Yeah that was a great movie. I'm an actor too and I thought he was awesome in "There will be blood" too. I mean dude went toe2toe with the GOAT Daniel Day-Lewis and his performance still stood out! Paul is Severely underrated. I'm looking forward to seeing "Swiss Army Man".
I'm 3 years late....but I was expecting that bit of "whine" in his voice his character in There Will Be Blood has.....goes to show you....he's good at what he does
+bunnyblurrz Paul strikes me as analytical, cerebral whereas Joe seems to thrive on his enthusiasm/motivation but in that different way they complement each other.
+Brendan Taylor I know! it's fascinating seeing them interact and complement each other. Even with the way they speak and understand things, totally different. :)
My two favourite actors! Joe the extrovert and Paul the introvert. Different personalities and they have different ways to approach in acting but they seem to get along and share some same values at the core. Love it
Paul Dano is super sweet, and his laugh/snort is the best. ha ha He is definitely different than some of the characters I've seen him play. lol Great actor. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is AWESOME. Freakin' love him. Great interview. I wish we got to hear a little more from them.
when i can't sleep, i tried a lot of things .... classical music, sounds of nature, chakra cleansing 🙃 blablabla ... but i'm so grateful to have found Paul. since then, i've just put in a long interview with him and i’m already asleep ... he has a sooo calm personality ❤
The first time I saw him was in “There Will Be Blood”, and I was mesmerized at his performance - which is really saying something, when you consider that Daniel Day Lewis was in the lead role. I remember thinking at the time that Dano was definitely going to be one of those actors who would be set apart from the “typical” crop of dramatic actors, one of those select few who don’t come along everyday... (I felt the same way about Phillip Seymour Hoffman, RIP). I liked the Love And Mercy movie “okay”... though I felt that the scenes where Dano portrayed the younger Brian were far better than the scenes set in later years with John Cusack portraying the older Brian. I think it would have been more interesting to use makeup effects to age Paul Dano, than to use a completely different actor to play the older Brian Wilson. IMHO.
Paul Dano is unforgettable. I can still remember the scene in Taking Lives, he was so innocent in the beginning and then boooom... I'm not going to tell what the scene is, if you havent seen it yet, go watch it.
Well, one of them is one of the best actors of his generation........ The other is a former child star from a 90s sitcom who is still desperately clinging on to any shred of relevance the industry might be willing to dangle in front of his eyes.
Paul Dano is a superb actor. He is amazing in Swiss army man and everything else I have seen him perform in. One of the best young guys in the business hands down.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of those celebrities who are down to earth and don't go off making unnecessary scandals like Brad Pitt, Justin Bieber, Eminem and Miley Cyrus
I love that despite Paul being far more reserved than Joseph, when he gets to talking about something he is passionate about, he just goes on and on, and you don’t want him to stop. His voice is so soothing.
These guys could be long lost brothers. They are different, but similar, and there is some sort of deep connection they hit here. Pretty rare I would say.
Two of the smartest and most creative young artists out there right now. I can see how people mistake them as pretentious, as both of them are really enthusiastic and interested in the art they are doing. But I think that is probably part of what makes them great actors.
So many similarities 1. Both were in Looper. 2. Both were in Batman movies. 3. Both have the best acting performances in indie films. 4. Both had their first child at 34.
joseph.. mysterious skin ... incredible actor. you tackle every roll you take on. they will never type cast such a brilliant performer. you are an old soul that breaths your previous lives into every character if there was only one word to describe you it would be authentic.
both are underrated in my opinion... they are both fascinating to watch and i enjoy their work. paul is so intense that he could easily hold his own with the legends of hollywood ... as for joseph he does a good mix of comedy and drama. i also enjoyed this tv work both as a kid and in recent years
Them talking about Gotham city little did they know Paul would be playing riddler in the Batman movie! He’s incredible hope he gets an Oscar one day totally deserved it
that bit about transcendence really interested me. lots of artists describe similar experiences when they produce their best work. The art comes from a place deep and far away.
It’s crazy how JGL thinks so highly of his own perspective that he constantly interrupts a far superior actor while he’s answering a question already asked.
All you gotta say is Sir Paul Dano is an extremely intense 'n' greaaaat Actor, he's not a Star nor just an actor... He's a perfect Artist!!! If anybody didn't watch 'Prisoners' I especially recommend please it's a must watch!!
