i love the way christoph talks, i could listen to this guy for hours..
Saaaame
yep. He doesn´t interrupt.Is well prepared, no dumbass Question or Celebrity admire shit !
@@beakittelscherz5419 because you shelter the ennemys of the state, aren't you?
I feel smarter just listening to this guy
I gotta say, I am pretty impressed. I wasnt aware Hans Landa could act like this. His interpretation of a normal person is so flawless. Seems like things went ok for him in the States after the war.
Lol
Hes just there to find out whos hiding under that couch.
I got the impression from Hans Landa that he didn't hate people, he enjoyed them, he played with them, but he was all to willing to destroy his playthings when he was finished with them.
+youngoldbones He said in the movie that he was a detective in Austria. And i agree, i think he wasn't that bad. Out of that context i think he would've been a fun person to hang out with.
"Finding people is my specialty, so naturally i work for the Nazis finding people, and yes...some of them were Jews". Said very lightly, like he doesn't even care, he just does what he's good at.
+MrSatanochio oh no, he was bad, make no mistake, he was very bad.
+joker Darker talking about the character, not the actor.
+Greg111076 Oh, yeah, he was bad. But i forgot to mention that he would be a fun person to hang out with if you're not a jew. Especially that.
+MrSatanochio Landa was a psychopath, everybody is a potential victim, just as was the case in the film. He didn't hate Jews, he simply enjoyed impunity for any acts he committed against them. They were a useful release valve for his sadistic tendencies. To hang out with a psychopath is a precarious pastime, psychopaths divide the world into just two categories. In Landas case that would be himself, and then there's everyone else. If he can come by gain or cover a crime by harming or killing you, then you won't be enjoying any lasting friendship, and why enjoy such a persons company? Sadism by Proxy? Or would you check out before any violence takes place? See this is the problem with movies, we're removed from real world violence and the pain and the grief that result from such actions. I remember as a kid when gun smoke was called out for gun violence (the morality of the violence was never ambiguous, nor did it elevate those who did evil) today though, killers are respected, weird.
why can't everyone be as well spoken as he is
IKR? English isn't even his first language, yet he sounds better than most native speakers!
Hurtado Raffo Tito that's what I noticed! I'm jealous of his ability to manipulate language, especially that which is secondary!
Me too
I have been English for my 75 years. I can speak French, Spanish, a bit of Russian and Swedish, just a little bit of German, but this man speaks English better than most English people I've ever met.
I hope you're including yourself in that lol
Its great that the interviewer and the actor listen to each other and give each other time to answer. A really enjoyable
interview.
I just discovered him last night in No Time to Die. He is delightful!
He's so cultured--I love listening to him speak! His performance in Inglourious Basterds was superb. The movie was marvelous. I must rewatch it.
One of the best performances in acting history. Terrific character!
I really want Waltz & Gary Oldman to be in a movie together
did you see Ameowdeus? xD
That would be awesome.
Waltz and Daniel Day Lewis
A Hans Landa and Lord Shen interaction would be insane
I absolutely adore this man. Everything he does amazes me. A true idol in my eyes!
He's so debonair, charming, articulate and suave. He's like a modern Laurence Olivier.
01:52 - A Windows XP error can be heard in the background lol
+MegaBojan1993 I laughed so hard
-Did you come to LA and make an effort to become a hollywood actor?
-I did at one point ummm........ ERROR
Microsoft making fun of him...
***** He made an erroneus point :)
The fact that you pointed that out is funny as shit
I love how Waltz gets so comfortable in this interview. Asking about film history and such.
I love the relaxed vibe of the format of the interviews on this channel.
I have a feeling in django unchained he wasn't acting. but reacting to what the other characters were doing haha. his acting seems so real
The accent really helped him i think. And having English as a second language. It created a fully genuine split-second delay after and before every line. He has to think about the words more carefully
@@trequor thats an interesting observation
@Alex Capwell What do you mean by "elevated speech"
Many actors has said that the art of action is listening and then reacting.
You could make an argument that he did the exact same thing in Inglorious Basterds. He interacted with the other characters and allowed them to either defeat themselves or not.
"Playing funny isn't funny, and boring at best."
Such a good quote.
And he played in django hell of a actor .has so much style and charisma that can't matched
Stop saying the interviewer sucks. This is what an unedited interview is like, awkward pauses and misunderstandings and whatnot, that just goes with the territory of having a forced chat with someone. I happen to think the interviewer is quite good.
