This man is so underrated it hurts.
He's a very talented actor and a very interesting bloke.
Good muso too apparently! Owns over 90 guitars and basses!
+Jahosephat Grundy absolutely agree with you!!!!!
National treasure
Yup. One of the best actors of his generation I think! Memento, L.A. Confidential!
Christopher Nolan needs to cast him in more of his recent films. This guy is a gem.
At the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival, he was pacing back and forth between the inside of the theatre and the hallway, having a clearly important conversation on his flip phone. Because of my job, I was required to open the door for him each time he passed by, which was like 30 times. He thanked me 30 times for opening the door in the span of 5 minutes. A real gentleman.
He seems so down-to-earth and easy to talk to. Talented as well.
One of the most talented and underrated actors around. Wish he'd be cast in more films. He just oozes charisma and intelligence.
I don’t care where he was born. He’s an Aussie. He’s a great actor and a lovely bloke.
Clearly identifies as Aussie
"Australia. It's surrounded by water. Wet water. Really great water. Also sharks. Not just White Sharks, but *Great* White Sharks. The best, believe me,"
TheOneWhoMightBe 😂😂😂😂😂 nailed it
Dinks
Although in typical Aussie style, they have their own name for Great Whites - "White Pointers".
They truly ARE great!
@@benjaminjonathanjamessisko7095 hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha
Just looking at Guy's calm demeanor calms me. What a guy!
Had the pleasure of meeting Guy Pearce whilst doing security for one of his Movies. He was the nicest guy and he stopped and talked with us during a break in filming. He even sat with us in the catering tent whilst having lunch. Could not have more respect for him and he is one of Australias best actors and exports. He was brilliant in the remake of the 'Time Machine"
What movie was it?
hes obviously not very australian if he cant even explain what fair dinkum means......... like fair dinkum!!!! 🤨😳😡
@@melindafrazer1427 Are you Fairdinkum?
@@karenboulter5617 knoath I am!
Loved him in The Time Machine and Memento but he was amazing in one of my favorite movies, Ravenous.
"LA Confidential" was my first introduction to Guy Pearce and Russell Crowe...damn good movie 🍿 too
and Kim Bassinger yes ?
For me it was The Time Machine, love that movie!
It was probably the first time many got a look at that other Aussie, Simon Baker, as well. He was the pretty young actor/rentboy.
Bloody oath
Very good film. Also love Memento, and Breathe In
Guy Pearce -- still a hottie after all these years.
Guy Pearce is a fantastic actor!
I always liked this guys face. It’s so symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing
yeah what a guy, .... cant even explain what fair dinkum means.... like .... fair dinkum mate. smh in disbelief!!!😳
We had to come up with “fair dinkum” because “true” or “for real” aren’t powerful enough to overcome the Australian tradition of pulling your leg.
fair dinkum!!
Well said.
Oath
Dinky di
Or “bloody oath”
Seriously 5 minutes for such an awesome actor...Guy Pearce has been in the business for 30 yrs....show some respect...8 minutes at least...😝😝
I thought the same, Nicki got 9 min! Unbelievable!!!
seriously!!!!! Such an iconic actor... there are some ppl that are underrated, Guy is one of them! He definitely deserved a better interview... it was so cold too, like the conversation was cool, but Stephen acted weird, like "oh it's nice meeting you dude. I know you're cool but we usually interview ppl on another level. still nice meeting u man". I still love Stephen, I still wish this would've been deeper
he rocked it in LA Confidential...
And she's a talentless HACK with a camel toe problem!
La confidential 👌👌👌👌👌
He played Fernand in ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ perfectly!! One of my fave movies.
Next time mr Colbert please make more time for Guy Pearce! He's such an awesome actor and human being.
In a world of great Aussie actors, he is one of the best. Guy has simply been working on his craft for decades and being wonderful at it.
I first saw him in L.A. Confidential, and he was absolutely amazing! And, of course, he was phenomenal in Memento.