Great pairing in my opinion. The characters they tend to portray both usually embody this really meticulous balance of naivety and ambition. You can't help but cheer them on while noting they may be biting off more than they can chew. Love it love it love it
Just realized Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan look so much alike! I mean i knew they kind of looked like siblings but i wasn't expecting to see so much similarity! #soulmates
They were in Looper together, Dano sadly didn't have the biggest part I would love to see them in a movie where both of them have main roles I think they would do great together
This was really interesting- it went to a different level than the usual stuff - I'm glad that they spoke about the the balance between the generic public buisness and how they feel about what they do ,it made them far more relateable as people.
Omfg!!! Two of my favorite human beings in earth! I mean wow! These 2 men are amazing, smart, articulate, amazing amazing actors, artists true to the craft!
Both of these guys R so gorgeous..& ea. amazing actors in their own right. Loved listening to them..both so intelligent & interesting 2 hear their comments on their own works..& ea others'. They're both going places in this life..& it's all positive, IMHO 🙂🙂☮☮✌✌💕💕

That man(Paul Dano) is going to get his Oscar someday! Mark my words!!
I said this to him and he was like you are way too nice. I literally died. I was like Dude you will get an AWARD. Fkg PRISONERS had me shaking.....
Yeah that was a great movie. I'm an actor too and I thought he was awesome in "There will be blood" too. I mean dude went toe2toe with the GOAT Daniel Day-Lewis and his performance still stood out!
Paul is Severely underrated. I'm looking forward to seeing "Swiss Army Man".
fruityxoxo1991 By the way, that's a cool story man. Wish I could meet him someday.
Totally agree, he is my favorite actor. He is amazing
yeah, all the movies I saw him in are great
Swiss army man and prisoners to note a few
Paul talks so smoothly and his voice is very pleasant to hear
agreed
+Obscenelollies yeah his voice is sorta interesting. its a smooth nasally tone.
Yes!
God I love it, gorgeous to listen too, I can't pinpoint exactly what it is but I could listen to this guy talk all night long.
Joanne Mcveigh He should record audiobooks
Robin having a conversation with the Riddler
I just knew someone would have made this comment by now lol
I see “Joe you have to hide me!”
lol I was about to comment the same thing
@@vikasbhat1732 ll lo l l
I was actually surprised when I heard Paul speak. He changes his voice a lot in films huh?
I'm 3 years late....but I was expecting that bit of "whine" in his voice his character in There Will Be Blood has.....goes to show you....he's good at what he does
He definitely sound like Jeff Bridges in that new Batman trailer HOLY SHIT! CHILLS!😳
@@I-speak-U-shut-it his character is using a voice changer
Paul Dano is so attractive to me and I can’t explain why
He’s soft
s o f t b o i
Yeah for me too,his eyes really intense and beautiful!😍
Because you have class
he looks like reviewbrahs much older brother who went to an ivy league, in the best way possible
Who would've thought Joseph Gordon Levitt was such a good interviewer and so well spoken
He interrupted Paul sometimes
@@tashW7092 it was about both of them though it wasn't actually just him interviewing Dano
@@khaotix7475 you are not reading my message properly. JGL interrupted Paul in multiple times and therefore it's rude and frustrating which I consider
@@tashW7092 we don't care, go cope and we're only here for Joseph Gordon-Levitt
@@AntiStraightMaleSociety u r weird
He’s gonna be a perfect Riddler 💚
He would have also made a great scarecrow
I really think he’s PERFECT to be Riddler, The way he changes his voice and delivers lines just gives me a great smarmy villain vibe
Saw trailer, can confirm lol
Update- he is the perfect Riddler
hi i came from the future, He is!!
Like Joaquin Phoenix, Paul Dano is on a long journey towards Oscar. It will come to him someday.
Sorry Eddie redmayne will snatch the Oscar from Paul
@@MuhammadIrfan-iu2ty Eddie has already won an Oscar.
@@pam0626one more like brad pitt
Even with the way they sit, you can see that both have really different personalities.
+bunnyblurrz yeah you see very well who's from NY and who's from L.A
+bunnyblurrz
'm from LA and I sit like Paul... wtf
+bunnyblurrz Paul strikes me as analytical, cerebral whereas Joe seems to thrive on his enthusiasm/motivation but in that different way they complement each other.
+Brendan Taylor I know! it's fascinating seeing them interact and complement each other. Even with the way they speak and understand things, totally different. :)
bunnyblurrz Watching the Jason Segel, Bryan Cranston one now which is very good. Cool series and format that Variety is doing here.
i didn’t know what paul dano actually sounded like until now; i had only ever heard him scream and get punched lol
LMAO
Joseph Gordon-Levitt should have a talk show.Works when he is the one asking the questions.
