Should’ve won an Oscar for chopper
Who needs yanks for their awards. Home grown talent with modesty and fucken common sense.
Joaquin Phoenix got it didn't he ?
I agree
DEFINITELY
@@BradCollier-zn2uc What?
Love watching Eric Bana in anything. probably because Poida was epic!
It’s not Poida it’s POIDA!
Yes and bring back Poida👍🇦🇺
Poida driving with Craig Lowndes was epic
@@ray.shoesmith Wow The magician!!! im speechless.....
Ray Martin was killer too.😂
One of the best Australian films ever and Eric’s best performance to date
💯
He was great in the castle not a big role but just him bring able to become a certain character %100 but ur right chopper really is a cult classic
@@bradpilton2820 kickboxing , 24 hours a day
Mark was a really sweet guy. He gave me great advice about caring for older cats. Met him many times. Not scary, just a kind soul.
I loved Eric in Troy he was powerful. Loved him in Blackhawk Down. He was chilling in Chopper, Munich & Hulk. I've loved him since Fast Forward & Full Frontal comedy shows on our Aussie TV. Proud of our Aussie Actor.
One of the best Australia has delivered
He shoulda had a much bigger role in black hawk down.
I reckon if he was known in the States before he was in Chopper, he would’ve won an Oscar for that performance.
Unfortunately no. They only give Oscar if you play a gay or disabled person
@@leighagnello7993they didn’t back then, he definitely would have won
@user-gu9yu4zy4c he definitely deserves one for his performance I agree.
I don't think Australian films qualify for Oscars anyway.
@@leighagnello7993 well they do qualify. Australian films have won awards at the Oscar’s but we don’t really do Oscar’s stuff as much cause we have our own film and television awards show. I can’t remember the name of it and I can’t be fucked looking it up 😂
@@user-gu9yu4zy4c The Logies?
Eric Bana. One of Australia's Finest actors
💯
John jarratt also deserves a mention..brilliant in wolf creek😊
Chopper is an Absolute Masterpiece! We love it in the UK
Eric Bana absolutely smashed that role! Fkn love that movie. He nailed it!!!!
Eric Bana, is a top top actor, a petrol head, and a fucking absolute spartan legend.
EB comes across as a really humble, regular, good guy. As I expected.
Hang around in Port Melbourne long enough and you'll run into him. He's a A1 good bloke.
Absolutely unaltered by fame. Damn rare thing. Legend.
Some tradies found his wallet or keys or something one time and he kinda hurriedly thanked them and left them to drive off. He came back a bit later to the work site with a case of beer and thanked them properly and hung out for a bit. Bloody top bloke.
Eric bana is the most underrated actor of all time
The 'underrated' comment was shelved in 2021. Please decist.
@@MikeD-hn9hf wow that means that the word underrated is underrated
Best Australian film ever made
Best casting
Best acting
Best screenplay
Best music
Best comedy
Best Eric Bana movie
Two Hands 🙌
I feel like Mark didn't know about Bana's Full Frontal/comedic roots. He's done impressions for years!
Lol yeh that's right, that show had its moments 😂
Poida!
He did a great Ray Martin too
Groovypants Gus FTW 💪🏻
i love eric. the castle is still one of the best movies about. and chopper was fukn excellent. who remembers the comedy comnpany?
Poida😆
Roit? Swoit!!
Eric wasn't in the Comedy Company...
@@jibbsey correct. He was in Full Frontal.
Watch Eric in a movie he made called the Beast, it's about his car and his childhood mates when they enter a Targa. It's the best and his leadership is so natural and unforced that all of his mates just fall in, in that classic Aussie 6th sense of just knowing who the boss is without a pedestal.
Loved that documentary
Called ' Love The Beast '
Great interview, Mark! Bana is an Aussie Gem! I'm currently reading your book, *RISE.* It's engrossing, unsympathetic, yet reignites the fire in the belly to pursue that neglected dream, regardless of how big or small it is.
Even Mark was impressed how Eric played him in the movie...I've watched the movie so many times and I have laugh my head off every time...Thanks Eric..cheers.
