Whoever sat Kieran and Pedro beside each other deserves a raise.
I came in here for Pedro and I came out... Uh, still a Pedro fan, but I'm a Kieran fan too now!
💯
its giving!
They put the two most animated front and center! I think Pedro’s mike was turned up the loudest too. Everyone was hanging on his every word as they should.❤
Amen!
Let's all start a petition to get Evan Peters in Romcoms or just comedies he needs light
Please!!! Especially a romance 👀
damn right sis!!
His brief cameo role in WandaVision was so lighthearted and fun, it's too bad he doesn't find something in that similar spirit. He really has incredible comic timing!
He did quicksilver, he’s fine 😂😂😂
YASS !!
Jeff Bridges asking Evan Peters about something positive about his experience on Dahmer is a great moment to me. You can tell he sees the affect the role still has on him, and by asking that it seems to be his way of trying to help him find some kind of light from what was clearly a dark experience.
You could also tell Evan really had a hard time to come up with an answer.
gen question sorry if its weird..but if Evan playing that horrible character with the messed up storyline line the difference being it actually happened irl why did he choose to go forward with it? I feel bad but I'd understand and empathise with how he's feeling if it was fiction? is that crazy
@@zara7302 I mean he wouldn't have known before hand if it would affect him or how to what degree. Sure it's fiction and not real, but you're still saying and doing things that are horrible. Over and over again due to multiple takes and whatnot. I think some actors are just better at leaving the work st work verses some that have a hard time not letting it get in their head. What he was portraying wasn't real in the sense he never really did it, but that doesn't change the emotional aspect.
Dude...yeah he could tell and really tried to reach him which was awesome to watch
@@zara7302 They need jobs, maybe it was the only one he could find at the moment
The sincere, shy, quiet, “Can I ask you a question?” Evan says to Jeff is just so endearing
Yes 😊❤️
Time stamp?
@@womp2x 43:33 :)
Evan is wonderful. I adore him so much
Reading into a little much? He was just getting the question in before they went to another topic.
I love how comforting they tried to be for Evan. Especially Jeff trying to get Evan to find something positive from the experience🥺
I loved that too, like so supportive and Jeff as the wise elder telling him to breathe and Evan lit up with their commonality of wim hof
Yea.. Jeff seemed genuinely concerned 🥺
nobody wants to see a heath situation happen ever again :(
When? Time stamp?
He tried to explain something positive he at least learned from it but understandably it was difficult to explain.
Evan Peters and Pedro Pascal. The world is blessed today.
moja jula
@@julcia7871 ARIANA WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE HA HA HA
I raise you with Jeff Bridges
Ahh fr
YEAH!
Kieran Culkin could become a late night show host so easily. He has the charisma, the humor and the genuine interest in the opinions of others. Makes him more qualified than the vast majority of hosts.
I definitely want to see Kieran have his own show, any show. He's so entertaining and has great timing.
I agree !
He’s charming and that’s something we don’t see as much of
Makes me think he was never acting for the role of Roman
@@surajrajamohan383 his award speech really goes to show that too! he didn’t have anything prepared and it really just emphasized how similar he is to roman and vice versa
as a psychology student one thing I noted that Pedro does alot when he talks is making eye-contact with everyone in the room, which makes them feel more involved and have a sense of belonging in the conversation. so sweet!!
yes, I have even seen a video or two on behavior using him as an example of proper behavior in a group or with women. Women have said the same thing when he talks to them. He give them his whole focus.
Expert
Overreading it but okay. Psychology is not the pseudoscience you are presenting here.
@@roshie187 It is basic psychology or a study of behavior, I don't think the comment is an overreading. He is well known for being an inclusive person and always involving everyone in a conversation; he is extremely polite and also known to be kind hearted. I do note however, that he sits with his hands across his chest for much of the time in this group, so he may be feeling defensive for some reason. If you watch his interviews, which his fans do, he is generally a very open person.