Aaron Tonks I feel like JGL could do anything, I would love if he hosted a talk show.
Aaron Tonks he has a show Hit Record on Netflix
+OneStop MediaShop Thanks for that! #JGL
My two favourite actors! Joe the extrovert and Paul the introvert. Different personalities and they have different ways to approach in acting but they seem to get along and share some same values at the core. Love it

Great interview. I wish we got to hear a little more from them.
Paul Dano is so awesome!! they way he talks he's such an inspiration, amazing actor! just speechless!!!
he is amazing
paul dano should play a bond villain
good call!!!
yasssssss
he's too nice for that! but good suggestion
+Queeniexx 2000 After watching There Will Be Blood, I reckon he could do it.
Miek van Mierlo yeah, as long as people recognise his offf camera kindness, OK!

that’s so cool I love his voice too very calm
Love Paul Dano. He makes such interesting choices, always keeping it fresh.
I absolutely love Paul Dano's utter sincerity 👏👏👏
JGL is a really good active listener
i was looking for a comment like this. I was gonna write it, if there wasn't.
The endless eye contact! but it's so soft and kind :O for both of them
H most of these actors on actors things the participants just kind of wait for their turn to speak. this one is an actual conversation
He seems baked.
I watched Love & Mercy. Paul Dano was absolutely amazing. I cried when he was singing God Only Knows, while playing it on the piano.
Sheena Jackson hello ms Quinn

Me too!
I like me some JGL but Paul Dano is fucking CLASSIC
I like how this interview didn't stick to the generic questions you see the other videos ask
Paul Dano is unforgettable. I can still remember the scene in Taking Lives, he was so innocent in the beginning and then boooom... I'm not going to tell what the scene is, if you havent seen it yet, go watch it.
you can tell levitt is a decent director, he listens and directs the conversation between Dano and himself
Paul Dano is gorgeous
these two guys are definitely some of the best actors of their generation
Well, one of them is one of the best actors of his generation........
The other is a former child star from a 90s sitcom who is still desperately clinging on to any shred of relevance the industry might be willing to dangle in front of his eyes.
i wish someone would look at me like JGL to Paul Dano.
Paul Dano is a superb actor. He is amazing in Swiss army man and everything else I have seen him perform in. One of the best young guys in the business hands down.
Such intelligent guys with a genuine respect for each other, really great interview
So much respect for Joe, he's such an incredibly talented man
I haven’t seen too many of his movies but he’s probably one of my favorite celebrities nonetheless. Seems like a really chill dude.
@@rohanimations which have you seen
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of those celebrities who are down to earth and don't go off making unnecessary scandals like Brad Pitt, Justin Bieber, Eminem and Miley Cyrus
2 of the most underrated actors.
Watch Paul Dano in Prisoners. He's stellar as always. :)
quite a transformation
I didn't recognize him
Fantastic movie, but my only critique is that his scenes get REALLY dark. I didn’t think they necessarily had to take it that far.
I love that despite Paul being far more reserved than Joseph, when he gets to talking about something he is passionate about, he just goes on and on, and you don’t want him to stop.
His voice is so soothing.
These guys could be long lost brothers. They are different, but similar, and there is some sort of deep connection they hit here. Pretty rare I would say.
Haven't seen Gordon-Levitt's performance yet, but Dano's absolutely blew me away. He was so immersed in his role.
I feel like paul dano would make a great joker, a completely new version for that matter
He would.
He probably gonna make the riddler look like jigsaw too!
Man that was a seriously good guess, considering that he's gonna be the Riddler 👍
@@AgentMTW how very right you were!
Two of the smartest and most creative young artists out there right now. I can see how people mistake them as pretentious, as both of them are really enthusiastic and interested in the art they are doing. But I think that is probably part of what makes them great actors.
Ugh paul dano is so frigging cute
you can see how much respect they have for each other, its clear why this video is the longest
I love dano's laugh at 21:14
Variety, please wrangle up more actors for more. Or do these every award season. They're so captivating!
These two actors are so talented and well spoken . Love them both. Paul is my favorite 🤩 actor of his generation.💕💕💕💕💕
So many similarities
1. Both were in Looper.
2. Both were in Batman movies.
3. Both have the best acting performances in indie films.
4. Both had their first child at 34.
What would you say is each best performance
I love how Paul praises Brian here like there's no tomorrow. A true fan!