My favorite bit of Aussie slang came in the classic gay film "The Sum of Us" starring Russell Crowe. At the beginning of the film, Crowe stumbles into his father's house, out-of-breath from a jog. He collapses onto the couch and shouts out, "I'm rooted!"...which apparently means "fucked." LOL. Perhaps it means "tired" too?
Mentioning Priscilla alone deserves a thumbs up. Best Aussie film of the 90s, such a delight
The sum of us. Spider and Rose. Two of my fav.
Idlewild Maniapoto
Strictly😍😍😍
Romper Stomper !!
The Castle is from the 80s, but it’s another amazing Aussie classic. Highly recommend to absolutely everybody, regardless of what country they’re from.
Loved that movie. I watched it because of Hugo Weaving, and thought everyone in it was awesome.
I chatted to Guy Pearce for a while a few years ago, and he is a nice, normal guy. Look up 'Jack Irish', based on Peter Temple's books, if you want some of his high quality bread-and-butter acting.
Have thoroughly enjoyed every series of Jack Irish.
I love the Jack Irish shows.
agree
Peter temple's great writing combined with Guy's great acting- makes for a winner. Okay, Peter doesn't write the scripts. but Jack's his man.
He is a very underrated and very talented actor.
Underrated like Eric Bana.
He's excellent in Memento, one of my favorite films of all time!
He’s actually a really cool nice guy I’ve never seen an interview with him before but I love the films he’s in
It's called 'down to earth'. He has no inflated impression of himself or his talent, unlike 90% in this industry.
I'm married to an Aussie and moved to Sydney end of 2017. Love the Aussie accent. And Sydney is beautiful!
TheTessEffect
Do you miss the US?
Glad you are enjoying Sydney. Think of Australia as a South Pacific Canada!
TheTessEffect Cool...I'm in Sydney too...born and raised. Welcome.
TheTessEffect glad your enjoying sydney , sydneys ok .......... but Melbourne is better ;) .
You married an Aussie? Fair dinkum.
Love Guy Pearce, great actor, funny man.
As an Aussie, I can testify that Australian sang is a language of its own. And we use it a hell of a lot, too!
It's "easy" in the same sense as listening to wild life is easy.
Ever listened to a crow? That's our accent. Long vowels are shortened, short vowels are lengthened, and wherever possible, words are shrunk to their small amount of syllables **BUT** at the same time drawing the word out so it took less effort to say the same amount of sound. :)
Don't believe me? Just ask any Australian a question with a short answer. 50/50 we'll say something long like Yeah-nah, or Nah-yeah, or Yeeeaah-but....
That’s a fair-dinkum go at tryin ta’ explain Aussie to a seppo 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺oioioi
how cant he explain fair dinkum???? like really? he being fair dinkum????? pfft
Fair Dinkum basically means genuine or true.
G'day,
You're not wrong.
Legend has it that Chinese Market-Gardeners who were trading Food for Money (or Gold - Nuggets, Alluvial Flakes, or Dust) back in. the Gold-Rush in the 19th Century...; used to say "Fair - Din Kum", on the closure of a transction.
Apparently it was a bi-lingual expression, being half (of) "Fair {Trade}" in English, plus "Din-Kum" which is "Real Gold" in Chinese...
Hence, by (say) 1890..., speaking in what is now known as "Old Colonial Vernacular" - right up to about late 1990s "..'Strine" ; "Fair Dinkum" is essentially an assertion or attestation of,
"NO BULLSHIT, THIS IS REAL !"
our words to that effect.
Apparently, this Citibred proffessiinal Drag-Queen is too young to know what he's babbling on about.
Such is Life,
;-p
Ciao !
Or the opposite, like the guy is full of shit if you say it slowly. Or it can be that a guy is a real stand up guy real fair dinkum. Better than tops
+Benjamin O'Donnell - And Mike "was a fair dinkum thinkum, sharpest computer you'll ever meet."
