i'd agree....except there is nO EASIER QUESTION TO ANSWER. We ALL know exactly what death is like: it's like 10 years BEFORE You were born. Whatever that waslike, and what your soul was up to, is what it's like AFTER.
He starred in a great horror movie I'm not sure but I think it was called sinister if I'm wrong about the title please reply and let me know what the title is His character moves his family to a house where the entire family was murdered to write about it and finds some old reel to reel movies and sees what could be best described as a demon and it looks back at him
I've always been a fan of Ethan Hawke's work. His pause before answering 'what do you think happens when we die' is quite touching. His answer was beautiful.
I never expected such a deep and profound answer to the "what happens when we die" question...particularly not from Ethan Hawke. I have to say...his thought provoking answer blew me away...
Man, I'm a huge fan of Ethan Hawke. He is so intelligent and a true student of literature and film. I like how he makes the blockbuster, then makes a low-budget indie film or two that pushes the boundaries. His range as an actor is astounding. Second, he was with Uma Thurman. As a man, I have to respect his magnetism. The most captivating woman and actress of my time, and I watched everything Uma was in. They made beautiful and talented children together. Maya Hawke is a really talented musician and actress in her own right. Even separated with Uma he's being a good father. Ethan just keeps winning at life because he knows himself, his art, and his family. What's not to admire?
His answer for 'when we die' made me cry. I agree & I hope my dad is ok. Ran out of time to spend in this life before he died. At 50 the word Time bothers me. I know it's running out in this life yet I keep taking it for granted mostly without realizing. Despair is setting in
Damn, you said it, I'm so with ya there 100%. Just hit 52 & that realization & despair keeps kicking my ass, it's just plain hard, I'm tryin to fight it but, damn, it's hard...
filips C Movie roles are temporary (has start and end date within a movie) but not the actor who experiences different roles in different movies (life). It is the reason why Ethan said that we (conscious, immortal, nondual, immanent and omnipresent self) cannot die even though the material realm goes through perpetual duality cycles just like time. Karma or cause and effect and reincarnation (birth/death duality cycles of humans) is based on Hindu/Vedic metaphysics which can be validated by logic, double slit quantum experiment and embodied experience. Identification with thoughts and body is just an illusion created by ignorance, wrong assumption that body is the experiencer of 5 senses not the conscious self (which is not the doer) and ego (which creates false sense of i)
I think everybody takes life for granted I try not to anymore because I was in a terrible accident on my parents passed away in it I survive they didn’t so I try not to take it for granted because they were gone in a blink of an eye, life is short and less sometimes we don’t think about that cause every day on earth with your last day.
Ethan Hawke seems like such an overlooked actor. In his age I see him running a lot of good roles superbly. Think of this man in a western. Would kill it
that "favorite smell" question really hit me hard. as people we each have an unique smell like our DNA. i am not talking about the perfumes or bath products we use. when we're closer to our loved ones we can sense that smell in our brain. i still remember my first girlfriend's smell that is something i would never forget.
I am in love ... Ethan's answer on, what he thinks happens after we die, is exactly where I have landed in my beliefs at 50. I never had a star crush on him in the 90s, but every part of, this part 1, pulled me in. Lucky wife of his, having pharamones that are his favorite scent. Whoa. Lol.
One of the best pieces I’ve ever read is by Ethan. A piece in Rolling Stone magazine some years ago about Kris Kristofferson. ❤️ He’s a fantastic writer.