He(paul) is very charming when he smiles. I'm going to laugh. His eyes appear to be jeweled.
joseph.. mysterious skin ... incredible actor. you tackle every roll you take on. they will never type cast such a brilliant performer. you are an old soul that breaths your previous lives into every character if there was only one word to describe you it would be authentic.

Two of my favorite actors. I truly hope and pray they'll work together on a project someday.
Paul Dano is a beautiful phenomenal actor for many years now...i hope he gets an oscar for his performance as riddler..just awesome work
I’ve been obsessed with both of them lately and I didn’t know they had an interview literally TOGETHER. This is such a coincidence lol
Them talking about Gotham city little did they know Paul would be playing riddler in the Batman movie! He’s incredible hope he gets an Oscar one day totally deserved it
Paul Dano is the man. Great, great actor.
I hope Paul Dano gets an oscar eventually, he has such great range
Robin and Riddler having a nice conversation.
I love Paul Dano so much
two of the most talented young actors today
+Travis Carroll Joseph is fucking 35 years old
that bit about transcendence really interested me. lots of artists describe similar experiences when they produce their best work. The art comes from a place deep and far away.
These two are winning the Oscars.
Amazing actors..
seeing two of my favorite actors in the same room makes me feel excited for some reason
they both have this kind of sweetness in their eyes
H they're clearly fans of one another
Paul Dano is a fantastic actor but I just gotta say, he’s a beautiful man.

When i first seen paul Dano i new theres an actor that aint going away and will put down some shit hot performaces.
These interviews are amazing! Loving it, thanks.
Great pairing in my opinion. The characters they tend to portray both usually embody this really meticulous balance of naivety and ambition. You can't help but cheer them on while noting they may be biting off more than they can chew. Love it love it love it
I love all of these "Actors on Actors" videos, very inspirational.
paul's voice...........
This is so refreshing.
Paul Dano seems like he doesn't unbuckle his belt and relax. He's way more serious than I thought he was.
Just realized Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan look so much alike! I mean i knew they kind of looked like siblings but i wasn't expecting to see so much similarity! #soulmates
I love the mention of the connection made between art, spirituality, sports. How each transcends toward connectedness.
In the beginning of the video Paul's saying all this deep shit and joe's just like "woah man"
They were in Looper together, Dano sadly didn't have the biggest part I would love to see them in a movie where both of them have main roles I think they would do great together
yes please!
Hide me Joe!
two of my all-time-favorite actors!!
its weird that they've both worked with Daniel Day Lewis
And together in looper
+Evan Feist The both co-starred with him in movies after the 90s! That’s crazy!
+Evan Feist both dated zooey deschanel on movies
Both slapped by him too. Lucky bastards...
***** Lincoln. Played his son.
10:43 a shy "oh yeah, cool, thanks"
This was really interesting- it went to a different level than the usual stuff - I'm glad that they spoke about the the balance between the generic public buisness and how they feel about what they do ,it made them far more relateable as people.
Paul Dano was very good playing the young Brian Wilso. I also saw him recently in LIttle Miss Sunshine playing the Troubled Brother.
he fucking killed it as the riddler, wow. just wow.
This is classic
paul dano is so prettyy, I love hearing him talk about his spiritual experiences
Two of the my favorite and two of the most underrated actor
Love how self aware they both are
Amazing insight over the music. Paul did amazing job as Brian Wilson
Just clicked on it to watch for a second. Didnt expect to stay for the whole thing but i did
That guy on the right is classic
These two in one movie right now!
+robertwill23 Looper, yo.
Omfg!!! Two of my favorite human beings in earth! I mean wow! These 2 men are amazing, smart, articulate, amazing amazing actors, artists true to the craft!
Paul Dano was excellent in Swiss Army Man and The Fabelmans!
Both of these guys R so gorgeous..& ea. amazing actors in their own right. Loved listening to them..both so intelligent & interesting 2 hear their comments on their own works..& ea others'. They're both going places in this life..& it's all positive, IMHO 🙂🙂☮☮✌✌💕💕
I just came
me too, beep bop. me too.
Joseph's mismatched socks :')
Consistency in volume over all of these great conversations would not go amiss.
Riddler and Robin (well almost Robin)
Or Nightwing, same difference really. I see Joe talking to Seth lol
Classic.
Joesph was in The Dark Knight Rises and Paul will be the mainvillain of The Batman 2021 (for now 2021)
Beach boys are great,one of my fav songs were Kokomo. Who wouldn't know these guys?