+dogburndan It's incredible that so many people doesn't get this.
It's much closer to reality and is therefore messier
So do I 👌🏼
How is it possible not to love this man? Brilliant actor, amzaing man.
Man this guy can act. He is so believable no matter the role. A total joy to watch him in action. He has honed his craft.
This man is a fucking CHARISMA FACTORY!!
Absolutely!!!
Idd
Yess!
I'm so glad he was introduced to American film industry. I've gone back to watch his previous work, and realized we watched the movie Kopfstand in my high school German class ten years ago. He's enchanting to watch.
It’s such a cool story, huh? I also love that he’s appreciative towards Quentin and I also think it’s so freakin cool that he’s the only actor that Quentin has gotten an Oscar and he did it twice. They needed each other!
"When u start to like it, you lose the process". Great point for any art form. Painting, writing, and so on
Christoph Waltz could read mathematic books and I would listen to him! :D
What a great actor! He is awesome!
I know him from German movies and always felt he was underrated and needed bigger roles. But they did not give him that chance until Tarantino helped him.
Schimanski 😂
That’s their loss Deutsche Fernsehen 😢🇬🇧😆
Best actor!
He is bloody brilliant
You can tell this man is very educated. Great actor. If I were a producer I'd hire him in a heart beat!!!! He's got a classic type appeal!!!
Typical European Renaissance man.
He looks like a sexy version of Steve Carrell
Fabian waaay sexier
Exactly!!
I can't unsee it now :D
god he's brilliant
he's actually pretty good looking for his age!
Stannis The Mannis he is at ANY age!
“Overnight success after thirty-something years.” Don’t quit something you are passionate about just because you are not “succeeding” in it. Most of the people you look up to have years of work behind them that you can’t really see.
DP 30, you do a terrific work. Top shelf interview.
If Christoph Waltz wandered into my house whilst typing this I would definitely offer him a glass of delicious milk 🙂
This comment deserves heaps of likes!
And some strudel with whipped cream!
Une verre de lait
Seems like he loves his roles more than the interviews. More acting, less talking.
Fantastic interview with a brilliant and incredibly talented man. He was by far the best part of Django Unchained.
i have the biggest crush on this man omfg
His Voice 🥰 He is so Handsome 😍❤
He is so handsome!!!
Such an elegant, talented man. What a rarity in Hollywood. I find it interesting and would love to be able to ask him if it's in his nature as an Austrian to understand the concept of a director and do as written rather than the actors we sometimes have who seem to be more concerned with their own image than what the director's overall view of the production is. It's a different point of view coming from a european background vs an American one, it seems.
I've been in Austria one year, and I have to say, that everybody in Austria is as polite and at the same moment shy and intimidated as Christoph. I don't know why is that, and it took some time to discover that, but it is great to know, that not only mr Waltz thinks the way he thinks.
And sorry for my English.:D
Such a wonderful characteristic to have. Soooo absolutely rare in America anymore. I am such an old soul in such an image-obsessed world here....no wonder I'm still single and extremely picky heading into my mid 30's 😒 Lol
He's truly the living embodiment of 'a renaissance man'
Fiercely intelligent, dedicated to and brilliant at his craft, eloquent, erudite, highly educated, urbane yet humble, open, self effacing and witty.
A pleasure to watch on screen and a pleasure to merely listen to in a casual setting such as this.
I know it's quite a while ago when you made your comment, but maybe you are still interested and maybe it's still news to you: Christoph did work as a director in different European opera houses (Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria). He was born into a theater & opera family, that might be the reason why he always had a wider perspective on acting.
Waltz ist der beste. und sein englisch fluent.das macht richtig laune da zuzuhören!
I don't understand how he didn't become well known sooner. The dude's a fucking great actor.
It's great to see how deep Mr. Waltz dived into such a character as Hans Landa by understanding a German Spy character. I am sure it took a lot of time for him to undergo a tough and Cynical character like Hans Landa. Salute for your immaculate performance.
Oh my God. He looks so good and so young. I can't believe that he is over 50 years old on this video !
christoph is completely right about deadpan comedy, its the best form of comedy because it's not playing funny its being funny, being naturally entertaining and not forcing a laugh out of an audience. it's so easy for played out comedy to be cringy and turn sour. Deadpan is so much more genuine and cool honestly.
Incredible interview. First time I saw mr. Waltz being so expressive and talkative.
Such a brilliant man, love his work, he's so good.