Sort of the aussie equivalent of true dat
The American equivalent would be "for real" since it can be both the question and the answer to the question
"Fair-dinkum" is contextual but the closest analog (IMO) would be like saying "for-real" ambiguously, both as question and statement.
No one uses Fair dinkum any more, back in the 50s maybe.
Throw a shrimp in the barbie, the Americans made that up for Hodges to use, we don’t put shrimp on the bbq. Prawns maybe.
@@kayemclaren5345 I say Fair dinkum, but you're right about shrimps, those are prawns.
Dinks.
The modern saying is 'oath' as I
i just watched him in the time machine again last night, enjoyed it
good film, under-rated
One of my favorite movies
Gauss24 the first DVD i own was this movie
I love that movie... Mom is always talking about it also... great actor.
yeah totally agree
I live in Melbourne Australia so Guy's a local & only just discovered him in Jack Irish (while in lockdown) & he's so good in it.
Guy Pearce Jack Irish, three telemovies and three TV series, a crying shame there wasn't another series or two or three. Guy Pearce is the biz
On ya Guy! Making Australians proud!!
FUCKEN STRAYA M8
Absolutely been a major fan of this guy since The Count of Monte Cristo, So many incredible times in my household growing up watching that movie so many times with family. Thank you for the memories Guy Peirce!
I love that movie, sooo good.
Absolutely agree. I can’t even count how many times we’ve seen that movie. He played the role so well!
Priscilla, LA Confidential, Memento... he's not the best known Australian actor, but he's probably been in the best films. Actually, Russel Crowe was also in LA Confidential... and Romper Stomper, that was good too.
Russell Crowe is from New Zealand
Yes, given all the talent in LA Confidential, his performance is memorable.
One can't be a famous Aussie unless you're born elsewhere. Mel Gibson, John Butler = America. Bee Gees, Olivia Newton John, Naomi Watts, Sophie Monk, Sam Worthington, Guy Pearce = England. Russell Crowe, Keith Urban = NZ, Nathalie Kelly = Peru, Nicole Kidman = Hawaii, Dichen Lachman = Nipple, Ilsa Fisher = Oman, Guy Sebastian = Malaysia, Julia Gillard = Wales, David Pocock = Zimbabwe, Mel Lanning = Singapore. I know all these cuz my son was born in America
+ JP51ism After seeing LA Confidential twice in theatres at the time, I was puzzled as to why everyone was making a big deal about Russell Crowe's performance, and not Guy Pearce's. And of course it was a launchpad for Crowe's subsequent career. It was strange at the time, and in retrospect. But Guy seems to be doing alright.
what about The Rover? loved that performance
"Death in Brunswick" is just so Fairdinkum. Guy Pearce in Australian movies is a Treasure for Australians to watch. He's so Aussie, and it's wonderful to watch his effortless performance in these movies. Let's hope we don't lose him to Hollywood, cos Australian movies are to be loved worldwide too. How does Guy Pearce look so good? Just saw him in 60minutes interview, and he's so young looking. Australia really needs to retain such awesome talent, without losing them to America. We need more respect for our Aussie talent here. Let's get our own Hollywood and make it Aussiewood!
Australian Slang - Fair Dinkum means "honestly"
The BEST Aussie slang he missed is "No Wuckers"
Etymology
"No F*^%ing Worries" becomes "No Wucking Forries" which is then shortened to "No Wuckers"
Dinkum!
And if you want a great Aussie film to watch, try "The Proposition"
No wuckas is the best
+emercycrite Don't listen to that drongo..... :P ( JK.... )
I've always had an odd affection for "fuckknuckle", myself...