@@archaeologyfornon-archaeol1014 based on this video it's overreading. In the field too mind you.
evan being so brooding and quiet compared to kieran being so childlike and chaotic is so funny
Just like Kieran and his costar Jeremy Strong 😆
@@joejellyfish ik! i love their dynamic
I'd imagine they are nervous being at this table. And they handle it in their own ways lol One is reserved and the other is fidgety and chaotic lol
i dont think thats what hes feeling... super fans are so weird 💀
You know, once upon a time Evan has that in him too
Kieran and Pedro becoming besties out of nowhere is pure gold
I love how DADDY Pedro is just "so humble" and is not letting his '15 minutes of Fame' go to his head........this is "CLEARLY" seen by how he and Kieran dominated the conversation and kept interrupting Idris, Jeff and Evan, and wouldn't let them finish a thought.........you can tell both of those dudes are sooooo full of themselves. Kieran is definitely only a few steps away from his 1-note character in Succession and rehab, and Pedro is talking like his brief work in GOT somehow even comes close to Idris in Snowfall, Jeff in EVERYTHING, and Evan in Dahmer.......it was laughable seeing the "kids table" hog any serious discussion of acting.
@@slmeucalesa1 wildly off base comment wow lmao
@@slmeucalesa1 did you watch the same interview? lol
When Pedro properly smacks him on the shoulder as if they had been buddies for years!
you're so parasocial
i’m literally praying for Evan Peters. i see that some actors don’t realize the emotional, mental and spiritual costs of these roles until after the fact. he looks like he’s carrying so much. they better keep checking on him.
Same, I started crying after listening to him. I truly hope he has people around him.
It was his body language for me
@@geraldgm610 what ?🤔
They are allowing demons to possess them to play those roles. They all need prayer in Jesus’ name, Amen.
He just doesnt like the "sound of his own voice" that much unlike some..
We all love Pedro, but Evan Peters is such a great yet underrated actor, I think all his roles really have made an impact on him, he is so smart, quiet and looks like an introverted human being. People must understand that his roles havent been the easiest and that shows, he has so much talent.
he is still young, so he can do more.
SO underrated!!! He's one of those incredible actors that deserves an Oscar but will probably never get one.
HES SUCH AN INCREDIBLE ACTOR
@@misse0077 he has a golden globe fo Damer, he can't get Oscar, it's not a movie
@@ingada it means he should do more movies of that scale
Kieran was amazing interviewing Evan, being empathetic and asking the right questions to get him to expand on his answer, because you can see that he really cared to know
Yeah...I think Kieran could see how hard that role was for him. I'm glad he was empathetic to Evan ❤
Fuller still wets the bed when he doesn't go easy on the pepsi.
Kieran has an outstanding backup career as an interviewer, if ever wants to pursue that.
He's changed over the years. A real talented and empathetic person💜
I wonder if he asked those questions because he's been in close proximity to someone who works like that... How much of Evan hunted eyes remind him of Jeremy's.
Evan needs a comedy. He had such a small part in The Office, and made that memorable. He is amazing
Have you seen “American animals”
He’s transcended comedy at this point. He’s the next Daniel Day Lewis
Let’s not forget his hero role as Quicksilver.
I mean quicksilver was a fun character for him to play
In one of his earlier roles in the movie Never Back Down, he was hilarious as the goofy best friend, Max Cooperman. One of my favorite characters ever
14:38 notice how Pedro is looking at Evan with pure concern. 🥺 He like the rest can sense the sadness he’s carrying around from such a dark role. Hoping for brighter days and roles for Evan Peters!
Yes Kieran was too. Seemed sad for Evan that he was struggling. I'm glad he at least said yes to being on the roundtable.
Ya and Evan noticed this and looks back at Pedro if you look closely. I hope they reached to one another afterwards.
I love Kieran Culkin's curiosity....his deep rooted interest in his colleagues is so admirable
I love how they're all asking each other questions, feels more like a conversation rather than an interview. This is by far one of the best thr roundtables.
That's what I thought exactly
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote: "Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything" ~ Plato
Their Roundtable from a year or two ago with Nic Cage and Andrew Garfield is another great one for that
I love how DADDY Pedro is just "so humble" and is not letting his '15 minutes of Fame' go to his head........this is "CLEARLY" seen by how he and Kieran dominated the conversation and kept interrupting Idris, Jeff and Evan, and wouldn't let them finish a thought.........you can tell both of those dudes are sooooo full of themselves.

The way they are all so interested in Evan. He is such a talented actor.
Aren't we all 😂❤
Because he’s great and they know ❤😊
Because he played a REAL serial killer. The rest were fake characters.
He was absolutely chilling as Dahmer. He completely brought that character to life and they were in awe.