Never saw such a handsome man like this before. I saw just 2 movies, inglorious bastards and DJango. I was hooked! I never saw any of his German shows sadly. I love his accent. Although I have to say he was so good I saw him as a real nazi for a second there and wow! Idk maybe it was the handsome uniform, his voice is so suductive, misspelled, I love him stumbling over the English words. He's so human. And humble. For a German i was brought up to hate germans (dad fought nazis.) But I have changed my mind because of this man. I know now the war is long over, and after watching this interview I see the real Christoph, and man he's a fantastic, the best!!! Actor!!!! He never stumbles in the movies. He's that good. Of course I'm in love with him. I'm 62, older than him, but I love him.DJango movie did that. He looks great in a beard, and I hate beards! He's everything i was taught to hate, and I refuse to hate him EVER! I love him, hopelessly. I haven't had a man in 25 years! I'm so lonely, but seeing him everytime I think I could marry him arranged marriage and be happy! But alas we covet what we see closest to us. TV and movies have given us a wide range of stars to covet, but alas! They are indeed untouchable. He's very private I heard. I kinda missed half the interview, no captions and I am very hearing impaired, even with professional speaker to my ear I can hear him and love that voice! I'll die alone, but in my dreams I have my many loves from TV and movies. Christoph has shook me up inside and I never loved anyone, but I sadly do love him and he's not mine to love. That's a problem with seeing only movies and TV, I have no one else! My neighbors all speak Spanish. I'd prefer it to be German but alas not a German neighborhood anymore. First black moves in all our German neighbors ran away fast! I was left with only African men to choose from so no, I haven't dated. I'm not prejudice per say, my kid is half black. Of course he left me alone with the baby. I was just to shy around white men. I probably would be tongue tied if I met Christoph!!! I want to hug him so bad. Love him! But Hollywood has created a slew of actors we all fall for. Well, I fell for him. I know he would never date me or love me, He's a star now! I always had bad luck finding a good man. I just didn't know what to do. I was a virgin til I was 23! And I screwed that up. No white wedding now for me. I felt ruined. All I have are my fantasies. Sad but true. Real regular men just don't hold my interest. It's sad. My life is almost over. I'm young at heart but going on social security and about to try to live on 400$ a month. I'm terrified. I think actors when they get old like Christoph are blessed! Handsome, in demand, and I don't know where my next meal will come from. Sorry, it's sad but true. I am a joke and a waste of space. I will always love Christoph but I also will truly be alone. That hurts. Dreams are my only happiness. Dreams of Christoph.
You realize he's Austrian?
@@ksref yes I googled it and the official language of Austria is German. That's why he has a German accent. But he speaks 4 languages, All fluently.
Christoph bi like i sooryi culdant resist...
he is a very clever and smart man. sure he is.
Brilliant dude. Many thanks to Quentin for letting the rest of us in.
Sorry it hurt so much, Mulan. The format is conversational. Not for everyone. Be well.
So much hate for the interviewer in the comments! Why? Guess, some fans are just overprotective of their idol, no matter if he is in any way threatened or offended. I really enjoy this channel. David's interviewing style is perfect for creating interesting relaxed conversations. And he continually demonstrates deep knowledge and love for cinema. This interview is no exception.
If there are a few comments about the interviewer, it must land as such. I immediately got the impression that Waltz wasn't appeased by this interviewer, and felt he was simply wasting Waltz's time. This interviewer either had a bad day, or is simply bad at his trade
@@ChuckBastie i dont see it man he seems quite comfortable with it.
@@ChuckBastiehorrible take. The smile that forms on his face when the interviewer notes on Landa's character being a cat with mice, and Waltz being gracious enough to call him as being more knowledgeable abt cinema history than he, etc. Lol. You were projecting, I hope you've changed your mind.
Lovely interview. Really highlights the many varied and thought out facets of this marvelous actor. Here he is anything but brash, even when blunt. Thoughtfulness, consideration. Listening and then telling his truth, while never becoming declarative. I love when an interview enhances my respect for an actor.....or anyone, and this one did!
Christoph Waltz needs to be in Roman or Greek war movie like Troy. This need to freakin happen.
Unlike any interviewer when they interupt him and talk to much, ask question but never really wanna hear the answer. They dont understand he is very intelligent and chooses his words carefully to describe the answer best. This is one of those rare interview where Waltz so relaxeled and able to talk alot.
Thank you for the interviewer👍
Waltz is enchanting btw, i never thought i'd fall for someone his age.