Fair dinkum can also mean genuine in one of its nuances. "He's a fair dinkum bloke" can mean he's a genuine, nice or trustworthy person or a real blokey bloke, depending on the context. We have quite a few slang terms that are very nuanced and can be used across several contexts. The one that's hardest to explain would have to be the word mate. Depending on how you say it, it can mean a hell of a lot of things from "Are you bullshitting me?" to "You're a very dear friend", even to "You contemptible piece of human garbage" or "I'm sorry for your loss". I've heard people have nearly a whole conversation using not too many more words than just mate thrown back and forth. I'm sure that most Aussies have heard or even had a conversation like that at one time or another.
The best is Priscilla! But second best is Bad Boy Bubby
Fair dinkum....
If you’re asking about the story it means “Are you telling me the truth?”
If you’re telling the story it means “This is 100% true!”
It’s true as ‘fair dinkum’ is hard to explain to non-Aussies as it’s all in the ‘tone’ of how you use the word. It’s the same as saying ‘really’ to someone, you’re questioning if what the person is saying is true nor not! Hope that helps!
Same as sh*t or F*ck and a lot of the stuff we say...
Please. Only an idiot can't explain fair dinkum.
It's pretty much just saying "no shit?"
Or "it's legitimate"
How is that difficult to explain?
I was enjoying this interview and then he said 'we will be right back with a performance by Mac Miller' and my heart sank.
He is so charismatic. He pulled off that short sleeved shirt with such elegance.
First saw him in "The Count of Monte Cristo" when I was a kid. He's phenomenal in the Jack Irish series!
Atraxus Wraithe I love him in that
I feel happy seeing Guy mentioning Eric Bana as Chopper, such underrated filme such as him.
That was a good interview
Sadly it was short :(
Guy lived at the end of my street when I was a kid.... He's come a long way since Mike on Neighbours.
I have liked Guy Pearce since he was in the Australian series Man From Snowy River. He was the son of a rancher.
Funny enough, I saw his movie today with Liam Neeson called ' Memory' and his performance is simply outstanding !
I've always thought Guy Pearce deserved way more success than he got. He's had a great career, but I feel like he should have been a huge star but it just never quite happened for some reason.
I will say that while I wish he got more credit for his amazing talent, its good he didn't get too big because then he would just be type cast and mostly star in Hollywood crap.
He's not into the Hollywood thing. Lives pretty much full-time in Australia. Low key bloke. Makes a movie/series now and then.🤘
His choice!! Just a well balanced guy wanting a well balanced life.
His choice!! Just a well balanced guy wanting a well balanced life.
Greetings from Melbourne...Guy is a top bloke who makes us proud
Spot on. I had dinner in a cheap Asian restaurant in Footscray one night, Guy was at a nearby table, just being Mr Normal Bloke. Great actor, great bloke.
I love this guy. So much talent and the sweetest personality imaginable for such a high-profile actor.
He's such a fit daddy
emercycrite oath
Crack a fat?
Watch THE ROVER for anyone who hasn't seen it. Guy is an incredible actor!
+1 for The Rover, another brilliant movie.
First saw him Priscilla...
😍
I wonder if he still remembers all the words to Mama Mia?
Years ago when I was a film projectionist I screened "Memento". Back in those days films were delivered to cinemas on 2000 foot spools, and most cinemas would "make them up" into either a pair of 6000 foot spools or run the entire print from a platter in one continuous loop. It goes without saying it was of paramount importance that the films be made up with the spools in the correct order. The first time I screened Memento there was a bit of a panic because the of the way that film runs - the story is running from end to beginning, and some events are out of order. I was reasonably certain I'd somehow put it together wrong even though it was a new print and the spools were clearly labelled. The owner of the cinema ended up having a conversation with the distributors about notifying the projection staff when something like that happens, to prevent any alarm. Of course we soon figured out that it was supposed to be like that and all was well we spread the word to the other cinemas and everyone knew to look out for that. Ask any old projectionist about Memento and get ready for a story of exasperation.