I mean that's about the heaviest role an actor could ever play. I'm sure they're all extremely interested. And a bit jealous. Lol
When Evan said “ I’m interested in exploring the light” made my heart so happy. ❤
Kieran and Pedro DEFINITELY should have their own comedy series
😂😂 real
Jeff Bridges is such an icon. I’m so glad his cancer is in remission. Much love to The Dude.
The dude abides
He was definitely my favourite in this interview, he's so cool! 😂
The world doesn’t deserve Jeff Bridges, what an adorable guy
I know him from True Grit. Didn’t know he was ill 😢
He looks amazing 🎉
Pedro Pascal truly does deserve all this „sudden“ (compared to his very long, hardworking career) success. Not only is he an incredible actor but also very rare example of a genuine person, especially compared to other Hollywood-men.
He's the only interesting thing about Hollywood
So humble as well!
Agreed! He has a humility and kindness that's very hard to find in celebrities in general
no way, he is wooden and overhyped propped up by vapid stans
He totally deserves it all and more
the fact that Kieran is asking the questions that any fan would ask to those amazing actors is priceless, he represents us!!!
I want to see Evan on a black comedy series similar to Succession or Beef, where characters aren’t goofy but they still make you laugh.
Yes! He'd be really great in a show like that ❤
A Veep type thing I think would work for him too.
I think even playing someone like Kendall or Roman would be too dark for him right now. He was great on Mare of East town. Too bad they killed him off, so no spin-off.
Pedro and Kieran are a match made in heaven. Pure chaotic energy. I would love to see them in the next installment of Knives Out or White lotus.
i second this!
THISSSSSSSS I NEED THEM IN A KNIVES OUT MOVIE
Yes!!!❤
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Wym? 2:23
pedro and kieran in knives out… this needs to happen
The fact they all treated Evan like a human, especially when talking about his time filming dahmer. They all, especially kieran, Jeff and Pedro, were so attentive to his answers.
why wouldn't they treat him like a human?
@@Nathan47223 Because public doesn’t, so he’s not really used to it
@@Nathan47223 because people hate him for playing Dahmer. They vilify him as a human being
Celebrities are now getting praised for treating people like humans wow
No it’s because regardless of the integrity of the actor, the producers decided to make a film with a serial killer as the protagonist. This actor isn’t the problem - they are.
Watching everyone respect Evan Peters when he talks about prepping for his role as Dahmer is awe-inspiring. It seems as though they all respect him as an actor for taking on such a difficult role.
Yeah I think so too. Courageous actor ❤
I think they all know that Evan is an amazing and talented Actor.
The way Pedro watches Evan at 14:40 makes me think that he felt Evans pain and suffering from doing those dramatic roles all the time
Pedro is, allegedly a very kind and compassionate person, or so everyone who meets him says.
nah he was zoned out
This was such a wonderful group to get together. And poor Evan needs to live with Jeff and Pedro for like a year to learn how to release all that evil he had to deal with.
I’ll sign up for that year as well 😅 but seriously yes he needs that therapy I don’t want anything to happen to him.
when did this happen I missed it
I would give evan therapy no probs. ❤️❤️❤️
i didnt expect Evan to be so melancholy and depressed.. i hope the guy is okay
Yes somebody check on him and next project comedy or children movie❤
Kieran basically laying on the table is giving me Roman vibes 😂
His mannerisms are so Roman it's hilarious
Still in character 🤣or Roman is very similar to the real Kieran which I think so 😅
I still see him as the little boy in Home Alone 😊
@@mariewiseman2962 The Home Alone kid is his brother Macaulay lmao
@@ureallysuckglobes Kieran plays his cousin, the one with the drink problem 🥤
Jeff Bridges being quiet while they’re all talking about the heaviness of embodying a character and he’s just like “I don’t know I sorta pray before a scene”. Guys been at this a long time lol legend
He comes from a family of actors and came up through the Disney system, I think being around it for so long gives him the ability to right-size it. He almost has a British attitude about acting in that he is able to just show up and move his face and change his voice a little and just deliver without being consumed by it.
This made me want to give Evan a hug. I absolutely adored him as Peter Maximoff in the MCU. He made the character so lovable and funny. Those side characters that don't get as much screen time, but who still manage to worm their way into our hearts are my favorite. ❤
I agree, he was miles better than the guy who played Peter in avengers.
