Yeah, I agree. He always seems to have his guard up (understandably so) but here he seems very comfortable, maybe because he knows Antonio for a while (not sure if they were every in the recording studio together for the Shrek movies though).
Check out the Netflix interview of the cast from Dolemite is My Name. He's very relaxed and extremely humble in that when the rest of the cast keep praising him.
@@ginnywhat5777 Well that was Rudy Ray Moore's material. I grew up on his albums and films. He wasn't for everyone. My dad had all his albums and movies. So being an 80s baby, I used to watch and listen to all the old stuff.
I agree. I can't tell you how many times my family watched Eddy Murphy and Nick Nolte in "48 Hours" when I was a kid because it was one movie which my Dad never got tired of watching over and over on our VCR. I loved "Dolemite" and I would definitely watch it again. I am also interested in watching the documentary on Dolemite. Murphy did an amazing job and I also respect that he didn't touch the sexuality "issue" as it really is no one else's business anyhow. Moreover, It would have made it into a much more serious film than intended. The message was that if you believe in something or, in this case, yourself and work hard, you can make your dreams a reality. Rudy, like Eddie, just wanted to entertain and make people laugh. The other motivation for him was to prove that he was somebody (because his father did not believe he would amount to anything). That shows depth and human understanding, so whoever wrote that did a great job in my opinion. That guy was willing to go broke and bet everything on himself. He endured harsh criticism and rejection but also gained people's love and respect in the end. It was a beautiful portrayal.
Casting Banderas as a bad guy, assasin or a psychopath was always a genious touch, as the way he speaks sounds gentle and sweet, and that can be so twisted when underneath he's some savage monster on the loose.
This was a home run interview between these two amazing amazing actors and gentlemen, I can understand if they both came out of this with something positive about each of themselves.
Short intro for people who only know Antonio Banderas from 'Shrek' and "Spy Kids": Start with "Desperado", the film that really made him famous in America. "The Mask of Zorro" "The Thirteenth Warrior" If you want to see Banderas carry a film by himself, in spite of the problems with scripts, etc., See: "Automata".
I just watched "Desperado" again yesterday. He's always been a favorite. I like this format with actors interviewing another actor. And to have pairings of performers that have had such different types of careers is a great touch.
I’m painting a galaxy while listening to this. Lowkey, zoned out and in my mind I’m picturing Puss in Boot and Donkey having a serious conversation, and then when I ran out of paint and snapped out of my imagination. I just noticed how much these guys were part of my childhood. Thank you😻 (btw I’m 22 and they still got me thinking about the Shrek series lol)
Thank you for this. I enjoyed it. These two actors need to be in another movie together. Not as voice overs for some animated character. But two actual characters playing a role that no one would have expected from them. Crossing my fingers and hoping it comes true. Again, this was great. They both look great.
Maybe Eddie and Antonio should do a buddy/action/comedy movie like 48 HRS./Lethal Weapon/The Last Boy Scout/Bad Boys/Rush Hour it could be really cool both Eddie and Antonio are good at action movies.
c keesee, he only lived the end of the dictatorship. When Spain was in transition and opening for democracy. He is the son of a police officer so he was “safe”. Antonio even mention in another interview that once he was arrested with his friends while performing a theatre play by the police due to “political” content. But because his father was a police officer he and his friends got released and didn’t have to spend the night in jail. So I don’t think that he was traumatized by the regime.
Not only were they both Shrek characters, they both portrayed ancient vampire lords, Armand from Interview with the Vampire, and Maximilian from Vampire in Brooklyn. I had to point that out if no one else did.
After playing the role of James Early in "Dreamgirls", I wondered why Murphy didn't take on more serious roles/characters. He kept returning to silly sh-t like Norbit. Now I understand that he's uncomfortable tapping into his feelings or personal experiences that may be needed when playing a dramatic role.
Me as well. We've known Eddie as a comedian all his life but to see this other artistic side of him is very refreshing! Its very funny to think otherwise. Its interesting how we sometimes see comedy separate from drama but we need to think of a ying&yang between both of them.
Shout out to PANCHO VILLA ! I accidentally walked straight into Mr. Banderas back in 2003/ 4 ? at the movie premiere in NYC. I'd only gone to the cinema to check what was playing that evening. When I got back to the hotel and told my sister I'd bumped into Mr. Banderas she was so jealous ha ha
Oh hell to the YES! Two of my faves ever! I mean puss n boot's and donkey in the house!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this one, great stuff. Thank you gentlemen
So is Jason momoa with Peter dinklege. Which I think it would funny seeing momoa a pink loving funny guy and Peter a straight edge suit and tie type. Petered dead pan its so good and after seeing momoa on snl and interviews.. I think he can pull off comedy. I'd luce for Eddie to be involved with it too. I've been hoping he'd come back to comedy. I missed his type of comedy.
This was so much better than I expected, though I'm not quite sure what I was expecting, if that makes any sense. So interesting to find out about the arts in Spain during the Franco years.
Eddie is great in Dolemite and both of these actors should be firmly in the Oscar nomination zone. Pain & Glory is first and foremost about the friendship between Almodovar and Banderas - both of whom have given their friend perhaps their career best work. That's the glory of it, I guess.
It's so hard for Eddie to open up, it takes Antonio Banderas to make him feel safe and still barely cracking the door to his feelings. I know after Dreamgirls it was a low blow but it's not Oscars matters it's the audience and people that count the most.I hope he knows that or have learned by now. I liked j I'm as a comedian but when I saw that movie and him as a crack addict producer , oh my, it's like I saw a completely different person that has this well of depth that was never opened for decades. For once he let himself completely go and IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, it was real acting artwork! He should really forget about the accolades, and do the real roles that give him joy and open him as an actor! Comedy is great but a lot of times it's a safe choice and you know safe doesn't cut I t for meaningful movies that last for decades. We only live once.)
Variety going off with these pairings.
for real though!
Shrek!
Daniel Day Lewis and Britney Spears 😂
nycion x where did she go? Never heard from her since like scream and shout!
They absolutely nailed it
This is the most relaxed I've seen Eddie Murphy since his resurgence. Seems like he's really enjoying this.
Yeah, I agree. He always seems to have his guard up (understandably so) but here he seems very comfortable, maybe because he knows Antonio for a while (not sure if they were every in the recording studio together for the Shrek movies though).
well, I guess not 21:10. Would love to see them both together in a live action movie. They have very good chemistry.

