinia) still suffered from colonisation from countries like Italy and this was less than a hundred years ago.
wrong - Ethiopia was never colonized - only occupied during ww2 there is a difference. 100 years ago the italians lost pathetically at Adwa... do some more reading please
Not to mention the religious divide
+NetMage11 Most nations that have been pillaged and conquered many times over aren't doing that great. Look at countries under the former Soviet block. Many are still trying to piece things together.
NetMage11 Look up colonialism, it's not scape-goating when it's the truth and on-going (neo-colonialism). Western countries built up their wealth through the theft of resources, labour, and land from third world countries, that's a fact. This is recent history. And it's on-going through unfair trade agreements, IMF deals, many African countries STILL pay taxes to France until today as punishment for independence which cripples their economies and prevents them from progressing. Colonialism has shaped the global order and continues to affect the relationships between different countries.
2:50 perfect 👌
It was a pleasure listening to David speak, so refined, charming, handsome and funny! 😍
Lol. Did Trump say "Nambia"?! Dear lord.
He did, thought it was a country.
true story lol. when you hear someone tell the story of something stupid that Trump said, most likely he said it. there's no shortage of stupid shit that trump says.
edition.cnn.com/2017/09/21/africa/trump-nambia-un-africa-trnd/index.html
75% of Americans can't also say "Namibia" rightly ;) In fact, they even dont know any Nambias as well
Never heard about this guy before, but he's a pretty nice fella.
Lovely kind, smiling face!
Fantastic laugh, too.
Smarter and more class than the potus. But with Trump that's EASY.
Selma, The Help, The Butler.. all fantastic movies! Must sees
Jan he’s in Selma. He’s very good.
I was blown away by one of his movies, "Nightingale" from 2014. Amazing - he carries the whole thing.
That’s very true for me. The excitement that people have for Wakanda is the same excitement I have everyday as a Nigerian woman. So I’m glad that we all can share that same feeling. I love and adore my heritage and culture and I thank God everyday for it.
Everytime I see David, I drop the Kenyan flag 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪, cause that man is an African export, and we all love him
41 and OBE already? This guy's doing something right.
watched this with a smile on my face you go boy
I saw Gringo trailer and it's really funny. Cant wiat!!
Ok. Love this guy. I have met literally HUNDREDS of Nigerians in my life. The vast majority of whom are AWESOME! BUT, EVERY single male Nigerian claims to be a Prince. They must have thousands of royal families there.
Well maybe many generations ago the King really got busy.
Cro Can we are all princes .....deal with it😂😂😂
It'll be a tribal Prince, not of the whole country like in Europe.
Yes. That is what I meant. But then everybody is a Prince!
Was the same in Russia before the Bolshevik Revolution.
too proud 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
*sigh* a lot of people did not get it lol, it was actually comedy. he spoke Yoruba in the scene and most Nigerians would laugh at that. Anyway, Nigeria!!!
Nice, I received an email by a nigerian prince a couple of days ago.
dimitreze ...yep a Nigerian prince from a person sitting in Florida or China! Simply delete it and keep it moving!
it was the real shit guys
I even send him some money
dimitreze what did you get in return from the prince?
I'll get 10% of the funds he is transferring to America! Oh boy, I just can't wait! :)
dimitreze if you checked the news you will know that one of the Nigerian princes is an old white man living in the US who was arrested recently.
Royalty through and through.
I am so thankful for his wit and positive attitude!
Haven't heard about him before, but he seems lovely!!
TinyTeacup he played MLK Jr. In the movie Selma
Search his movies, they are good!
Former Imperial Agent Kallus.
Love this guy so well-spoken and kind
Ooooh his voice and his accent.....does tings to me. ❤
He is a good actor. I love what he had to say.
Love this guy !
And after I saw " Gringo " .... Damn !
He's a Genius !
He’s so good at saying the right things.
Reminds me of Lavar burton ...the beard and body language...and pure class!
Nigerian are smart!
David Oyelowo is awesomeeeeeeeee!
Great actor!! Good to see him in somewhat of a different role in Gringo.
Javert is not the bad guy. He’s technically the obsessed, good guy.
he's the antagonist in the story. sometimes the antagonist isn't necessarily a villian.
Interesting point
Not all bad guys have bad motivations.
I am so glad that I am not the only fan that immediately thought "Agent Kallus"
Thanks David for truly representing.
Haha,I love this guy, owning the set, speaking yoruba language in a Hollywood movie, what a guy lol
Thank you David for who you are and what you have achieved
I really hope, in the next SW series, we get more Agent Kallus. Love this guy.
My fiancée absolutely adores this man! She loved Selma and constantly talks about Agent Kallus from Star Wars Rebels.
David a wonderful man indeed
Quite a caliber of guests tonight.
He is lovely and his statements on Black Panther are so incisive
Let’s see if we can get Drumpf excited to visit Frederick Douglass in Wakanda.
What an ambassador. So proud. The short clip is so hilarious. I must see it
He speaks the truth!
Talented, charming man. It NEVER looks good to solicit more applause though!
Nice one David.
Good luck on your movies
He declares himself a Prince, however he is also an ambassador!
After watching this interview - I would really want to see Black Panther now.
Was that clip in 60 FPS? It was nice and smooth.
This dude is dope.
I’m going to see this movie. I didn’t know David is a proper proper Nigerian man. That clip made me laugh, very typical and I can relate - nice one.
Olorun Olodumare ooo ( Oh God, the Almighty one) Gbami lowo eeyan buruku bayi oo ( Deliver me from the wicked person NOW)
Yes David. Tell them the truth about Mama Africa!!!
Is he the the voice of Ramses in the “Prince Of Egypt”?
Fabulous actor!!!
This guy was a for-real badass in " Triple Nine" . And, he was great as MLK. -----------------------WolfSky9, 71 y/o
Hey it’s Agent Kallus.
Big ups to David Oyelowo... You are making every black person on this planet proud.
David am proud of you
He is so well spoken
Wow, that clip carried some dang good acting!
Very well spoken bloke, I like him.
(Also, how did they not make any jokes about a Nigerian prince emailing a stranger about needing money wired to him asap)
Proudly Nigeria 🇳🇬
He’s so charming and lovely; love it. I noticed the film was by Amazon studios so I look forward to seeing it when it streams soon.
Damn. The way he speaks 👌🏾
Just saw this Mister D - similar to our Cannes conversation :-)) Hope you all are well.
Nice! Really nice.
Brilliant guy!
Olorun Olodumare! I died
David what??? 😄😄😄 Stephen murdered that name.
Fuck you and fuck "stevie"👽
Star light Kid Naaaah, he didn't do too badly for a non Nigerian😂
Well David murdered Soyinka's name too so who would be blamed. I switched off the moment he said it
Wow, he's so eloquent 👏👏👏