Mark said he hated the movie... Honestly I think it is one of the best movies ever made
Not true. chopper felt used!!! He Hated the process
The Dry, absolute killer acting!
100%. Whole show was fantastic - but Eric was bloody brilliant in that
Greatest Australian actor of all time😊
Wonderful actor indeed thank goodness he had time to prep for those wonderful roles.
Cheers for your work Eric, love your chops. ❤ That one in particular was intense.
On TV. Kickboxing. 24 hours a day.
Eric Banas acting in Chopper and Dirty John were stand out performances for sure
This was so good to watch! I was already a fan of Eric, but he spoke so well here, it was captivating!
Chopper is a great movie and when you have Eric bana portraying him that is the icing on the cake kind regards andrew smith
"Tell him he's dreaming" I swear that was my grandad😂😂😂😂
I watched Chopper years ago. It was good. Then yesterday I found it on streaming, and man oh man, even better the 2nd time. What a performance. I'm not used to much aussie slang so I enabled subtitles. Might watch again today lol. Easily in my top 25 movies I'd say. Chopper was a likeable sociopath lol.
Yeah I do think Chopper was Eric's greatest performance, he really owned that role and was completely convincing to the point it was easy to forget he wasn't actually Chopper. One of my all time fav movies, it is very raw and pulls no punches
100%
One Australian man we can all resonate with and be proud of... 🙌
Shame about most other "actors", pretend politicians and those claiming to never do any harm, who clearly sold their souls over the last few years.
I love the scene on the ship where he chastises Paris for bringing Helen. That is a beast warrior with a heart. Great hair too, lol.
Huuge fan Mark the most inspirational Aussie out.
Chopper is the best acting performance I have seen ,Oscar all day
Following keep up the good content
It was such an amazing experience watching Eric move from a very funny Aussie skit show comedian to a powerful international serious actor. It was a real wtf? moment. I can remember feeling an immense sense of pride to see a fellow Melbournian step up to, and beyond, the mark.
Eric deserved and should have gotten the new "Mad Max " role. That has pissed off me off still to this day.
Fury Road? Or another project?
he has to be one of Australia's best actors of my generation, from full frontal, black hawk down, Hanna or the Hulk love the man's transformation. His skill is amazing...
💯
Can’t unsee him as chopper now
Hey that was a cool movie mate, you played Chopper spot on👌👍
One of my favourite memories is of Eric doing an impression on me thatade my friends cry laughing. Truly one of the most talented artists I have had the pleasure of meeting.
Bana. The best
He was absolutely fantastic in Dear John!
Eric bana champion actor
Nailed it, simple 💯
He did Ray Martin too 😂
Dude. His Ray is LEGENDARY! Used to make me pee-laugh every time!
Some of the most iconic lines are in that movie that my mates and I still use one each other 🤣🤣. Eric Bana smashed it out of the park with Chopper.
100%
Eric = Legend
Poida
it was an excellent performance no doubt!!
Eric Bana what a great actor and a great soul 😊
This was a great open interview/episode. Listened on spotify.
It’s a shame Eric didn’t get more comedic roles in movies, he always ended up in the serious roles.
I'd say chopper was pretty funny
So weird i had the strangest urge to watch Chopper at 2am this morning, hands down best Aussie film to date and if you dont believe me ask joe rogan
Apparently it's Brad Pitts favourite movie also
Great Ders of history is still iconic!
Eric nailed it top 2 fav movie of all time
💯
TOP JOB MR BANA. 🎯👍
Who says crime doesn't pay aye Jimmy 😂
amazing human being and a crazy good actor!
Chopper reed is a cult classic favourite. For aussies it shud be in the category likes of pulp fiction. Movie is legendary funny
As a kid I loved his comedy on full frontal / fast forward.
Best actor out there!!
really good interviewing by the interviewer, nonetheless eric is a legend
Great actor
DIRTY JOHN 😮
Love your Work Eric Rockon
Dudes a goat
Mark, you're a great interviewer and you draw out some really interesting insights from Eric. On another note, your voice ( timbre, not the accent) really reminds me of Michael Douglas. Has anyone said that to you?