To be honest I always had an impression of Ethan as somewhat stuck up and full of himself but his answer about what happens when we die really won me over. So humble and deep.
I know everyone is talking about his profound answer about what happens when we die, but I’m just happy someone finally said Die Hard is their favorite action movie.
Kudo's for Ethan for chacking and noticing the ticks. He is probably a nature guy and ticks can happen. I did not notice and now in my 20th year of Lyme disease, which has defined my lifa all those time
One interesting thing is that most people who took the Questionert said they ask for the autographs of baseball players, Ethank Hawke switched it around with Kris Kristofferson.
That answer about what happens after death is just perfect... Something like Shakespearean. That's why Ethan Hawk has always been one of my favorite actors.
5:14 Amazing answer. My only quibble is that dogs are extreme creatures of habit and do seem to understand the concept of time. but then again I suppose that only further reinforces his point.
There should be a movie casting Josh Brolin and Ethen Hawke - both *bearded* versions - as siblings. Maybe make them rough bikers (Josh being the older, more grizzled brother).
Ethan Hawke always gives the most interesting, thought-provoking and funny interviews... which has always messed with my head, because in his body of work, the things he has done I really liked are few and far between, so I always really want to like him, but somehow still don't most times I watch one of his movies or shows 🤔
My dog knows exactly what time it is, to the minute: bed time, dinner time, walk time. He knows. Rain storms? He knows they're coming and how long they're going to last.
I want an entire explanation to Ethan Hawke's answer to the question: " What happens when we die?" That was very interesting...especially the part where he says he doesn't feel he has the DNA to really answer such a question...
UNTHINKABLE SANDWICH ANSWER THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED! What a godmode sandwich answer I am going to go live in the woods for 30 years and think about how unstoppably classy of a choice that is, until i can comprehend how a PB&J is better than a Philly Cheesesteak. Ethan Hawke is enlightened.
1. Philly steak 2. too many pens 3. wasp 4. Red Delicious 5. Chaim Potok, Ralph Samson (all Golden State Warriors, actually) 6. heaven/hell 7. Alien 8. window--I can go an entire flight without using restroom 9. skunk--#2 is rotten-egg diesel exhaust 10. other people's bodily odors
"Ethan Hawke seems like a guy who wasn't supposed to be a movie star, but he slipped through the cracks and everyone was just like..."OK." 🤣 -Mean Tweets
Best sandwich: Grilled cheese made with pumpernickel and both Havarti and tomato-basil feta cheeses (about 50% each). It's messy if you use too much cheese because they both become runny when melted, but it tastes SO GOOD!!! (Don't burn it!!!) I like mine with a vouvray - Domaine de la Racauderie - or a fruity Gewurztraminer. It breaks a lot of rules, but try it! (Chef Beena patent pending :-P )
I liked his answer to the “what happens when we die” question. He seems like a good person to have a conversation with.
he seems like a good person to have some Psilocybin with
It was a good answer, deep, but more than a little "I don't want to believe it's over."
Listen to his episode on Smartless (podcast)
@@Padidas85 Will do.
He's full of SHIT.
His answer to what happens when we die has to be one of the most profound and thought provoking answers yet given on this show. Such an amazing man.
All I know is, nothing will ever happen to me again. But I also think he's right.
honestly. caught me off guard there.. i had to pause and sit with that.
Interesting take. I think what he's trying to say is that our consciousness, in some form, is immortal.
i'd agree....except there is nO EASIER QUESTION TO ANSWER.
We ALL know exactly what death is like: it's like 10 years BEFORE You were born.