Cultural people have this naturally.😎
It's like Donkey and Puss drank one of the Fairy Godmother's potions and turned into humans and then they became actors.
This comment 😂😂😂
😆
You have such a great fantasy!
Well played 😂😂
Nehir Akın 😂😂😂☺️
Variety is on FIRE, holy shit, keep them coming.
this is the most intelligent conversation between actors have ever seen
Absoluuuuutely love how they are both exchanging background/history information from both their countries and artistic heroes!! Beautiful!
That was my favorite part, the cultural exchange.
This is like one of the rare times where eddie actually shares a lot about himself. Iv never seen an interview where he is this open. Good job!
First time Eddie looked like he wanted to be there in a while....
Lost Thoughts I noticed that. He was even interested
I think he gets tired of people being star struck and drooling over him in the interviews
How fine are these two gentlemen? They got the memo: Dress sharp with shoes shined. Represent.
I'm inclined to agree 👍
Loving these Actors On Actors pairings
i agree... but reading the negative comments make me angry...
The combination that no one thought they wanted yet everyone needed.
They're puss and donkey
Puss and Donkey.
There is a raw sincerity in this conversation that it is amazing.
I could listen to Antonio Banderas speak, forever. He could read the phone book, and I'd listen.
Jajaja...Agree!
💯💯
His voice is so soothing and nice to listen to…
I love that as Eddie Murphy does more interviews, he looks more and more comfortable and natural. It's great to see.
"Dolemite Is My Name" is the most rewatchable movie of the year. Sometimes that's better than being the "best".
I agree. I can't tell you how many times my family watched Eddy Murphy and Nick Nolte in "48 Hours" when I was a kid because it was one movie which my Dad never got tired of watching over and over on our VCR.

This is a great talk. Their respect for one another and their craft really comes through.
Antonio Banderas is an under-appreciated actor.

yes
Short intro for people who only know Antonio Banderas from 'Shrek' and "Spy Kids":