I joked with owner of the cinema about possibly pulling it apart and putting it back together so the story ran from beginning to end, in an attempt to alleviate some of the confusion our patrons seemed to be experiencing when coming out after a screening. We never did it, but it sure would have made that a less confusing film. Little did we know that being confused would turn out to be a thing with Christopher Nolan's films. Lol.
he was unbelievable in breathe in! it is such an incredible film and very few people have seen it , it deserves more attention!
He's aging beautifully.
yeah gotta say our men age REALLY WELL here. The silver fox is a real thing that will undo a cnt here.
Memento was incredible. Pearce killed it.
Love a good Aussie actor. Been watching more of Bana recently, we really do have some damn good talent.
fair dinkum isnt reallt translatable, you just have to get it
It basically means 'genuine', 'are you being fair dinkum?' or 'is this fair dinkum?' or 'that's fair dinkum'.
It can also be an exclamation of surprise (Fair dinkum!) as in 'I can't believe it!'
As a question it can be a slightly more polite way to say 'you're full of shit'.
Everything is translatable.
Yesss
Guy played that really bad guy in Iron Man 3. He was pretty damn good in that!
I think he's great in Jack Irish.
Australians like to use 'heaps' to mean a lot.
How was the sale?
There were heaps of people.
A bit like Americans using 'super'. It was super fun, I am super mad, I am super excited, he was super angry.
Heaps good analogy, mate
An aussie might also answer that question - How was the sale? with "it was choccas" short for 'chock a block' meaning you couldn't move for all the people there.
Its mainly South Australians who use heaps.
Not an exlcusive 'Aussie-ism', (like "fair dinkum: is) though. Kiwis, (New Zealanders) say "heaps" a lot too.
While "super" is actually used a lot in England - but usually as an adjective on its own. Like:
"How was it?".
- "Oh , it was super!"
Or:
"Hey, guess what. He proposed to me!".
- "Super!".
Fairdinkum has many meanings according to the purpose one is using the word for. And the purpose one is using it for is communicated by how one says it and the facial expression one uses when saying it. It’s my favourite word.
Love him always.🥰
One of the best people on the planet.
Loved that movie where his character has trouble remembering things. Forgot what it was called.
I know him first from an Aussie tv show called Neighbours back here in Melbourne in the 80s. That tv show is still on the air too
The Proposition is still one of my fav films. fantastic, cast.
It's good that he asked him about Australian sayings. American TV hosts never ask Australian celebrities about that every time they're on their show.
Yeah, it really seems like they didn't have much to discuss eh?
Russell Crowe was phenomenal in Romper Stomper. But not to many remember him in the film “The Sum of Us” which came out a year later; where he plays a young gay, rugby playing plumber, who lives with his very loving and supportive father, played by the legendary veteran Australian actor, Jack Thompson. His portrayal in Romper Stomper was amazing, but his role in The Sum of Us is Underlooked and underrated, at least here in the U.S. I really liked his portrayal in this film, a tough and complexed, yet sensitive, vulnerable, supportive, loving and compassionate character. It is definitely one of my favorite Australian films from the early/ mid 90’s, one of my most favorite movies in general.Priscilla Queen of the desert is also great film, Guy Pearce was superb in his performance in this film. And Both Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce were outstanding in their performances In the 1997 film, L.A. Confidential, and it was one the earlier films where Australian actors were playing American leads in Hollywood. At least in a more mainstream way.
Sum Of Us was brilliant, especially for that period of time when it was still a pretty sensitive topic.
Memento is one of my all time favourite movies. Great actor!
The Proposition and Rover are my favorite Pearce films. Amazing actor.
The Proposition is among the best Westerns ever made.
Let alone movies in general. The whole vibe that movie gave along with the soundtrack is transcendent.
Yep, an amazing film, Guy was brilliant in that. Danny Huston, Ray Winstone, John Hurt, also at the top of their game.
That ending shot of the two men sitting in the desert should go down in history as one of the greatest ever.