We must keep Evan Peters safe. He is such a brilliant actor.
Best actor ever
Poor guy seems traumatized for real.
@@potatopirate5557 he really does 😢 hope he gets a brighter lighter role soon
He needs to take a break he’s working so much :(❤
Seems like someone who will avoid human interactions while getting his reclusiveness on….I assume he’ll stay safe
Pedro talks so passionately about acting, both in his own career and with those around him. it’s a shame the only thing anyone ever asks him about is his “daddy” status.
Completely agree...there are loads of questions I'd love for him to answer that have nothing to do with that and yet it continues to be the most referenced thing. I would love to ask if he'd ever consider going back to theater - some actors like to rotate between different types of performances if they can - or if he thinks he's grown out of that now. I'd love to talk to him about some of the books he's recommended and how they've had an impact on him. I have a laundry list of questions that just never get asked somehow. Granted I'm only 18 mins into the video so ... who knows, maybe they do talk about that, although I'll be surprised.
@@deathwitheponine I would love for him to return to the stage!
I hate when he gets asked that. It's so weird, and kinda embarrassing.
Yep... It was kind of funny for like a week, now it's anoying and disrespectfull to keep getting it there without reason
And this is supposed to be a respectable publication
Kieran is such a great conversationalist. He kept everything very engaging.
THE CULKINS , THEY ARE TALENTED ARTISTS
THE CULKINS IS THE BEST HOLLYWOOD FAMILY IDC
Jeff Bridges' Tron joke falling flat on all of the others just made me feel very old. Epic dad joke, I laughed out loud!
Came here to say this! I laughed so hard when he said that and was stunned when nobody got it! Hahahah!
I can’t believe they missed it! Nearly fell out of my chair. 10/10 joke
It was elite.
It was gold!!
time??
Kieran has shown the range he has with succession. Drama, comedy, improv, he's done it all brilliantly.
Dude, the most recent episode especially sold it for me like jeeez. He is truly an amazing actor and I wonder what roles he'll get from here. I think Roman will always be his standout role. I mean, that character is so complex and fun to play. I know the creator knows what he's doing but man, it really does feel like there could be more seasons of the show. I bet the cast is bummed out- they must know those roles are once in a lifetime.
@@an-qo6by fr fr, the roles they have had with succession are one in a million, the depth they have, how brilliantly they're characters are written and the freedom they have to add more layers to each is something rare and it's what makes the show outstanding, just a great ensamble.
@@an-qo6by depending on who inherits the throne, I think there will definitely be a spin-off
I wouldn't say he has real range, though. He seems to play versions of himself, in a sense. Not a total transformation like some actors are capable of.
@@an-qo6byRoman is Kieran.
not enough love in the comments for Michael Imperioli. unbelievably talented actor
The way he’s not in the title upsets me
He seems a bit shy too. Pedro gave him props when they talked about how Sopranos changed the whole tv scene for cable tv.
Exactly
@@archaeologyfornon-archaeol1014 From previous interviews I've seen he strikes me as a very humble guy who is more interested in other people than talking about himself. Still would've been nice to hear more from him.
Spider forever
Love how Pedro addresed Michael Imperioli and the Sopranos' contribution as breaking the wall and making television as serious as movies.
Same, thought no one would mention that
14:40 When Pedro stares at Evan, and Even looks back at him, then their immediate reactions (Pedro looks away and Evan goes to grab his water) makes me hope that Evan gets help. Anyone with eyes can see he's wasn't okay after that role, and even though it's nice for him to be with other well respected, serious and professional actors that completely understand, it's another thing to actually have someone reach out and stick with you when you're going through the worst. I think throughout the whole interview everyone seemed to be considerate of him and wanting to make him more comfortable, but sometimes that only makes you want to pull away more, so I hope he's doing well and getting help from his peers and loved ones...
relax he is fine
@@frydsaman6857do you know him personally? 🙄
@@Cuteneyth Do you?
@@strawberrymix6233 of course not, but he said by himself on interviews that he need a break on dark roles like this, that he have to go to therapy for his mental health etc. So i just listen the concerned people before saying anything , that’s all 🤷🏻♀️
Victims of Jeffrey Dahmer needed some help.. He needs to wake the f up and realise how damn lucky and beloved he is
Kieran deserves an Emmy for this season of Succession. He's been incredible. Still not over that funeral scene where he breaks down 🙌
I CONCUR! and that scene is the best yet the saddest scene of the season so far.