The Knave The Skin I Live In. One of his best films and a great film in itself. Just turn on the subs.
Good comment. You missed out the Assassin with Sylvester Stallone
... Assassins with Sylvester Stallone... But my favourite will always be The thirteenth warrior
Once upon a time in Mexico as well
😃 😃 U really know too much.
I just watched "Desperado" again yesterday. He's always been a favorite. I like this format with actors interviewing another actor. And to have pairings of performers that have had such different types of careers is a great touch.
I love how open and vulnerable Eddie is in this video!
I noticed that. He seems content.
That was a riveting 25 minutes.. My admiration for both of them shot off into the stratosphere. Murphy referencing Alejandro Jodorowsky blew my mind.
You don't get to be one of the greatest comedians (if not arguably the greatest) without being smart and doing your homework.
@@tochiRTA Good point.
I liked when Antonio said "It's very hard to be a prophet in your own land" but Eddie thought he said profitable lmao
Well in a way it's the same thing.
Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop is pure comedy Gold!
Hear that they going for part 4
@@josephrodriguez272 That would be good. Must watch
Netflix picked up Beverly Hills Cop 4
state the fucking obvious why don't you
My favorite comedian E M is the best it would be so much fun if M Jackson was alive Eddie would crack him up
People forget that he was very good in Dreamgirls.
Nobody forgot
@@CharlieGoldDirector no some did..just like people forget he was Mushu in Mulan before he was Donkey.
Yep. And was robbed of the Oscar!
I never get tried of Antonio’s voice 😊😊
This keeps getting better and better. Thank you, Variety
Eddie is one of the all time greats. No argument.
I’m painting a galaxy while listening to this. Lowkey, zoned out and in my mind I’m picturing Puss in Boot and Donkey having a serious conversation, and then when I ran out of paint and snapped out of my imagination.

God damn. I been watching Eddie Murphy since the 80’s and he hardly aged.
When Legendary Cool(Antonio) sits down with Legendary Funny(Eddie).....you get a Legendary exchange. Boss move Variety
"Dolemite is my name" is hands down one of the best movies of 2019 in my book!
king popmj hi moonwalker 😊

@@antoniochapman3986 They already are: Donkey and Puss in Boots
It’s crazy that Antonio lived during and through the Franco dictatorship. I can only imagine how that influenced his life and career.
c keesee, he only lived the end of the dictatorship. When Spain was in transition and opening for democracy. He is the son of a police officer so he was “safe”.
Antonio even mention in another interview that once he was arrested with his friends while performing a theatre play by the police due to “political” content. But because his father was a police officer he and his friends got released and didn’t have to spend the night in jail.

Two masters in conversation. INCREDIBLE
This two guys together is something you don't see every day. Great job.
Eddie & Wesley onscreen together in DiMN! That's just, wow. That's so awesome!
I'd love for them to be in a movie together again.
Shrek fool

And both are referencing movies in which they portrayed real people.

Antonio seems a really nice guy. Humble and wise.
He's a really good actor.
And he was super handsome in the 90's, by the way.
Anjelica M
Handsome charismatic and cool dude !
But I can’t him never forgive Philips ❗️😂😂😂❗️
Neeeeveeer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta love Eddie man I'm considered old now at 40 and this guys been around since I was a tiny kid, Always loved his films
This great to see to people with different backgrounds who careers and ideas are alike.

Now I understand that he's uncomfortable tapping into his feelings or personal experiences that may be needed when playing a dramatic role.
It’s a shame bc he’s a fantastic actor. When u see glimpses of his depth in some of his more serious roles it’s truly moving.
Imagine if he leaned into it and subsequently knocked everyone’s socks off….!
Hey it's Donkey and Puss in Boots reunion! Man I love Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas. Both are really great actors.
What a fucking wonderful combination and conversation
2 Amazing People!!!💜💜💜
Eddie Is a Legend, He has created some of the greatest movies of all time!!🔥🔥💯💜
Wow - what a great look at who these men are - so great, love them both!
Wow. I'm impressed Eddie Murphy has watched Jodorowsky movies, let alone Fellini movies!!

@@SoWhosGae Yeah, but given the type of movies he does compared to the type of movies Jodorowsky made...
Boudosaved you sound narrow minded.

Is good to see Eddie back 💪
Excellent dialogue between two talented souls.
Eddie looks GREAT here!
I love those two they are my childhood
Love this conversation.

These two are the same age and Eddie's the one who looks like he hasn't aged in a day.
I thought I would check some parts of the interview, but I ended up listening to all of it. It was very interesting and educative.

Didn't know Antonio had a heart attack ...hope he's doing well, now.
Thanks for your love and wonderful comment... I'm doing fine now!!!!where are you commenting from?
Two of my favorite actors/entertainers..
This is how i remmember these two,That's the mask of zore and The prince of Zammunda
Antonio in black butterfly is amazing
I think Eddie found the Fountain of Youth.

Banderas has a Hopkinsesque about him. He's gonna land a JUICY role that truly lives up to his potential
Me encanto la entrevista! SALUDOS desde Neuquen Argentina!
Muchas gracias 🙏💕Por fin un comentario en Español, ya pensaba que no lo iba a encontrar😲 Gracias por existir y pasar por aquí 😉🤗