@@jonbongjovi1869 We'll I'd say it's not that easy, but I love your answer too much...thanks, oh bongie-one👏🏼💗✌🏼
Such a classy actor, from Dead Poets Society to the Before Trilogy and Boyhood, all masterful performances!
He starred in a great horror movie I'm not sure but I think it was called sinister if I'm wrong about the title please reply and let me know what the title is
His character moves his family to a house where the entire family was murdered to write about it and finds some old reel to reel movies and sees what could be best described as a demon and it looks back at him
I wanted to like Boyhood more than I actually did. His performance was really honest, though.
First reformed is his mangum opus
Don't forget Training Day ;)
@@tracy9531 Yes, Sinister is great.

They made beautiful and talented children together. Maya Hawke is a really talented musician and actress in her own right. Even separated with Uma he's being a good father.
Ethan just keeps winning at life because he knows himself, his art, and his family.
What's not to admire?
@H FT Everyone has some degree of creepiness or weirdness.
Love Ethan's answers and overall personality!
Such a wonderful genuine human. Worked alongside him in Nova Scotia, and he was lovely.
You are SO lucky!

I swear I've seen him in a Western before.
@@the.shotgun.approachHe was in the remake of The Magnificent Seven. He was probably the best part too.
Good western «In a Valley of Violence» Etan Hawke with John Travolta !
you should read his cowritten graphic novel. it is very western and very badass...
His answer to the question: where do you think we go after death? was elequent, smart, and thoughtfull...really agree with him and like his answer.
I love Ethan. Well put sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
Damn Ethan that is the deepest answer to that question or almost any other question any other guest has ever answered in the segment…..
Which one? The apples and oranges? Aisle or window?
that "favorite smell" question really hit me hard. as people we each have an unique smell like our DNA. i am not talking about the perfumes or bath products we use. when we're closer to our loved ones we can sense that smell in our brain. i still remember my first girlfriend's smell that is something i would never forget.
Isn’t it fascinating how our sense of smell triggers “memory” ...

Im with ya, sister
One of the best pieces I’ve ever read is by Ethan. A piece in Rolling Stone magazine some years ago about Kris Kristofferson. ❤️ He’s a fantastic writer.
One of the greatest actors of his generation. His consistency throughout his career is unparalleled.
To be honest I always had an impression of Ethan as somewhat stuck up and full of himself but his answer about what happens when we die really won me over. So humble and deep.
😂😂😂 “90% of the clothes I own are from 1992..” 😂😂😂
I can relate
Good to hear he can still fit in them. 😅
One of the best explanations of what happens after we die.
It's Impossible to... know. Life is too big to put a definition on.
I wish I could find a man who felt that honesty and openness was preferable to lies and cheating.
Love the Colbert Questionnaire. Love the Ethan Hawke. It’s gonna be a good day.
HE'S SO THOUGHTFUL AND REAL😭❤️
The Questionert is Stephen’s best extra segment. Ethan Hawke so smart and classy ❤️
I know everyone is talking about his profound answer about what happens when we die, but I’m just happy someone finally said Die Hard is their favorite action movie.
the true joy in his face about die hard being a christmas movie
Steve is my favorite, because of his wit. I REALLY enjoy his show !!!
Now that's the honesty we all need to check off our lists. Thanks, good questionnaire!
5:36 now that's genuine humility and a sincerely silly gentleman
Intelligent and mature answer about what happens after we die. Clever..
Die hard a Christmas movie?
Yeah! Sure! Sure!
Epic response 😅
"What do you think happens when we die?"
Well... Khonshu's voice booms in your inner ear...
Kudo's for Ethan for chacking and noticing the ticks. He is probably a nature guy and ticks can happen. I did not notice and now in my 20th year of Lyme disease, which has defined my lifa all those time
Never thought I would see someone that shares so many answers with me. Love Ethan ❤️
Best answer to almost every question esp the “what happens when we die” question
Ticks are the WORST!!
I am surprised how much more that I adore Ethan Hawke after that interview! (And I already held him in high esteem)❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I loved Ethan Hawke when I was young, and now I love him even more.
That's the exact same thing I think when we die. The smile i had while he was talking about that was huge.
Awww loved him since the early 90’s. Great answers!!
One interesting thing is that most people who took the Questionert said they ask for the autographs of baseball players, Ethank Hawke switched it around with Kris Kristofferson.
His answer of "what happens when we die?" is very.. Sci-fi. Like somebody can make a movie out of that.
Ethan Hawke's cameos in the "Colbert in the Attic" era were so indescribably offbeat and wonderful ...
Man, I'd love to smoke a bowl with these two. The conversations would be EPIC.
The way this guy answers questions, I understand, now, why _two_ segments were necessary.
Ethan needs to do a movie with Josh Brolin, as his brother. They look like brothers.
Lol
Ethan is an authentic person, amen.
Wow this questionnaire actually worked with him lol. I feel like I know him much more profoundly now.
That answer about what happens after death is just perfect... Something like Shakespearean. That's why Ethan Hawk has always been one of my favorite actors.
5:14 Amazing answer. My only quibble is that dogs are extreme creatures of habit and do seem to understand the concept of time. but then again I suppose that only further reinforces his point.
I didn't know how badly I needed this in my life.
I fully appreciate the humility and wisdom of his response to the death question.
Best one who has answered these!
I freely admit I did the "awww" along with the crowd when he said his favorite smell was his wife.
There should be a movie casting Josh Brolin and Ethen Hawke - both *bearded* versions - as siblings. Maybe make them rough bikers (Josh being the older, more grizzled brother).
I just love Ethan Hawke!
The part with the dog and the clock... Wow 😮🐕🕐❓
Ethan Hawke (otherwise known as Handsome Hawke - see Jimmy Kimmel Handsome Man Club!) looks more and more like one of the Brolins...
Wow .his answer to what happens when you die,made me cry. Beautiful. Ty
yeah the divine concept of time!I knew I loved this guy!
Just pointing out that Die Hard came out on July 4th weekend. Of course, nothing says a Christmas film cannot come out at other times of the year.
How many people have your Questionert answers ready, just in case Stephen has you on the show?
what happens when we die ? best answer ever TRUTH ...now i know why I always loved Ethan his words are like apples of gold in pictures of silver
“Dads watching that old kidnapper guy from black phone on UA-cam” -my kids
What a classy fella. Always enjoy his work.
PBJ and ticks. He's my spirit animal.
Just watched Black Phone 2 nights ago...this man scares the shit out of me 🤣🤣
that was a written character, that he performed well.
He seems like a really great guy. Very thoughtful and engaging.