And to know they shot that entire funeral scene as one long, multicam take too. Exceptional!
@@Gezarie07 like one sequence? wow 👏 that scene is the best yet the saddest scene of the season so far.
1000% agree I was crying my eyes out on that scene, and then he reverts to his "usual" self. OUTSTANDING performance
If it is to be given then it should be given😂
I knew Jeff Bridges was the best person for anxious actors to be around when I heard Bill Hader talk about how Jeff gave him excellent advice backstage at SNL during one of Bill's worst anxiety attacks. But this roundtable just cemented Jeff's legendary mentor status for me. Great to see multiple generations of leading men together sharing feelings this way.
That must be why they placed Evan Peters right next to him :)
That's cool. What kind of advice?
As someone who suffers from anxiety, panic attacks, and is on antidepressants. Hearing these things really makes me feel better, if even people like Bill Hader gets anxiety attacks maybe I'm not a lost cause
@Quzga I find it comforting to hear Bill talk about his anxiety openly, too. I hope you get the help you need, and also maybe find more of Bill's interviews. He talks about a lot of ways he has found to be functional and anxious at the same time. 🥰 His enthusiastic laughter during any interview has also improved my life!
@@lb5368 Shows why it's so important that people are more open about mental health. When I first started getting panic attacks at like 15 I never told a soul and I had never heard of it before, so i felt super alone and insane. Now I can be more open with it and not feel like a crazy person.
This session was free therapy for Evan Peters and I'm so glad he was invited.
I love how real and insecure Pedro Pascal is. His characters always had a sense of relatability to them (especially, in my opinion, his character in the Last of Us) but it is so nice to see how relatable he his just playing himself. What a guy truly.
He is insecure....notice how he sits with his arms across his chest most of the time, none of the others do that. Makes you kind of want to pat him and say, it is going to ok!
I can't believe I'm getting Pedro and Evan in the same space. Thank you.
AND KIERNAN
awesome
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote: "Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law" ~ Immanuel Kant
AMEN
The thing about Kieran, beside the fact that he's just phenomenal as an actor, is he's always so engaged in these interviews and so clearly present. He's funny and insightful too and all of that together makes him really pleasant to watch.
I really admire Pedro for mentioning how roles can weigh on you. I think Evan really needs that conversation from someone like him
50:17 the lady says”you survived”& Evan let a breath out & knocks on wood,whether that’d be because he survived the role or being able to sit through the whole interview dealing what he dealt with...MY POOR BOY!been a fan of him since day 1,I really really really hope he’s doing ok!!! & look at Pedro looking at him in that exact moment being like you got it!
Pedro Pascal and Kieran Culkin acts like two children who gets a new bestie in the first day of kindergarten while there's Evan Peters. Loll love them all! Great Roundtable!
😂😂👍❤
Now I have to see Pedro and Kieran in the same project together 😂
And I'm gonna need alllll the bloopers 😂
Same but sounds like ingredients for chaos lol
Exactly. They put two amazing actors in a round table episode and expect not to want to see more of them together?
I've always liked Jeff Bridges but him asking Evan about something positive he got from his experience to help him in that moment ❤ He really is The Dude, man.
Whenever Jeff is on one of these roundtables i love the way the other guys look at him with such awe and respect and they're hanging on his every word. He's never full of himself and seems like he wants to learn from them as well. He's such a treasure.
Evan laughing at Jeff bridges like he is his crazy great uncle is the best bit
😂
💕
Time?
You can tell how much of an effect that role had on Evan. I love how open they all were with how much their roles can change them for certain points in their life.
Totally, you can clearly see it in the way he talks
Every role Ryan murphys made Evan do has had a toll on him one way or another. We need to give him more fun roles.
I want Jeff Bridges to mentor Evan in life… how to let go.. how to have fun and laugh well into old age. He seems heavy with life. Hope he is able to talk to someone and start the set of letting go whatever it is he’s holding onto.. in professional or personal life.