@@anthonybrett That movie rules. Pearce, Winstone, Huston, and Hurt (R.I.P Legend) we're all amazing.
wouldn t it be a "Southern" though? like a sub-genre of the "cowboy" movies, that in the vernacular became known as "Westerns" ? since it s beeing shot and takes place in Australia... an australian themed "Western" so to say... been pondering this, after reading the comment...
@@dimikaitanidis8612 I don't know about that. To me, a Western is a certain tone of story with a number of identifiable tropes and themes. It's not necessarily about the setting location, although I feel the land ought to be untamed in some way, and barren of morality in most ways. A story set outside of civilisation, or on the frontiers at its edges. In my opinion, a Western can be set anywhere, even on another planet. I consider The Mandalorian to be a Western, for example, or at least uncannily close to a Western at various points. And I assume the creators intended it to be so, given how much they borrow from and pay homage to the Western genre.
Short interview but very nice. Great guy Guy...
That was a pretty low keyed/short interview for such a talented actor! Memento is one of my all time favourite movies...soooo good!
Delightful conversation
I was today years old when I found out Guy Pearce was Australian
His American accent is so good!
Love the man. His humor is as dry as a dead dingo’s donger.
Blud oath👍
Going for Priscilla in theater tonight. Love both Guy and Hugo Weaving.
I heard Fair dinkum was said by the early Dutch in Australia, they would have some type of drinking games with the local Aussies.
The Dutch wanted to keep the drinks fair, beer for beer & whisky for whisky, so they would say Fair Drinking but with an accent it sounded like fair dinkum.
It just stuck.
Yes Yes Yes! I love Guy Pearce!
The Australian accent is difficult for Australians as well. Whenever I hear an Aussie on American TV it sounds exaggerated. I'm Australian by the way.
CerBoris i know right. English is my second language but everytime i heard steve irwin i thougjt far out how put on is that. Till i met my father in law and my friend' dad and uncle ( real ocker blokes former drovers)
"The Australian accent is difficult for Australians as well"... sorry, but that is nonsense. Dinks!
CerBoris I've noticed that people from Brisbane have more of an accent than from Perth, for example
Yes, especially from IPSWICH! (Pauline country!)
I KNOW RITE ????? More American crap speak we don’t need thanks cobber !!!!!
I do the same musical theatre as Guy Pierce did before he was famous and it feels like an honour ❤️❤️
i have had a major crush on Guy Pearce since Ravenous. To me this man can do no wrong. it's embarrassing how much i adore him
Absolute fan of Guy Pearce, if you didn't watch The Rover, go for it, he is incredible at showing emotions, then any movie with him!
Guy Pearce is the the one famous Aussie were all proud of.
devine999 SHEEP MOLESTERS
Guy Pearce
from which Aussies are created!!!
Not also Our Cate? She’s pretty well respected. As is Judy Davis. And the Hemsworths. And Toni Collette. There’s a few Aussie actors that are very well respected.
ferk off cobber speak for yourself his parents are poms so he is more pom than Aussie. living here for most of your life does not make you an Australian that takes generations to leave the OLD country ways behind .
He was in a few GREAT movies I've enjoyed my whole life!
What a cool guy.
Guy looks gorgeous with beard, glasses and greying hair
I love him. Such a national treasure :D
I loved him in the count of monte cristo, also in the time machine, memento was amazing as well.
OH he is one of the BEST, do not get why others do not sing his praises. I have seen some amazing old films of his. Astonishing.
Jack Irish, once of the best Aussie shows in decades
Jack Irish, great character, great show, great look around the real Melbourne.
Guy is a national treasure
He's so funny and relaxed . ❤❤❤❤
He’s my favorite actor
Guy Pierce kinda has a Gary Oldham thing going on, but he'll yeah he is awesome. My favorite role of his is Count Montego in the Count of Monte Cristo
I love this guy, Guy!
It doesn't get much better than Guy Pearce as Ed Exley in L.A. Confidential.