7:23 Display/depict/become a virtue (a character), make it who you are, let it marinate, meditate on it, connect to the vine, and display/depict/become the fruit (if you are not connected/marinating/meditating every day you are disconnected and the virtue will flow out as you revert to your old/fruitless/virtueless self (as you become chaff).
He nailed it
Without a doubt my favourite actor and just seems like a down to earth normal person to. Doesn't feel like another narcissistic Hollywood twat. Then not to mention the movie and character itself, just amazing.
What a carbon copy all in history the acting was superb. Spit!!
The Nugget.
I'm an audience member and I can tell ya I was sold
Eric Bana is thee best actor to come out of Australia
Heath Ledger is up there as well.
@@samredman8554 so right mate! totally forgot about him
Guy Pierce? Hugo Weaving? Ben Mendelsohn?
Hugh jackman
Errol Flynn, the original rat who formed the first Hollywood 'rat pack'. If he ever had a religion, it was hedonism.
It’s still like choppers talking 😂
AUSTRALIA loves you Eric ✌️
Hey Mark, (can't help myself sorry mate) we partied 'hard' at your 'Watsons Bay'? (South Head Syd) house in late 2000s. Had that pool cranked to max temp (winter) and shagged many many times in that 😁
Nice house mate, Redhotpie went hard 😉
The the pills and pepsi splashed around was all time 👍
(Ask about Dav and Rach from Temptation crew)
Excuse me....
I was working Security about 2008/2009 and a Taxi pulls up in front of the pub. Three guys get out and the first I see is Jacko, Mark "Jacko" Jackson. He was an Aussie Rules player and Media personality. He also did Energizer adverts. He comes up to me and asks, "Where are the f@cken tits in this town?!". I was on my own as the other boys were on the opposite end of the pub. Across the road was about three or four strip clubs and I knew the Doormen as our company ran the security for them. I said, "This way Jacko, coldest beer and hottest girls in town!". I took the group across the road and led to them to one of the Strip Clubs. As I introduced them to the Doorman, I noticed Chopper, ears, Tatts and all. I asked, "Are you Mister Mark Chopper Read?". Jacko laughed and said "Mister?". Chopper said "Yes.". I held out my hand and said, "Love your work!". He laughed and shook my hand. I said, "If the music gets too loud, come back to the pub and I'll buy you a beer.". Chopper said, "No worries.". About 4 hours later, I'm standing in the same spot with one of my offsiders and Jacko, Chopper and their mate come back to the Pub, drunk as f@ck. Chopper comes up to me, gives me a slap on the back and a hug and says, "Sorry I didn't come for the beer but next time I'm in town, I'll buy YOU a beer!". I said, "All good, Uncle Chop Chop, see you then.". They get in a taxi and drive off. My offsiders jaw is on the ground and he looks at me and says, "That was Chopper Read! Do you know Chopper?". I just shrugged, smiled and walked off. By the end of the week, everyone in the company was convinced I was friends with Chopper! True story.
Been a fan since poida, always been my favourite actor, i just watched the dry what an awesome movie
He did a great job as Hector
Agreed
Jeez Mark just ask the question
Eric Banner Full Frontal!!
The Dry is also a very good film.
Eric Bana , OG "The Beast", Eddie Hall is just posing.
Erica Bana was the perfect Chopper
2 top blokes 👍
Only bad movie he ever made was Hulk. Other than that, his skill as an actor is amazing.
Long live Poida !!
Top 10 in the world- Munich was epic
BEST AUSSIE ACTER❤
Hands up who wanted to see Hector drop Troy (Brad Pitt) ? I know I did.
ha ha
He could play Grant Cardone in a few years when Grant goes down for fraud and weird relationship with Scientology
Poida and I would love to see a love the beast 2 come out it would be so sweet sweet
Full frontal crew

Poider
Naaah, POIDA!