Yeah every time the camera cut to him things felt heavy. I thought maybe the Dahmer role lingered with him, but maybe it’s more, I’ve never watched his other interviews
@@nondescriptbeing5944It's definitely the subject matter, but also the fact he is quite socially anxious and shy especially with people he doesn't know. He is definitely more of a light hearted person when he is in the right setting 😊
I would LOOOOOVE to see an interview show hosted by Kieran, he is genuine and curious and a great sense of humor. And I really want to hug Evan Peters, he seems so traumatized and shocked... everything is going to be ok Evan, we love you
50:17 Pedro's little nod to Evan (who was clearly nervous) at the end was very sweet
Yes!! It was like "we did it. Breath" ❤
Just noticed they both took a deep breath in at the same time 😊
Yes, I love that! Pedro is most likely friends with Evan already. Pedro has AHS connections, since Sarah Paulson has been his best friend for over 2 decades and he's been seen hanging out with the AHS cast like Lily Rabe over the years.
And Evan "knocking on wood" during his deep breath, oh my goodness so much love and affection for him. I hope he does "light" work onstage soon!
@@MayLily I truly hope they can be or are already friends. They're both so wholesome :)
Pedro Pascal and Kieran Culkin, this is my multiverse of madness
Imagine this entire table in a Marvel movie together!
@@HeWhoLoMeins138 No. Please no more Marvel movies. They can rather be in something great together.
@@am_i_elliot Marvel movies are great and will continue to be made. Marvel forever.
Dream team.
A little bit of Scott Pilgram, a little bit of mando, gotta love it.
Evan Peters is so humble and such an incredibly talented actor. The Jeffrey Dahmer story was horrifying to watch but as a fan of his from AHS I pushed through and wow, what a well done series. They accomplished their goals. I saw in an interview earlier in his career that he loves comedy, but it seems AHS has put him in these dark disturbing roles again and again. I hope for his sake he gets to do some comedy and lighter stuff!
Yes, I also hope we get to see him in comedies soon. He's been saying since 2018 that he wants to do a romcom.
Have you seen him in pose!? A slightly lighter role (and Kate Mara from AHS is in it as his partner!) but I agree overall, I hope he gets some lighter parts ❤
Dude for real. After AHS Cult especially. Like I can only imagine how …what like 13 years now of almost exclusively darker roles? The toll that would take..
He would do well in a Horror Comedy or dark comedy.
yeah he had a light hearted comedy role for quick silver in xmen and he did great as him I hope he gets more roles like that and not dark roles
Evan Peters should have definitely gotten an award for that performance.
He did
It feels like Evan is unsure of himself here, but he's undoubtedly one of the best actors of his generation. I really hope he gets some work that's more fun soon.
he seems depressed:(
@@puciukutu noticed that too 😢😢
@@puciukutu or he's just introverted
Hopefully he has healthy relationships with his fellow actors and I'm sure actors have easy access to therapists.
I’ve “heard” he is generally a quiet guy.
Man...Pedro. Such a wonderful human being. At 14:37, the way he keeps looking at Evans after everyone else looks away, you can see in his face that he really cares.
I love how DADDY Pedro is just "so humble" and is not letting his '15 minutes of Fame' go to his head........this is "CLEARLY" seen by how he and Kieran dominated the conversation and kept interrupting Idris, Jeff and Evan, and wouldn't let them finish a thought.........you can tell both of those dudes are sooooo full of themselves. Kieran is definitely only a few steps away from his 1-note character in Succession and rehab, and Pedro is talking like his brief work in GOT somehow even comes close to Idris in Snowfall, Jeff in EVERYTHING, and Evan in Dahmer.......it was laughable seeing the "kids table" hog any serious discussion of acting.
@@slmeucalesa1 Jesus christ my guy, woke up on the bad side of the bed? Trolling? You do realize not everyone wants to talk as much, right?
@@slmeucalesa1 nice projection kiddo. Now go take your meds and go outside. Quit obsessing over famous people
@@slmeucalesa1 looks like your gf got a crush on either Kieran or Pedro huh
@@CptVein this isn’t even the first comment this person replied that too 😅
Seeing Evan just breaks my heart somehow, I hope he feels better and get to enjoy other lighter roles, what a great talent! Pedro, Pedro, Pedro....the most wholesome person, we need a lot of him!