I disagree with the people who think this interview was stilted, I got the impression that Waltz is quite a serious person who takes a bit of time to warm up, by two-thirds through there's clearly a good rapport.
This guy needs to play as a Bond villain...
He did that 😉
i'm so glad i'm finding all these videos now. This guy is a great interviewer. Top notch.
Not to take away from what Christoph is talking about, I am floored by the the vastness of his vocabulary and his command of the English language which is not his mother tongue... Surely he does the same with the other languages he knows...
I really love his voice! It's captivating.
I'm sure it's appropriate for many actors but for an actor of such staggering talent to not get the recognition his talent deserves for 30 years is a crime. He is a joy to watch in every single scene I've seen him in.
Yeah,but Austria isnt Hollywood. At best,its a bit of a motion-picture backwater. Without Google,can you even name one film from Austria,or,other than Waltz,2 actors? I know i cant
Christoph won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for both Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained. 2 Oscars in 4 years.
Great interviewer, really gives Mr. Waltz a chance to talk about his art. Thanks for posting!
This man could read me a molecular biology textbook, and I'd be completely entertained.
He did an amazing job of playing the part
Christoph you are a great actor ! You took your opportunity and you nailed it !!
Its nice to see revered actors having a relaxed conversation with a down to earth interviewer like this. Nice channel 👍👍👍
this is channel is sooo good yet different from other good ones. there are no cool lighting and other cool production stuff, there are no subtitles, there are no ads! it's like no one is watching this channel even the youtube itself!
You do great interviews, really enjoying them.
You ask the right questions and the actors seem to notice that.
OMGGGgg his laugh at 3:55 i'm dying.
th-cam.com/video/1IeK-V-Dlbo/w-d-xo.html (Dat laugh !)
What a phenomenal actor! I hope he gets so many great roles because he deserves it!
his voice is literally the best
One example of a great actor who comes to mind that might meet his qualifications is Chris Cooper. Has played a variety of roles and brings a lot to each.
First question, and you can see what he is thinking: "What an idiot ...!"
With best regards from Austria, the real cowcountry!
OMG what a voice...
What makes him a great actor is believability and a sort of sympathy with his character, and all that has to come from great preparation!
This interviewer has not once done a bad interview.
Bravo!
Really happy I stumbled upon this interview, I'm really impressed. Have a like.
One of my absolute favorite actors!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I love this interview, more because it is hard to pull out a good interview or conversation from Christoph waltz. I really like the format of the interview.. Thanks.
This man knows who he is in the cinematic aesthetic.
why do many people think he sounds ANGRY? he sounds a little bitter when he was asked about his past career but otherwise he looks like he's just a serious kind of guy to me.
Everybody say “Thank you Mr. Tarantino.”
We love you Christopher !!! Don't stop acting !
Is it weird that i have a huge crush on him and he’s probably 64!!!!
Have you seen Pulp Fiction? Sam did yell a lot in that movie, but I don't think anyone can argue that there was no emotion in his performance as Jules Winfield. I think Sam is an underrated actor that deserved an Oscar nod for his part as Stephen in Django, another performance that was chock full of emotion. Try watching Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, and Django again and you will see the true depth of his performances. He steps inside of his characters.
Love his voice, too❤️
When you interviewing someone, have good, educated questions to ask. Don't act star struck as soon as they sit down.
seeitnow but how can you not be when Christoph is front of you?
i think a loose structure worked well, the guy clearly has a lot to say i think the interview was better because he wasnt boxed into specific questions
absolutely adorable and brilliant actor!!!
He remembers something his daughter said over twenty years ago? Shit my daddy issues are rising... Oh no you don't! Get back into the box where you belong. Christoph I love you :'(
Haha that's so great! My heart melted too
best Christoph Waltz interview ever.
His voice is heaven
this man is amazing.
this was before he won 2 consecutive Academy Awards, cool to see and a follow up interview is in order!
I can see your angst, it's ok Christopher...I love everything you have done performing.
Chapeau! That's a great interview! Now i understand the actor Christoph Waltz much better and what the process of acting vs enjoying the decisive result, the movie, is all about ... ;-)
This is a incredible display of the value of emotional intelligence.
Completely perfect viewing🍻
Excellent interview with excellent questions.
Great interview. Not only Christoph who is a genius beside being a great on of a kind actor but also the interviewer. Not the usual late night/moring show bs.
Oh, I did that already. He's part German and Part Austrian. Another favorite actor from Austria.
And u 2, sir, you are an almost surely a perfect artist. Auf wiedersen!
