    Will Smith 2016: "I just couldn't connect to violence being the answer, love had to be the answer." Us 2022: "well that was a fkin lie."
  • @filmkid20
    I love how Sam Jackson saw the Tarantino n-word and violence question setup and was simply like, “na man they’re just movies relax”.
  • @etimbieden6028
    i love how Benicio says "you don't have to agree with the character, you have to understand the character. That's what being an actor is". It kind of speaks about why Will turned down Django. He was trying to agree with a character without actually understanding the character and just being the vessel which is the "actor".
  • Will: Says no to Django because he doesn't believe violence solves anything. Also Will: Plays Deadshot in Suicide Squad.
  • @GastonBoykins
    everyone in the entire room is laughing jovially in response to a well told and insightful anecdote Stephen Galloway breaks in: "What has been the absolute worst moment in each of your lives? For instance, are all of your parents still alive?" ...ahem
  • @ljdoske2156
    Stop inserting another question that's not even related to the current topic, in the middle of the conversation! Let them finish first!
  • dude Del toro's acting is so smooth. It's effortless and it oozes from deep within.
  • @baligong3592
    Everything Will Smith said here Aged as well as Milk
  • I love when Sam Jackson said he just says yes to Tarintino and then Michael Caine says "That's how I am with Chris Nolan"
  • @jadelee6555
    Someone needs to tell Mark he's a celebrity too 😂 I swear everytime I see him with other actors/actresses he's always star struck LOL
  • @JHamid-qh1nx
    Why do I love seeing Benicio del Toro so much? I don't know the man but everytime I see him, I smile. Love seeing Mark Ruffalo as well.
  • @supahdweeb7613
    I still can’t believe Samuel L.Jackson is 70. He could pass up easily as early 40s.
  • @shyslayer
    Sam Jackson low key picking on Will Smith is hilarious.
  • @kohatenclave
    I have enjoyed Benicio's smile/ laughter throughout this interview lol
  • @aaronboleyn6748
    They should get Graham Norton to host these, he actually knows how to juggle multiple guests and let them talk.
  • You know what...? I quite enjoyed watching this... but felt at the end... what would've made this truly amazing... is... all of those actors together... without the hosts.
  • @zocava90
    This is what annoys me so much about Galloway: Michael Caine: “Alfred Hitchcock never spoke to me again” Galloway: “Will, what about you? He doesn’t grasp the weight of things that are said. You can hear the others react to things and and he just jumps on to the next person or question because he isn’t really interested in anything they are saying.
  • @faridvargas8881
    Smith: I’m hurt Jackson: I’m sick Del Toro: I understand the character
  • @wr6993
    I like Jackson’s reply: “It’s a movie, it’s not life.” Smith makes everything complicated when taking a role.