Oh Jeff bridges. What a blessing he is. So much wisdom to share. And with such humility and humor
Evan Peters AND Pedro?!?! No wayyyyy😂💕💕
Pedro Pascal is always so refreshing to watch in interviews, glad he got to do the roundtable
I love how they all turned to Jeff to get his opinions. The respect was palpable.
I hope that Evan and Jeff stay in contact. Evan seems like he really looks up to Jeff and values his input.
I hope so too. I think they would have great chemistry. Both very grounded and genuine.
The humility and comradeship of older actors in a group of younger and newer actors is always beautiful and amazing to watch.

@@slmeucalesa1think you’re reading way too much into it haha
@@alfiegoff96 I disagree with them about Pedro, I think he was very sweet and lovely, but honestly Kieran gave me bad vibes. Maybe being in Succession affected him in a way? He seemed like he's better than everyone else.
@@kab9706 I think Kieran was just excited about being there and maybe a bit nervous.
@@amparonarbona5142 very much had the vibe of a Dad excited to be around and interact with adults and talk shop.

I think Evan is the youngest at the table.

When I see Evan I wanna cry, You can see how this role affected him. Protect this man at all costs. Edit: I cried
I just want Lacey Rose to know she is one of the best moderators/interviewers I’ve seen. She has a fresh energy and never demands attention for herself. She seems genuinely curious and isn’t overly pushy with her subjects. Keep it up Lacey, you’re doing the most fantastic job!
Agreed- she's way better than the male interviewers they used to use in this series, especially the British guy who would always interrupt everybody. She does a great job of facilitating the conversation and helping everybody feel comfortable.
Don't know why but hearing Evan talk so beautifully about Kate Winslet makes me so happy
Same. I've always loved her. The reader being her best role, for me anyway.
I like that he gave props to a leading actress even though the roundtable was about male actors.
I think he should work with a female director or story, perhaps something like barbie. Or I could totally see him in something like Miracle Workers or ted lasso.
I agree with Evan Peters: He really needs to be in more wholesome content. A Rom-Com where he plays a cute and awkward guy.
Evan has always been nervous doing interviews. Some interviews hes chill because hes comfortable around the people hes with. I am introverted so i totally get him. Either way he is an amazing actor and never seen him do a bad performance.
Can someone please give Evan Peters a hug? I've never seen the show, but I can only imagine the mental toll that role took on his wellbeing. It's very clear that playing that person has messed him up in some way. Someone put him in a comedy or something because he's such a great actor
Do not sleep on Damson Idris. His performance as the lead in Snowfall has been absolutely incredible. He’s an amazing actor.
He comes across as very smart and talented.
Love that show cant wait to see what he does next.
You'd struggle to find a Damson Idris comment in here. Such a shame because ppl are absolutely sleeping on him smh
@@franslam7398 The others are more experienced and people know them better. His time is coming. He is the youngest and least experienced of the group.
I was blown away by his performance, ge definitely made John Singleton proud
Jeff Bridges is such a positive and chill actor. His relaxed and amiable personality alongside his elder wisdom is very sweet to watch.
It just cements that nobody could play The Dude other than him. Such a rich soul
He's the Internet's grandpa
The Sopranos truly set the standard for a bunch of shows now. Such a legendary show. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but a beautifully crafted show.
Damn, you can see it all over Evan's face and in his eyes. That role took a toll on him. Hope he finds some catharsis from the experience.
They should have a permanent seat for Jeff Bridges at this table. He always keeps the conversation both moving and deep, with his personal legendary film history, courage to display vulnerability, never holds back what he truly thinks and believes, all with great respect of his colleagues and the host. The GOAT of THR roundtables for sure.
He's just a great human. I feel like people were talking over him a bit here which is unfortunate.
I feel like Evan also has social anxiety on top of the trauma from the series, i really hope he gets the help he needs
Yes, the constant face rubbing...
By nature I think he is more quiet and is not the spotlight loving type. Definitely not the “center of the room” type of person.
Evan Peters being the most quiet of this bunch is quite eye opening. Says a lot about him. Definitely doesn’t come across as a scene stealer.
Nope, he's very humble, which is so delightful. But he's also shy. So that's also part of the reason 😊 I remember him saying that someone once taught him that we should always listen more than we speak. Or something like that. Maybe he lives by that advice. It seems a wise thing to do, to listen more.
Which is ironic because any time he's in a scene with other actors, your eyes can't help but watch what he's doing.