Great response to that question … what happens when we die…. no one knows….respect!👏🏽❤️
Kudos to his answer of what happens when we die:
Not “the intelligence or the DNA-makeup to answer that question,..” 👍 🙏
Then immediately, without hesitation, followed with "Favorite action movie?" | "Die Hard!" ..... Love it!
I was already a fan of Ethan Hawke - even more so now. Same with the 2 x Die Hard answers.
Good honest emotional guy right here..
Really enjoyed it! Love both of them ❤
finally someone answered the action movie question correctly.
I dunno; Die Hard is always up there in my list, but also The Warriors and The Magnificent Seven.
@@ericminch I think Aliens is till the perfect action movie..Die Hard is a close second.
Wow, Ethan Hawk is such a genuine and cool dude.
My favorite Ethan Hawke movie: 'Maddie' with Sadie Hawkins... awesome!
“Maudie”, and yes it was a fabulous lovely movie.
Die Hard answer. Two out of two. Amazing.
I want an entire explanation to Ethan Hawke's answer to the question: " What happens when we die?" That was very interesting...especially the part where he says he doesn't feel he has the DNA to really answer such a question...
Haven't seen one of these in a while, and yet just yesterday I was contemplating the answer to the best sandwich question. Seriously.
I keep waiting for one of these folks to say that the best sandwich is a Rueben. LOL
It aint Christmas until Gruber drops.

My dog understands the clock ⏰ perfectly and knows exactly the times
What happens when we die -- I like his answer.
WHAT???!! I love him even MORE??!!! Not. Possible.
Fantastic answers!
He is a fine Author as well.Good reads
Human! Human being is the scariest animal, Stephen.
Nice answers. A tick isn't an insect - it's an arachnid - but still, the Hawke seems like a good guy.
Ticks are not insects, they are arachnids, even worse
REAL DEEP ANSWER ON WHAT HAPPENS TO US WHEN WE DIE!!!
I loved his answer to what happens when we die. He articulated what I feel perfectly.
1. Philly steak
2. too many pens
3. wasp
4. Red Delicious
5. Chaim Potok, Ralph Samson (all Golden State Warriors, actually)
6. heaven/hell
7. Alien
8. window--I can go an entire flight without using restroom
9. skunk--#2 is rotten-egg diesel exhaust
10. other people's bodily odors
What a thoughtful humyn
A great actor. He was phenomenal in Training Day, but if you want to go back several years, he was also great in Reality Bites.
Okay, Ethan making me cry. Love you Ethan

um. have you seen the way he looked in his 20s and 30s? 🤔
(comment reeks of 'clueless millennial')
i love him so much