I never knew Evan was so empathetic and sensitive!
Yes, I love that about him. And everyone who have met him describe him as very sweet ❤ He's such a talented and versatile actor, playing so many characters that are so different from who he really is.
bro this line up??? ABSOLUTELY WILD. Im watching every second of this! Kieran? Evan? Pedro? Damson? HOLYY 🔥🔥🔥 as a future screenwriter/director its my due diligence to watch this in entirety!
im loving this video for that reason, they all seem to click very well together, the give off the same vibe and they're all funny. gotta love these men :)
yes the lineup is something special!
Yall, Michael Imperioli, though!
@@themustar601 i haven't seen much of his work, im going to watch the Big Lebowski for the first time tonight!
@@AB-uq9rt yes!! Making me more sad then I should be hearing little from him, and seeing less about him in the comments! 😢
Great roundtable. It is evident how much the role affected Evan; and it is quite evident as well that the other actors kept thinking about what Evan went through
It’s like watching group therapy. So vulnerable, honest, and healing. ❤
I almost feel wrong for watching this because it feels more like therapy than an interview. It was beautifully human. 🖤
Damson Idris saying, "The body doesn't know you're pretending." 14:03 This is something I have discussed with friends about how very real a role can be and the attachment that comes with it. It can take you to a dark place. Wow. This was a great round table with truly amazing actors! Bravo!
he’s definitely very wise.
EXACTLY. It’s Mind Boggling How The Body Works.
I think about that all the time. I have bad anxiety and I was told that your body can’t differentiate between reality and what is going on in your head. All these imaginary scenarios I go through put my body into fight or flight. I can’t imagine actually acting out horrific scenes day after day and being fine afterwards
This is why trauma is so devastating. When you are triggered or have a flashback to a traumatic event, your body doesn't know that that same thing isn't actually happening NOW. It takes much self-awareness and effort and energy to bring yourself into the real, present moment and act/react accordingly. Read 'The Body Keeps the Score' by Bessel van Der Kolk
I love the way Jeff Bridges chose to lean into Evan Peters and have him find something positive from the Jeffrey Dahmer Story because you can so clearly see that man is still disturbed from having to play that character...
Evan is like the only dude who doesn’t want to talk but everyone wants him to (they bombarded him with questions in the first half).
I get the sense that he's much more of a listener than a talker, especially when in groups.
@@SviraSvihe’s actually a very charismatic guy, i seriously think Dahmer weighed down on him a lot, i mean he did a phenomenal job but playing someone that evil gotta really stick with u
I'm only here for Evan Peters. Show him your love. This guy's is incredible and very versatile.
Jeff Bridges is so adorable and comforting, I'm glad he was here with everyone
Me too!
Top 50 of all-time. A legend.
@@Kigoz4Life Now I really wish I'd seen that movie. It's a must for movie buffs I bet!
my thought exactly!
He's all love, man.
Kieran making Pedro laugh with "I'm a daddy and nobody likes my daddy parts" was great and now we never have to ask Pedro a daddy question again
I need Pedro and Kieran together in a buddy comedy like asap lol
Evan's acting is on another level of intensity which makes him one of the most mesmerising actors of his generation but also can affect him too much. Other actors clearly recognized it as well. When he said about giving 120% - i hope he will find a healthier balance towards his craft but keep the passion. Jeff and Evan as well as Pedro and Kerien had great dynamics but everyone was very supportive of each other.
Hi
I love that Kieran’s whole vibe in this is “I AM A FATHER” lol And it’s nice seeing Damson being included in this.
So happy to see Jeff bridges seem so full of life here and still kicking it after his health issues. Heartwarming to see
Michael Imperioli: the silent assassin. Observing and absorbing knowledge at all times, it would appear. Next 10 years could be huge for him. He seems right at, or near, where he wants to be, artistically. And cool as a cucumber among other artists. Well done, Spider!
I do wish she would have asked him more about White Lotus...it's like she just didn't want to disturb him or something
One thing I noticed is that when everyone else was speaking it was like a discussion with little interjections here and there but when Evan was talking they mostly just went silent and listened 🧐
Yeah! It's interesting. Maybe it's because the subject matter that Evan talks about is so dark and serious?
Yea you could tell that he still has some heavy stuff weighing on his heart
